are below half General Efficiency requirements, it is indicated by a blank. (See Y. M.

M. I. A. Hand Book, pp. 17, 18, for regulations.)

Helping Him to Choose Wisely

A few years ago a young man gradu-

ated from the law school of a noted uni-

versity. He had a host of friends, he had

inherited a modest fortune and every-

body predicted a brilliant career. But

he didn't succeed. Why? Simply because

he disliked office work and had no taste

for the law and therefore he never even

attempted to begin practice.

Having nothing definite to do, he be-

came discouraged and finally started on

the downward path of dissipation. For-

tunately, however, a wise friend, who un-

derstood the principles of "vocational

guidance" took hold of the young man.

He found that the boy loved outdoor life

and that he was interested in horses and

machinery. Accordingly the boy was

urged to purchase a farm and to study

scientific agriculture.

Today that young man is one of the

most successful farmers and stockmen in

America. And his success is due to

proper "vocational guidance," or the se-

lection of the work for which he was

best adapted.

Statistics show that 763 out of every

1000 persons in gainful occupations feel

that they are in the wrong vocations. In

other words, they are "square pegs in

round holes" and therefore the chances

for their success are very slim. And the

sad part of it all is that such failures are

unnecessary.

"The Man of Tomorrow"

a wonderful new book on "Vocational Guidance"

By

Claude Richards

a successful business man,

will help every young man and woman in the selection of their life work. It is

suited for young and old, and should be read by every parent.

"Vocational Guidance," as outlined in Claude Richards' book, is insurance against

failure and a short cut to success.

The book is substantially bound in red vellum; it is printed on good paper, is

profusely illustrated and has 296 pages. The price is extremely low — ONLY $1, post-

paid $1.10.
