WHAT SHALL DO?

what shall I do?n is a question
which has always perplexed youth.
Many young men and women have
gono to college and studied hard
for some life career only to dis
cover too late they were not basil
cally fitted for it.
This week DR.. Edgar A. Holt,
dean of the college at the Uniyer-
sity OF Omaha, reported on the
first years operation of a pro-
gram for the analysis of student
aptitudes at the University of
Omaha, pronounced the program
Very satisfactory"
The University of Omaha apti-
tudes analysis is the result of the
latest efforts of progressive edu-
Gators and industrial engineers.
It is employed widely by indus
tries and is used in some colleges.
Unique among colleges in this
section, the University of Omaha
aptitudes program it intended to
show each student what life occu-
patton he is best suited for on the
basis of interests, abilities, and
personality.
I'VE have saved a goodly num-
Der of students from tragic ex-
perience," said the dean in his re-
port. 'The Several hundred stu
dents who took the inventories last
year prove that"
DR.. Holt said that a great many
students who though they wanted
to enter medicine, engineering, or
business have chosen other career
as a result of the aptitudes tests.
Recently a student who had
flunked out in premedical work at
another university came here to
take our aptitudes tests. They re-
vealed that he had much more
ability for engineering. Now he's
doing very good in our engineer
ing department.
"Some students who would like
to be engineers come to the Uni
versity with romantic ideas about
building great buildings and dams.
The tests show that many have
no such abilities, but they may
take the engineering courses any
way. However, a semester's work
in engineering courses usually
shows the tests to be right"
The dean says that more than
300 students have already taken
the aptitudes Inventories prepar-
atory to studying at the Univer-
sity of Omaha this fall.
The aptitudes program is also
being adopted by the University
of Illinois this fall A similar pro-
gram has been operating several
years at the Stevens Institute of
Technology at Hoboken, N. J.,
where a fee ranging from ten to
twenty dollars is charged.
At the University of Omaha,
the inventories are given free of
charge to all entering students.
The results of the aptitudes
tests are used by a counselling
committee to advise students on
the courses which fit in with their
career goal.

sides Dean Holt are Mrs. Mary
