STYL s A VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE CONFERENCE WITH MR. MCFARLAND Vocational Guidance - A guidance system is being developed in our whole city system under the able leader' ship of Mr. Vlorcester Warren, Assistant Superintendent of Schools. Beginning with the SA grades, regularly assigned periods of vocational study have been included in the course of the school week. With the aid of bulletins Qovering the main points of over fortyfiive occupations and through the use of books listed in our local libraries, an intensive and profitable program of the dissemination of vocational information has been arranged. The SA teachers act as personal advisers to their pupils in recommending investigations of their occupational interests, that they may better choose the most suitable subjects for their first high school year. In Warren Harding High School a contin' uation of this preliminary ground work of guidance is carried on through the aid of the home room teachers of classes 1, 2, 3,. 4 and the vocational adviser. A very complete guidance card for each student in these class' es is filled out each term by means of a per' sonal interview with either the teacher or the vocational adviser. The latter has made it a custom to interview personally every incom' ing class I boy and most of the boys of class 2. Small group conferences are also held with the vocational adviser in regard to the choice of vocation, the selection of subjects, or the requirements of various colleges, whose latest catalogues are kept constantly at hand. Each term talks are given in all the 8A grades throughout the east side of the city, visits made to the State Trade School with those boys who have evidenced such an inf terest, and representatives from all the 8A grades on this side of the river conducted on a tour through our high school. As calls come from grammar school principals, the ad' viser holds conferences with parent groups at night on the subject of high school educa' tion. Our guidance program has reached these dimensions at this time, and we are planning definitely to enlarge upon this per' sonnel work next year. john J. McFarland, vocational adviser
