tytuun the. What shall I do? What shall I do? What shall I do? What shall I do? If I have helped you as a senior girl answer any one or all of the above four questions, and if you feel that you can still come back to visit me, or write to me next fall when you’re at college, or care to confide in me those aspirations and hopes, then my work as girls' adviser has been worth while. Your friend, Leona L. Soehren The duties of the boys' adviser are similar to those of the dean of men in colleges and univer- sities, which are two fold. I. Direct dealings with students and parents on such functions as the emotional, social, educational, moral and voca- tional problems of youth. 2. Administrative, as an assistant to the head of the institution, the principal, in such administrative duties as involve the students of the high school and the general school program. In the daily routine, the adviser is in direct contact with the individual student and in a posi- tion to give timely advice on all matters dealing with the educational growth of the student. The adviser lends assistance in planning the educa- tional programs, with the consideration of the later vocational interest and need of the student. Inasmuch as the individuals all differ in their emo- tions as well as in their abilities, in no two cases is the advice and probable adjustment the same. Problem cases, where students are failing to meet their own requirements, require timely attention. The adviser advises teachers and parents in prob- lems of classroom behavior and also in problems arising from the students' social contacts, in and out of school. Paul A. Young 16
