out what this world is all about.
And that's a whole lot tougher
than it used to be, when you stop
to realize that the United States

jobs. Of course, they can only hope
to get a general idea as to what
these are all about. But after a
while this list ought to be boiled
down to the half dozen or so oc-

And these few occupations should
be studied forwards and back

subject of vocational guild

THE EDITOR
Dear Mother and Father:
This week We'll be marking
Mothers Day, or Parents Day, as
it's known. Your son and daugh-
ter will be bringing you flowers,
candy or some other little gift,
and you'll be happy to have this
extra bit of affection shown for
you. But the day also has another
purpose. 1t gives you chance to
think about your responsibilities
to your children. I'm interested in
your children too-very much so.
In fact, I'm making it my life
work. I'm interested in everything
about your children, but mainly
in their careers. So do you mind
if I draw up a chair and schmoos
a little while?
Your son will have to make a
lot of decisions as he grows up,
Just as you've had to make them.
But I don't know of any that'n be
more important to his future hap
piness than choosing the right
occupation. After he gets out OF
school, he'll be spending most of
his Job and he'll probably be mar
ried'' to it for practically the rest
of his life. And your daughter, too,
may work before she finds her man
