PROCESS OF ELIMINATION.
ways of Helping Boys to Find what
They Want to he.

They Want to He.
The bent Of boys mind with reference
to what he would like to be when he grows
to manhood, says the Chicago Inter Ocean,
can best be determined by the process Of
elimination. Little boys nearly always
hope to be soldiers, sailors, policemen, con-
ductors or motormen. Uniforms, brass
buttons and firearms attract them. They
like to think of being heroic figures, and
even motormen are heroes in the eyes Of
the little urchins.
Later on in life the boy dreams of being
a man Of power. Money appeals to him
more and more. This is the time to begin
the process OF elimination. Put down on
paper list OF fifty or more occupations
covering the widest possible field and ar
ranged alphabetically. Under A. for in
stance, would be placed actor animal
trainer, artist, author; under b would be
found butcher and baker, and G would
carry chemist, carpenter, carriage maker,
etc
Take one character of occupation from
the list under A and provide the boy with
prime material about It. First, the actor.
Under that head would come the study re-
quired. the opportunity for employment, the
hours of labor the necessity for travelling
the earning capacity of the average player

weigh the things in the business that are
pleasing against those that are not. Give
him three days to think 1t over At the
end of that time the boy will be prepared
to say finally 1t is an occupation which
doesn't appeal to him, or that he might
like 1t.
Don't force him to eliminate. Before the
end of the list is reached and serious
thought has been given to all the occupa-
lions he will have satisfied himself that
four out of every five appeal to him not
at all They may be stricken from the list.
| The occupations remaining should then
be taken up as a new list and considered
| again even more seriously. IL ten remain,
| weeks time could we'll be given to the
consideration OF each one. Further linn
itations would result. Finally, only two or
three would remain. Out Of this number
a youth will make a selection to his liking
| This method OF helping a boy find what
he wants to be has been adopted by many
school teachers in New York and New
England.
