Results Anticipated.
This Will produce such results and
benefits as the following:
Children and parents Of children
will be brought TO think carefully of
the relationship of the schooling Of the
child TO the work which he is to do
IN life
There Will be an increasing ten
dency to differentiate courses of
study in the fields of elementary and
secondary education, to provide train
ing which Will lead to different voca-
tons
IT will lead to better enforcement
Of the compulsory attendance laws
of the states, and 10 such revision of
attendance and employment laws of
the state as Will meet the situation.
There will come such information
in regard to kinds and conditions of
employment open to children as can
not help but lead to improvement in
them.
Children will. in an increasing de-
gree. be steered away from dead-end
and blind ALLEY jobs into more progress
sive occupations.
"As guidance becomes more effective.
and the opportunities for vocational
training mare varied. children will be
induced to stay longer in school in or
der to get better preparation for life
work.
Then will come growing recogni-
ton that the most effective guidance is
that which leads to careers thru fur
Their training in al-day. part-time and
evening schools.
The home. the school and the pub
tic will become more alive TO the ne
cessity for cooperation in assuming
the responsibility for those who leave
school for work, and will oe led TO pro-
vide opportunities for part time and
continuation school work.
Industries will profit by The larger
efficiency which will come from more
careful selection of employees. coupled
with better ability and pre- paration.
and viii report accordingly.
Schools will profit by ibis contact
with the vocations, since they will
measure up the efficiency Of scheres
Of training in terms of their efforts"
