摘要:

The author of the following article spent the greater part of last summer observing the British way—or ways—of dealing with the problem —or problems—of the occupational adjustment of youth. Here is a description, analysis, and general evaluation, all in one, of the facilities and methods used in this guidance effort. There is no attempt to compare the British and American “systems,” first, because they are not truly systems, and second, because they are not properly comparable. But Dr. Keller does point out many likenesses and differences of viewpoint and approach, and discusses the significant values of the British experience for the American task. Before publication the manuscript was submitted for corrections and suggestions to most of the persons mentioned in the article and to representatives of the principal agencies to which reference is made, but the author modestly claims responsibility for the remaining errors, if any, whether of fact or of int

摘要:

College seniors must hear of the “good old times” of five years ago, when their predecessors were sought out by employers, with the wonder with which one listens to a fairy tale. For them the seeking is the other way around, with the finding extremely difficult. Practical suggestions, therefore, from a man on the hiring side of the desk, especially a man with the experience of the Research Director of the Industrial Relations Division of the Procter&Gamble Company, are to be warmly welcomed and attentively conside

摘要:

All previous surveys are dwarfed into insignificance by one which culminates in a national bureau containing the story of every person in the country from birth to death! But this gigantic survey will have to wait for occupational surveys, at which we have made a beginning but only a beginning. Now, argues Mr. Sublette, is the moment for communities to make such surveys—the number of positions to be covered is at a minimum and plenty of persons are available for the task at low cost. Vocational counseling, along with every other part of the educational process, will benefit from the findings, becoming better as its basis of facts becomes broade

摘要:

Professor Thorndike needs no introduction. Neither, it would seem, does the book calledThe Prediction of Vocational Success,in which he and his associates recorded the findings and conclusions of their study of that subject. It has attracted widespread attention, particularly among persons concerned with problems of educational and vocational guidance. It has drawn the fire of competent critics, which speaks rather well for it. Dr. Thorndike is the kind of scientist whose works and words carry the weight of authority, but he is also the kind of authority who can take a scientific attitude toward criticism. He calls the following rejoinder to two of the marksmen “Rebounds from the Target”—but “rebounds” is perhaps a mild term for some of his return shots. We gather, too, that in his opinion, some of the shots fired by Professor Paterson and Mr. Macrae in the October issue ofOccupationswere more or less in the nature of duds or fell entirely outside the mark. Be that as it may, here is Professor Thorndike to speak for himself. If he needs no introduction, he also needs n

摘要:

Miss Lewis here presents the poet's way of looking at occupations—or rather, the many ways of many poets. She has made a list of 250 poems dealing wholly or in large part with particular occupations or with particular aspects of the working life. Perhaps readers of this essay and of the appended list will suggest other titles, and will express their opinion on the desirability of a published antholog

摘要:

This is the first of a series of articles on how to start a guidance program. The other contributors, like Dr. Hoppock, will each describe one way to do it, since, of course, there is more than one way.
