LC UDY OUTLINE SERIES VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND GUIDANCE OF YOUTH AN OUTLINE FOR STUDY THE H \V. WILSON COMPANY E PLAINS, N. Y.. AND NBW YORK CITY 1917 The Study Outline and Its Use The series includes outlines on art, literature, travel, biography, history and present day ques- tions. The outlines vary in length. If more topics are given than the number of club meetings for the season, those topics that are more difficult to handle or on which there is less available material, may be dropped. If there are fewer topics than the scheduled meetings, certain topics may be divided. Lists of books are appended to most of the outlines. It would be well for the club to own some of the recommended books. Others can be obtained either from the local public library or from the state traveling library. When very full lists are given it is not necessary for any club to use all the books, but the longer list leaves more room for choice. The best material on some subjects may be found, not in books, but in magazines. These may be looked up under the subject in the Reader J Guide to Periodical Literature. Maga- zine articles and illustrated material may be ob- tained from the Wilson Package Library. For terms see fourth page of cover. A list of the study outlines now in print will be found on page three of this cover. For later additions to the list write to publisher.* VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND GUIDANCE OF YOUTH AN OUTLINE FOR STUDY EMILY ROBISON THE H. W. WILSON COMPANY WHITE PLAINS, N. Y.. AND NEW YORK CITY 1917 UC INTRODUCTORY NOTE The subject of vocational education and guidance of youth of public school age is so broad that a number of books will need to be used as a basis of study. If the local public or school library does not contain the books of the shorter list, the other material may be found on the subject. Some clubs have found the method practicable of buying those books which they need for study and then presenting them to the public library. State commissions are often glad to furnish material. The United States Bureau of Education publishes two bulletins one on Vocational Education (1916 No. 21) and one on Vocational Guidance (1914 No. 14) which will be found of use in most programs. The outline may be used for papers and discussion. The references at the end of each division are arranged so that anyone wanting to look up definite points might readily find them. Dooley's "Education of: the t Ne'er-do-well," Daven- port's "Education for Sccial' Efficiency" or Snedden's "Problem of Vocational E-du cation" ^re interesting read- ing on the subject in genera-. !

Within the limits of needful activities one occu- pation is as important as another, and a system of universal education must enrich them all, or the i -n1\ arc we concerned that this labor shall not result to the detriment of the child, and what ex- cuse are we making to ourselves for thus prema- turely using up the strength which really belongs to the next generation? Of course, it is always difficult to see the wrong in a familiar thing; it is almost a test of moral insight to be able to see that an affair of familiar intercourse and daily living may also be wrong.
