VOCATIONAL ADVICE
It Includes a Call for Broad Culture
and Intelligence.

In the process OF fitting one s
self for any highly specialized vo-
cation there is one idea that does
not seofn to have been generally
advocated by the experts who
write books OH. How to Become
Something in Particular. " 1t is
a startling idea and we are inclin-
ed to view it with some skepticism.
1t is doubtful if it would occur
to most experts any more than it
would to the average layman. for
it seems violent contradiction to
the accepted laws of cause and
effect. The idea has been set forth
! in The Little Journal, which is a
modest technical periodical publi-
Shed by Arthur d. Little Inc, a
firm of chemical engineers, and
we take the liberty of quoting:
Please do not think that if you
study chemistry and just enough
physics or mathematics to see you
through it will make you pro-
fessional chemist. 1t only teaches
you the laboratory trade; makes
you chemical journeyman; a
substitute Indicator; a poor thing
at best. We shall not want you,
and we do not know anybody with
better than hackwork who does.
IF you want to be a chemist and
to enter the industrial field, please
bone up on the. English language
and literature, ON Greek literature
even if you miss the language, on
science history as well as you can;
on French and German, biology,
geology, economics, and elementary
psychology, along with your ma
tihematics and physics. We can
stand lot of faults in chemists,
but the Smart Aleck who is so
practical that he boasts of his ig-
norance is too much for us.
Now, we do not quite know
what to make of this. IIhere is

possibilities of people whose train
ing and experience may have qua
lifted them for something entirely
different from the line they are
following as a life work. There
is Miss Amy Lowell, for instance.
Although she has been pursuing
poetry with amazing diligence,
she may have been voicing the in
clination for which her education
has fitted her when she sang of
her desire to be a carpenter and
sit all day on the ridgpole mailing
shingles ON the roof.
OF course, this is only conjec-
tural application of the Little idea.
The literal working out of this
principles would probably bring
out some extraordinary examples.
Mr.. G.. X. Chestelton' talent for
paradox, perhaps, is only an in
dication of an educational qualifi-
cation for the balancing feats on
a ridgepole.
There is only one detail in Miss
Lowell's song of aspiration that
leads us to doubt whether her pre-
paratogy education for roof-shing-
ling was complete. In her obvious
expression of belief that the work
can be done in its entirety while
the shingler is sitting on the ridge
pole there is evidence Of some de-
ficienoy in her studies. Her
groundwork Of Greek art. ancient
history and analytical chemistry
may have been all that could be
desired, but if she thinks every
corner Of the roof can be ham
,nlered from the ridgepole we
should say that she had omitted
some necessary study of biology,
psychology and the Romance lam
guages. Shingling a roof is an
occupation chat has certain ele-
ment Of personal risk and it should
not be undertaken by those whose

nical preparation, and we have to
believe in the sincerity Of the de
claration. Yet, if this principle
is. right in a training for chelnis-
try, which is about the most high

it surely ought to apply quite as
forcefully to all other vocations.

guess that he should go in strong

OF course, The little Journal

choice between frying the family pin

their animals. This assistance is rem
dered free in associations whose MEM
bers request it and who will cooperate
with the bureau of animal industry in
maintaining healthy herds.
In several cow-testing and bull asso-
Citations the members have already ac-
cepted federal assistance and report
good results. Practically all members
submit their herds to the necessary
tests and in this way start tuberculo-
sis-free communities, which are ex-
pected eventually to grow to coun-
ties, then to states, and finally the en-
tire United States may be freed from
bovine tuberculosis.
Accredited Herd Lists Stimulate Sales.
Accredited herd lists will be issued
at suitable intervals. These lists con-
tain the names and addresses of the
owners, and statement of the breed
of cattle maintained by those owners
whose herds are found to be free from
tuberculosis.
Already approximately $4,000 copies
of the first list have been distributed
among breeders, state officials extern
sion men, breed associations, and 9TH
ers. Breeders whose names appear
on this list state that as a result they
have received numerous inquiries from
prospective purchasers, some buyers
even desiring to purchase the entire
herd.
Certain communities have become
unfavorably conspicuous for the large
number of tuberculous cattle found in
them, and purchasers of cattle both
for breeding and slaughtering purposes
are stunning those sections. On the
other hand, when sections become
noted for their healthy cattle, buyers
obviously will seek animals from the
breeders in such tuberculosis-free To-
calities.
