To Offer Vocational Guidance
Il is hoped the coming year to do
something along the line OF vocational
guidance in the upper grammar school
grades An attempt has been made
along this line in the high school, but
the work should begin earlier than
this as a large percentage Of pupils
never enter the high school II IL Is
not possible 10 nave someone IN cdC4

consult and advise with them along
vocational subjects, the plan might be
followed. OF each teacher asking th5'

pect to follow OF to prepare themselves
for This will keep the question be-.
fore the pupil and set himself and par
ents to thinking along this line, and
lead him TO analyZe himself as to what
vocation he is best fitted for. The
chances are strongly in favor OF his

his time on courses that he will have

the case. chan ging his course two or

Bill KLEIN cultivates two dis
tinct hobbies, not INDUCED in by
any other big league umpire. Tn
less he has his walking stick with
him, he doesn't figure he is dress

golf sticks, he wouldn't think of

When out for stroll, his
walking stick is as necessary to
Klem's proper enjoyment, as is a
leg to the ordinary man. Golf
has become a passion with him.
