a new movement; one calculated tc
eliminate waste of time: to economic
effort and to direct and assist the
youth of the race in choosing and fol-
lowing the right vocation in life

ST. Louis, Mo-, where it has been sue
eessfully tried by the Greek Letter
men in that city. Since its adoption
last Christmas at the conclave OF
these college men at Louisville, KY,
plans and programs have been ar

idea. According to Leon w. Stewart,
member OF st. Louis "Y" and secre-
tary of the commission, the move
ment primarily seeks to take the high
school students of the nation and
guide them right.
The first step to be taken by the
movement will be to help the youth
find themselves. Heretofore trial and
error methods caused a great deal
of loss of time and has resulted in a
misdirected effort. Says DR.. Peters:
Thousands of our youths have gone
into professions and studied them
without ever stopping to study the
most important of all, and that is the
qualities, characteristics and short
comings of himself and the conse-
quent relation of these to the success
of vocation chosen"
A questionnaire, called the self
Analysis Blank" prepared by this
commission, is designed to show char
acteristics, traits, interest and ambi-
tions of those looking forward to a
useful and successful career, as well
as indicating the education and train
ing necessary to attain this end.
