HIGH SCHOOL FACULTY SHOULD A BOY ENTER HIS FATHER'S BUSINESS? The boy who goes into his father's business with the idea of going for the experience and not because it will be an easy position, is the boy who will be successful in this age of business. He becomes acquainted with busif ness methods and with the business world in general. Usually when a boy enters upon his career he is not quite sure of his ability, but by working with his parent he gains a little confidence in himself. On the other hand, the losses of going into the father's business with the intention of staying there are great. First, the father is apt to carry the greatest responsibilities, leaving but a few- minor ones to the son. This leads the boy to treat the business light' ly and when greater responsibilities do rest on the boy's shoulders he is too weak to carry them. The boy does not get the chance to learn every phase of the business by work' ing from the bottom up, but rather he starts from the topmost rung and is. usually in danger of falling when the business rests en' tirely with him. He does not get a chance to decide things for himself, as he would be obliged to do if he was employed by someone other than his fatherg when any difficult problem should come up, he would immediately refer it to his parent without stopping to give it any thought himself. Some boys would feel themselves superior to their fellow workers, and would stir up a feeling of envy and dis' content among the staff. If the parent was a bit lax or careless in regard to business matters, the boy would more than likely adopt the same methods. Even if the boy was a success people would always regard him in a little paler light than the boy who rose from a position of ob' scurity. Clemana Parker Page Eleven

' Vocations PLANNING A VOCATION At the time a young man is about to com' plete his education or wishes to continue in a higher institution, he has the responsibflfty of deciding his life work. Those entering business must decide in favor of a 'particular kind. Those continuf ing their schooling must plan their profes- sions before they begin. It is, indeed, very important that a young man should know what field he would like to enter and if he is in any way fitted for it. A person fitted for the work of a lawyer should not en' deavor to Abe an architect, unless he is also gifted along that line. In that case it ref mains with himself to decide. Onelmay have a specific 'program he wofild care to follow. If 'he has, then everything he does can be ezrecuted for the furtherance of his plans. ' When one watches a plane, whose pilot has no particular place to go, it seems that the man' at the controlslis lazy, but when we see a plane llying true on its course it reprcf sents determination and labor on the part of pilot. Soit is with a student who has made plans forithe future., X u V N John Ehrblir COMMERCIAL ADVERTISING A, Advertising is a subject of universal inter? est to everyone. No matter where we go or what we do, we see the results of great, arf tists. I V -In the past advertising and advertisements were dull and unnatural, and although they were looked on then .as beautifuland interest' ing, a-re not to be compared with the ,paves of today which are real works? of art eiref cuted by- artists who do it as means of livelif hood. Consider some of the most outstanding adf vertfisements such as those illustrating travel. Let us pause for a moment to glance thru some of' these pictures. The Santa Fe region: a bronze colored Indian standing rigid as a sentinel on some glittering cliif of the Grand Canyon with pale lavender clouds in the distance 'while the turbulent blue water be' low laughs at the sun chasing ghastly shaf dows up and down the Canyon. Perhaps we're in Africa. The dense green foliage of the jungle and crystal streams that reflect the images of yonder mountains. Then, too, we see Japan, an impressive stillness prevails. Trees, air and water' are still. Tea and coffee groves on gentle .slopes casts their shadows on the water below, while a solitary swan glides its silent way over the surface, making ripples that break the monotony. Artists have depicted these pictures for 'us only thru their utmost abilities, which are most beautiful and naturalw ' A Is it not easier -to see now, why advcr' tising as an art will never die? Une never tires of pictures, whether they be old or new. They are a constant source tending to bind people in all 'walks of life closer tc' gether, cheering many as well' as interesting those young minds who long to be:rme grcai artists. ' Q C I 'K H ' ' 'Francis I Beecher PHYSICAL EDUCATION' ' Physical Education is recognized and ac' cepted in every good school program of the country. Thirtyfsix states have, and others are considering, laws requiring Physical Edu' citation to be taught in all public schoolsfand most schoolsland 'colleges' now reqtrre it-for graduation. This -has increased the demand for college trained men to teaeh sports and direct gymnastic work. ' Most colleges have recently' increased this course from three to four years, and because of the increasing demand for such men their salaries l'i3Q-V6l 1l3QEI'1 increased- also: Some coaches receive very largesalaries, which' in- crease every year. ' I The work is clean and healthy, also very pleasing. I All 'young Amen and women who choose this vocation for their life work and really try, I am- sure, will never be sorry: ' ' ' 2 George Oclzershausen REBIRTH .
