摘要:

In these days when a student's cumulative record card ordinarily contains, in addition to his school marks, his scores in various tests, it is surely important to him that his counselor should know whether these scores mean anything, and if so, what.This article and the one which follows are taken from the manuscript of a forthcoming volume on Aptitudes and Aptitude Tests prepared for the National Occupational Conference. The first part of the book treats of the questions a person brings to his vocational counselor and the procedures used in helping him to ascertain his bent, and against this background portrays the nature of aptitude, the principles governing the selection and administration of tests, and the meaning of the measures they yield. Several chapters are then devoted to aptitudes for special fields of employment: manual occupations, clerical occupations, business, and the professions. Finally, selected tests are described in sufficient detail to facilitate their proper use. The author is conservative, maintaining that even the best tests help a counselor to raise questions more often than to answer them; but he does hold—to quote from the introductory chapter—that “the day has gone by when a counselor's responsibilities could be fully met without any reference whatever to the records of a person's behavior in the carefully standardized situations called t

摘要:

Knowing the value of occupational therapy for handicapped children in general, Dr. Bishop in writing this paper has embraced the popular hobby idea and applied it in particular to children with handicapped hearts—whose number is legion. Further realizing the necessity, in these days of depression, for hobbies entailing small outlay, he has tried to strike the common denominator by embodying in his paper such simple, workable ideas as he has found practical for the handicapped child, keeping within both financial and physical limits. He clearly conveys the importance of a definite interest in some given hobby as a boon not only to the sick child but to mother, nurse, or teacher. This paper was recently broadcast as an address over Station W ABC under the auspices of the New York Academy of Medicine, Medical Information Burea

摘要:

The handicap of the handicapped child, whether it be a weak heart or impaired hearing, or something else, is often no more serious than the handicap imposed by lack of sympathy and understanding on the part of others. This latter kind of handicap must be removed if the child is to make the most of his educational and vocational opportunities. A positive approach to this problem is necessary in order that the child himself may acquire the ability to deal successfully with his own problem.

摘要:

Readers of this magazine are, of course, greatly interested in the plans and activities of the National Youth Administration. Any national youth program must be a matter of vital interest and concern to all citizens, regardless of party creed or affiliation. This one, though under governmental auspices, depends for success largely on the intelligent and willing cooperation of existing private as well as public agencies and institutions. We asked Mary H. S. Hayes, Director of Guidance and Placement of the NYA, to tell our readers about the guidance phases of the program. The story here presented is brief—but important to all workers in the guidance and adjustment fiel

摘要:

The problem of articulation between high school and college is one that has increasingly engaged the attention of educators. Reference to it has occasionally been made in the pages of this magazine, for back of the administrative and curricular adjustments involved in this problem are the student's own adjustments in his transition from high school to college. The wastage of time, money, and effort that results from faulty articulation is not only an institutional loss, it is also an individual loss. It is one of the functions of educational guidance to reduce such wastage and loss. Educational procedures and devices which contribute to this end are in harmony with guidance aims. Moreover these procedures and devices cannot be fully effective without the accompaniment of educational guidance, under whatever name it may be provided. In the following article an articulation device adopted by the University of Buffalo is described by two members of the faculty, the description including the methods by which students are selected and guided under this experimental plan.

摘要:

In the following article Dr. Thompson briefly describes and analyzes some of the occupations available for girls and women in the field of practical arts. Indications are given of the personal and training requirements for successful work as textile designer, costume designer, costume illustrator, interior decorator, and manufacturer's or department store stylist. Here is art not for art's sake, perhaps, but not entirely for vocation's sake, for an art vocation may not only afford expression to artistic impulses but also contribute to the world's enjoyment of beauty in daily life.
