SET A LIFE COAL
Every Student Should Have a
Definite Aim.
Jesse B. Davis Addresses
Teachers at Lawrence.

Lawrence, Kan. March 1S.-Stimu-
lation OF a definite aim in life for
each pupil and the nursing and de-
veloping of that aim through proper
study and environment was set up
today by Jesse b. Davis. of Grand
Rapids, Michigan, president OF the Ma
tional Vocational Guidance assocla-
ton. in an address at the University
o. Kansas as TO the proper work OF
our public schools. Mr.. Davis out
lined plan for carrying out his
theory.
We have in the past failed to in
spire our youth with the necessity for
a definite aim in life" said he we
have held at the ideal of education as
a means to a professional career. and
have ignored the fact that the right
sort of study in preparation for other
careers is just as worthy and just as
necessary for those designated by high
sounding titles"
Mr.. Davis declared every large
school system should have its depart
ment of vocational guidance under di-
rection of a wise and sympathetic
counsellor and the course of study
should be shaped to fit each case
For instance" said Mr.. Davis, in
a class in European history, the boy
who is planning to become an archi-
tect may prepare for his research
work. by use of the library and note
book. a history of architecture during
the girl who hopes to become a musi
clan can prepare a history of music.
The ambitious designer may study the
history Of furniture design or mural
decoration or some other application
of his art. The would-be business
man may be interested in preparing
history of transportation, or possibly
the history of trade and barter with
the use Of money as a means of eX-
change.
Each pupil in making his special
report feels himself an authority in
his own field and he is not merely
reciting what all of the other pupils
are supposed to know merely for the
sake of informing the teacher OF the
fact that he has prepared the re-
CURED lesson New interest and a
real application of life viii be found
among the many beneficial results of
the application of this principle.
In the same manner the teacher
fully alive to the possibility of this
plan VIII apply the principles sug-
geSted to foreign language, science or
whatever subject he may be teaching
The school adopting these ideas soon
viii find the spirit of the plan Will
work into the social activities and or
carnations of student life so that
every pupil will become impressed
with the idea Of purpose and aim in
his preparation for a life work
