In their new office the counselors perform their duties much more efficiently with the use of their materials on colleges, vocations, testing programs, and many other fields. When a student had a problem, a conference with the counselor often helped him gain a better understanding of himself and his problems. When a student had a research paper to write, a theme, or simply wanted to read a good book for pure enjoyment, he headed for the library. No student was expected to plunge into the job of finding what he sought unaided. This was a job that required patience and a general knowledge of the library.
