Talk by Professor Pufiers.

That the ground Is Just begin
ming TO be broken i'm the study OF
vocational guidance was "A declara-
tiOn made last evening NJ the gath
rrimr OF instructors from all parts of
southern Minnesota in the assembly
ball nj the state normal school. by
!. Adams Pufrer, director of the
Beacon Vocation Bureau of Boston,
Mass. Mrs. Puffer was the principal
speaker of the evenings program.
The speaker asked the question
how many men OF middle life were
ready to say that they were happy
aud cOntented with the vacations
they had chosen and were ready to
stay in them. He said these TO whom
he had put the question answered in
such a way as TO lead him to be.
lieye that this was the case with not
more than halt of them. Mr.. Puffer
thought the educational institutions
percentage 10 fifty-fiye or sixty. He
thought the percentage Hf those who
were satisfied was higher among
women. He was inclined TO think
that scycntr-liyu out OF hundred
women we're Cvntentcd with the vo.
cations they were ir IIc believed.
however. that at least twenty-five out
of every hundred women found them
selves Obliged Ia live with men who
had gotten into yOcatioDs Tor which
they were not fitted.
Help Pupil to Discover Himself
One OF the first steps that teach
or should take in helping the boy
or girl TO choose life vocation
rightly was Ia help the pupil discoy-
or himself. In order To do this there
were certain mirrors that should be
used. onc- Of these mirrors was the
study of history. Boys and girls
should be taught history with view
10 seeing what successful men and
women did with themselves I'm the
early part OF their lives. Many peo-
pie had an idea that successful peo-
pie as a rule in their early lives had
hard conditions tn meet. Mr.. Puffer
said he did not think this was so.
As rule they were the most favored
people ON earth.
The second mirror that the speak
or pointed out, whereby the pupil
could discover himself was the study
or the family tree. AS an illustration
he outlined the family tree of the
Puher family, and showed that there
were many teachers and forehen.
He drew from this the conclusion
that the development OF that family
had been favorable to the production
OF men and women who had some
aptitude at governing other people.
The third method of finding out
what pupil is naturally nj for Is
to try him at different yocations.
Mr.. Puffer named four different lines
at which hefhouglit the pupil should
be tried. These were Office work,
craftsmanship. mechanical work and
agriculture.
Mr.. Puffer said success depended
very largely ON natural ability. but
Il also depended very largely on nc
qnired habits. These habits were ac.
qriired very early i'm life. and the
school room had much to do with
them. lie named five habits which
teachers should endeavor to get the
pupils TO acquire. These were &C.
curacy, attention to business, cheer.
fulness, honesty and reverence. He
expatiated at some length on each
of these and the best ways OF culti
waiting il.

the senate might go 10 vote in
the house without hearing.
Opponents of the bill today began
strenuous campaign. Letters were
sent to legislators and there were
many telephone and personal calls
to ask fight against the bill. The
opponents made things SO hot for the
legislators that the senate had TO vote
on n motion to call back its bill
from the house for reconsideration.
The motion was lost and the bill
will remain I'm the house.
In the house a similar bin, intro
duced by Representatives II. II. iar-
rison and &. G. Malmberg. has al
ready been considered in committee
and hearing has been had.
The demand that ST sure to be
made for a hearing for the senate
bill. which was introduced by Senator
g. II. Sullivan, will meet a fight on
the floor, on the ground thai the
matter has already been heard Op-
ponents of the bill. who say that
they were not informed of the first
hearing, say this would deprive them
OF chance To be heard.
Not only are many consumers.
milk producers and experts who have
worked for high grade milk opposed
10 the bill, but the big milk dealers
as well. Heads OF big milk compan-
les say that they buy all their milk,
,,f, hn
milk is thin the price to the pro.
Queer will be thin and that the pro.
Queer will be the only one harmed.

fitted nor harmed directly. they say.
W. 4. Page of the Creamery com
pany said today that his company
wanted the standard left where IL is
I'VE want tn sell high standard
milk because our customers demand
that kind" he said. Even if the
law permitted thinner milk. we would
not sell Il because we would have
endless trouble with the customers
\ lower standard will merely mean
n lower price To the producer. Even
the price on the butter fat basis
would have 10 he reduced If we han.
die a lot Of water tn get the milk"
A. u. Rhunkc of the Metropolitan
Milk company said that he would
give the house committee information
showing that the law would benefit
no one but producers.
Senator Sullivan. author of the.
bill. got loud laugh today when he
seconded the motion for recall.
afterwards asking what bill was to
be recalled, and hastily withdrawing
his second when he found out.
Senator l.ende said he had voted
sor the bin without approaching
what II involved. 1T will throw
down the barriers to the sale of
milk that is thinner than the pres
cnt standard he said. and lead
To- adulteration, and all in the inter
est of the breeders Of certain
kind OF cattle"
Senator n. n. Bonniwell of Hutch
inson said the bill would not help
Holstein breeders as the standard
would have To be reduced To 81 per
ceht to do them any good.
Senator Lende said the standard
had been previously reduced from 3h
TO 3h per cent and If this further
reduction were made the legislature
would be asked two years hence to
reduce it to 2ia per cent.
