Student Guidance: What Does It Really Mean?.
■EDITOR'S NOTE—'Thi* if the first
Cl a series of articles dealing with
vocational guidance released by the
National Foundation for Student
Guidance to weekly newspapers
Ihroughoul this state. The purpose of
lhls series is to acquaint tho parents
cl the youth of this nation with the
pressing need for understanding and
providing adequate vocational guid
ance to the students of American
schools. _ _.
The author of the series, Dr. Ed
ward C. Roeber, is widely known in
this field. He is Professor of Educa
tion at the University of Michigan.
He has written numerous articles
and books dealing with this problem
for various publications.
The National Foundation for Stu
dent Guidance is a non-profit orga
nisation dedicated to creating a
better understanding of the need for
vocational guidance throughout the
United States.
By Dr. Edward C. Roeber
Just exactly what is vocation
al guidance? Don’t be embar
rassed if you don’t know the
answer. The truth of the matter
is that probably the majority of
the parents of school age chil
dren in this country are in the
same boat as you.
Frankly, insofar as the over
whelming majority of American
.educators is concerned, this is
*not a good situation. You need
to know about vocational guid
ance and whaUit means because
you owe it to your children to
know.
Basically, vocational guidance
is simply this; a service provid
ed through our school sy terns
to assist pupils in making intel
ligent decisions regarding sub
jects which will prepare them
for their lift's work. You’ve
heard the saying about a “square
peg in a round hole” and it is
unfortunately irue that too
many human beings find them
selves in this predicament when
it is too late to do anything
about it, or when it means giv
ing up seniority or financial
security in order to shift oc
cupations. *
Asa result, it is undoubtedly
'true that fine talents are wasted
because young men and young
women aren’t doing that for
which they are best fitted or in
which they are most interested.
At the risk of oversimplifying
the problem, let’s say that the
primary function of vocational
guidance is to prevent any
square pegs from getting in
round holes.
When grammar school young
sters are asked, "What do you
want to be when you grow up?”
The most popular answers are
always locomotive engineers,
policemen, nurses, movie stars,
doctors, forest rangers, firemen,
and maybe bus drivers; but
these answers are dream an
swers. In just a few short years
some of these same youngsters
may be thinking seriously about
engineering, education, journal
ism, banking, law, medicine, or
business administration.
* In every high school of Amer
ica there are young men and
young women who are per
■ plexed about their future, their
educational and vocational plans.
The Forsvth Countv News
Service is a fast-disappearing phenomenon
on the American scene.
A fellow who can tell you what the weather
is going to be is a liar.
Why is it that the individual with the most
money, or the loudest mouth, usually dominates
the social climbers’ circle?
Christian living means obeying your good
impulses every day, and notw aiting for Sunday
services to come around.
Food, rest, mental peace and exercise are
the four golden keys to old age. Better try to
take advantage of this advice.

