摘要:

The guidance features of the Fieldston School are implicit in its educational program, and this program is a definite expression of an educational philosophy. In the Fieldston Plan, moreover, we find no line of demarcation between educational guidance and vocational guidance. They are one, or at least they appear as two aspects of one thing. So complete is the reconciliation—or the fusion—of these two phases of the guidance process! Another fact may be noted. The cultural and the utilitarian aims of education are likewise so reconciled—or fused—that no conflict is discernible. This may be partly due to the fact that Fieldston students are above the average in intelligence and their parents above the average in cultural status. Vocationalism has its recognition in the curriculum, not on the basis of sheer materialistic practicality, but rather on the basis of educational value. The Fieldston School is the secondary department of the Ethical Culture Schools of New York City, which were founded in 1878 by Felix Adler under the name of the Workingman's School. Its student body includes tuition, part‐tuition, and free‐scholarship pupils. The school thus represents the democratic principle, in that children of various social grades, irrespective of differences in race and creed, work side by side in a common fellowship of learning. The larger part of the following article is an adaptation of a chapter in the Yearbook of the National Society for Curriculum Study, shortly to be published by the D. Appleton‐Ce

摘要:

The quatrain from the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam forms a fitting introduction to the following article, provided one reads into the tentmaker's words a philosophy of faith instead of a philosophy of doubt. And that is what the reader is bound to do before he has finished with this discourse on guidance in the light of history, including its own history. Guidance to this author is a philosophy as well as a gospel, but it is a philosophy of hope and challenge. It is, too, a philosophy as well as a method or a methodology, but a philosophy which is, in some sense, a way of life.

摘要:

Here is another radio playlet—we printed one in the March issue of this magazine—in the series of broadcasts on vocational guidance conducted by the American School of the Air over the Columbia Broadcasting System. It was presented in the course bearing the general title of “The World of Work,” prepared by the Vocational Guidance Committee of the National Advisory Council on Radio in Education in cooperation with the National Occupational Conference. The programs are given on Friday afternoons. The scripts will be collected and published in book form under NOC auspices after the series concludes on May 10. The following skit was introduced by the announcer thus: “Our vocational guidance drama this week has been based upon the preference of some individuals for work with their hands. The action takes place in the kitchen of the Thomas flat around supper time of a spring evening.” L

摘要:

In England women are favored—because of their special qualifications for the work—in making appointments as housing managers for the numerous projects of varied type, private and public, in the field of slum clearance and “model homes” administration. They are required to have the spirit and training of social workers, plus training and ability in business. Special training facilities for this growing profession are provided. The author of the following article believes that in this country there is likely to be a rapid development of opportunities for women in housing management. Steps are already being taken by the National Association of Housing Officials, in cooperation with the Federal Housing Administration, to provide the necessary training fac

摘要:

If junior colleges are coming into their own, so is the profession of dean of women in such institutions. The number of coeducational junior colleges employing persons with this or some equivalent title, or with duties which are commonly accepted as pertaining to the work of a dean of women, has greatly increased in recent years. In this article Miss Hilton reports on the functions and activities of such persons, on their training and other qualifications, and makes a number of suggestions and recommendations on the basis of the facts discovered in her survey.

摘要:

Readers of this magazine are familiar with Dr. Thorndike's ten‐year follow‐up study of New York City school children which was reported in the December 1933 issue under the title, “The Prediction of Success in Vocational Life,” and in book form under the title, “The Prediction of Vocational Success.” Dr. Thorndike here adds what might be called a postscript to the previously published findings, if the postscript did not deal with so important a subject as job satisfaction. To this subject he makes a significant contribution in the following brief article. Reports of liking and disliking for jobs, obtained from 1140 employed boys and girls aged 18 to 22, revealed less than ten per cent who disliked their work. The study mentioned in the first paragraph is to be published shortly by NOC. Along with other studies of job attitudes, it reports the first attempt to secure indications of satisfaction or dissatisfaction from a sampling of the employed adult population, covering all occupations and all ages
