The class in occupations is devOt-
ing considerable time to a practical
application Of the text. During the
past two weeks individual members
of the class have interviewed prefes-
sional and business men of the city,
These interviews have been reported
to the class and some very interesting
data has been secured. The subject
occupations as the term implies,
deals with the various occupations
open to the youth of today. It's pri-
mary purpose is to create an aim in
life; to enable the student to shape
his courses so as to best fit himself
for some occupation that he is suit
able for. The subject treats of the
various trades, Commercial and pro-
fessional occupations. It summarizes
in clear and concise manner the ad-
vantages, disadvantages, remunera-
ton, qualification and possibilities Of
each. 1t does not presume to single
out any one occupation as being an
object to strive for, but rather points
out the education, personal qualities
and general adaptability required for
each. Thus it clears up certain mis-
conceptions that may exist in regard
to many occupations and in the end
should help the student to choose an
occupation which will be suitable, in
