Confidential Advice.
Every teacher in the FL Paso high
school is held responsible as confiden-
tial advisor for a certain number OF
pupils, probably those pupils who sit
in his room. His duty. in cooperation
with the pupils parents, is to direct,
advise and encourage these young peO-
pie. with a view to discovering their
wishes and inClinatiOns for the future.
Detailed records of each pupils ten
denotes and abilities will be passed
from that teacher to the one who has
charge OF the pupil the next term, so
that close account Of the pupils ad-
vancement and retardatton may be
kept Frequent consultations with room
teacher, parent principal, and voca-
tiOnal advisor are advised all through
the high school course.
Reading For a Purpose.
A very important part in vocational
guidance as planned in the FL PasO
high school, lies with the English de-
partmeut, although the same idea might
be carried out in other departments.
This outline of work in English is
largely based on the work in Grand
Rapids high school where it has been
very successful. In the four years Of
composition, oral and written, the work
Of the first two years is directed to-
wards study of local and general con-
ditions and study of the pupil him
self and his environment with a view
to revealing him to himself and help
ing him to choose his life's work.
In the third and fourth year, the oral
and written composition is planned with
the endeavor to establish ideals and
ethical values in the real life Of the
pupils selection. For instance, for a
boy who finds Scott a bore and who
says the study Of Emerson, Kipling and
Browning doesn't get him anywhere"
butwho has engineering or journalistic
tendencies, we substitute for the de-
spised poets such reading as the Life
OF Edison, T. A. c. Sloane's How to Be
come a Successful Electrician, Jacob
Riis's Making of an American, Hamil-
ton Hollis Commercialism and Journal
ISM Theodore Roosevelts Applied Eth
les, etc
The pupils compositions will deal
with such questions as: (1st year,
Hunting a job" Purpose: To show
the experience Of some one who has
tried. I'D year, What vocations my
experience and my reading have taught
me am not fitted for, and why? sd

gresham X d. Mcclellan of Memphis

to the siowness of the count or lack of