We owe it to our youth and
to our country to do everything
we can to see that the native
talents of American youth are
steered in the direction which
will best serve mankind as well
as the individual.
Let’s take a look, for example,
at Bill. He could be in any high
school in America. What’s on
Bill’s mind? For one thing, he
is wondering whether he will
ever amount to anything. Like
everyone else he wants to be
somebody nothing extra spe
cial but a regular guy with a
regular job living a respectable
life. Bill wants his share of the
future. He wants a chance to de
velop some special skills and to
get those things which we in
America take for granted.
It ail sounds quite simple to
those of us who have already
made a place for ourselves in
the world of work. To Bill, how
ever, it is not quite so simple.
Bill is wondering about a lot
of things. Should he go to col
lege? He'll need help. Perhaps
his family would have to give
up all its savings. And what
about his brother and sister?
They will need help, too. Or,
after high school, should he take
some special training? Should
he follow his Dad’s trade or
strike out on his own?
Dad could help him get s'art
ed, sure, but maybe Bill isn’t
sure he wants to do what Dad
has done all his life.
There’s nothing wrong with
Dad’s job, but Bill wants to do
something with electronics at
least he thinks he does.
What about chances for find
ing a job in that field?
And how about the armed
services? He might be able to
get some special training if he
enlists. How much choice would
he have?
And so it goes. Lots of ques
tions. Where are the answers?
Professional guidance is the
answer.
If Bill were the only one with
such questions, there would be
no need for vocational guidance.
But the case of Bill can be mul
tiplied many times, and in ad
dition there are all the Marys
and other young women who
also have special problems in
career planning.
Bill and Mary need special
help in planning for and gaining
a foothold in a career.
Actually, there are many rea
sons why Bill and Mary find to
day's decisions rather difficult
1 —perhaps even more confusing
; than the choices which faced
j their parents only twenty years
ago. A few more examples of
I the challenges and obstacles
j which confront the Bills and the
I Marys might help ill of us un
j derstand more clearly the in
| creasing need for vocational
; guidance not only in the large
schools but also in every one of
I the small schools.
Jack will soon leave high
school, having earned top honors
in his class. He would like to
try for a medical degree some
day, but he realizes it will take
at least eight years of college
work. Jack is wondering wheth
er he has what it takes to get
good marks in college. What
would he do if he found, after a
couple of years in college, that
he couldn’t do the work well?
He would also like to know
whether to go to a small college
or a big university. Because his
scholarship will not cover all
his expenses, he would like to
know how to earn part of his
way. Or would that affect his
marks and thus stop him from
being accepted at a medical
school? What would he do if he
were not accepted? .
Jack also knows that there are
many who would like to get into
these schools and that there are
not enough places for all of
them. What else could he do for
| a living? Maybe something in bi
! ology, chemistry, or pharmacy?
Jill is a tenth grade student
in a large school. She has made
average marks but has had
special difficulties with Eng
lish. Currently she is undecided
about whether to drop school as
soon as she is sixteen. She is
wondering what kinds of work
she can find if she leaves school.
Low does one go about finding a
job? Does a high school diploma
mike any difference in finding
jobs? If she decided to stay in
school, which ones of the many
courses should she take? For a
change, she would like some
thing which interests her. Of
course, if she “sticks it out,”
how can she do better work in
English?
Jim is not interested in a col
lege degree. But he wants a
trade of some kind, some work
where he can build or repair
things. He is not sure as yet
what trade to enter.. In or near
his home town are three kinds
of schools, a trade school, a tech
nical school, and a college offer
ing a two-year course. There are
also several industries with ap
prenticeship programs. He is
wondering whether to go to one
of these schools, to start an ap
prenticeship as soon as he grad
uates, or to begin learning a
trade in one of the armed serv
ices. What is best for him?
Ron dropped school when he
was sixteen. Since that time, he
has held several “dead end”
jobs. Each one paid enough to
live on, but none of them of
fered him a chance for promo
tion or learning any special
skill. Whichever way he turns
he learns that the “good” jobs
require at least a high schqol
education. At the present time
he is waiting to be drafted and
feels sorry for himself, not sure
what to do while he waits. Ron
needs guidance desperately.

“The Square Pec, in the Round Hole”
has brought about an increa' ng
number of occupations—pr ba
bly more than 40,000 at the j es
ent time. Technological changes
have been taking place at such a
rapid pace that forecasting occu
pational trends has become a
hazardous occupation. Twenty
years ago there was no such
person as a space doctor. Today
we cannot predict how many
will be needed in the next
twenty years.
Farming has become so high
ly mechanized and scientific
that fewer farmers can feed
more people.
Refrigeration has changed the
transportation of foods, such as
oranges from crates to cans.
The influences of American
inventiveness upon jobs is end
less. Young people today must
aim at a “moving target” for the
world of work does not stand
stiH. They have to learn to aim
at and adjust to as many for
seeable changes as possible
quite a task for even an expert
on the subject.
As America becomes involved
in a struggle for survival it is
essential that every person de
velop his talents as much as pos
sible. Asa nation it is impossi
ble to depend upon sheer num
bers in the population for sur
vival but rather upon ingenuity
and an ability to outproduce
unfriendly nations. Our young
people are the hope of the
future. They will be “pressured”
to do this or to do that. Re

tions may influence someone to
enter an occupation for which
he js not suited and where he
is nc't as productive as he
might be.
Somehow the Bills and Marys
must work their ways through
the maze of opportunities, biind
alleys, and obstacles. They can
be helped in an organized man
ner. This is vocational guidance.
An organized approach to vo
cational guidance is already pres
ent in some schools throughout
America. In these schools Bib
and Mary are helped to find va--
rious kinds of information about
themselves and possible educa
tion: 1 and occupational opportu
nities. Some of the information
is given to them individually,
as they need it, or in groups,
such as regular classes, home
rooms, or occupational planning
courses. In addition, counselors,
and teachers with special sk s,
counsel and talk over with the
students how they can best u e
their talents in relation to dif
ferent kinds of training tr.d
occupational requirements. Ee
eause young people grow and
change with new experiences,
they find these services ava:'-
able to them all through high,
school. Many who see the value
in helping young men and wom
en “get a good start” in the
world of work hope that every
young American can have an>
opportunity to receive adequate!
vocational guidance in his high'
school, regardless of its size or
location.
