Attention All Parent? _ - - - 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. ANNOUNCING NEW LOCATION OF ECONOMY AUCTION COMPANY The Economy Auction Company has moved back to their old location on the East side of Courthouse square.

B. WALLACE 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.

T a r ~ , " y .TT”' •- '.•: “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 cruitment foi various occupa- Thursday, May2B, jgjjg. 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.
