f,ccu l ml l - Xi PROGRESS OF THE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE The high school graduafe of I937 faces a more complex world Than any of his predecessors. Whefher he inTends To confinue his formal educafion or whefher he infends To go info indusfry. he has a more varied and possibly a more momenfous choice To make Than high school graduafes before him. Man occupafions formerly open To The high school graduafe now are open only To The college graduafe and many formerly open To The college graduaTe now require one or more years of graduafe sTudy. The boy or girl choosing college. Technical school, or business school musT choose his career four or more years in advance in order To reap The fullesf benefif of his educaTion. The graduafe wishing To commence his gainful occupafion immediafely has a difficulf choice To make. Too offen he Takes a job wiThouT considering The fuTure. Too offen he is forced To Take'The firsf one open because of economic necessify. ln order To live abundanfly a person musT develop as age and capacify for developmenf increase. Therefore iT is well To look for a posifion wiTh opporTuniTy for advancemenf so ThaT your life may be full as well as your pockefbook. There is a Tendency among humans To reduce life To habif. If This is done iT means ThaT a person has arbifrarily limifed The environmenf To which he is To reacT. and. Therefore. has shuT ouT The possibilify of furfher development This does noT mean ThaT The individual should noT acquire man habifs, b'-T iT does mean ThaT There musT be a sphere of acTiviTy. beyond The habifual. where There is a place for The furTher develop- menT of habifs. Colvin sa s: The difference befween The erson who confinues To make progress all Through his life. and The one whose real Iii is ended in early man- hood is ThaT The former always possesses an open mind and The aTTiTude of finding in his environmenf furfher possibilifies of adiusTrnenT. Therefore, leT us remember, when we choose a vocaTion. or an avocafion, or any form of recreafion. To choose Those acTiviTies which lead To furfher acTiviTies and noT Those ThaT keep us in a ruT. LeT us keep in mind ThaT real social progress depends on The progress of The individual as well as on new invenfions and new scienfific discoveries. HOWARD E. BAKER.
