Aid Planned
For Graduates
Of Hi Schools

Out of Dallas, Texas, comes a
worthwhile idea that deserves nation
al emulation. The manager of Dali
las chain store read an article in
Readers Digest which dealt with a
survey indicating that three out of
four high school seniors did not plan
to go to college, but expected, instead
to look for jobs. He suggested to
other chain store managers that each
of them spend an hour a week talking
with boys and girls in search of work.
The managers agreed. Local school
authorities eagerly cooperated. A
hundred Dallas young people called
on the chain store managers the first
week, and hundreds more have fol-
lowed. Parents and teachers have
soundly praised this forward-looking
program.
It is an interesting fact that the
chain store managers represented al
most every kind of retail business
shoes, food, hats, drugs, auto equip
ment, five-and-ten, department stores
etc. So the students were able to OBJ
tain information and advice concern
ing the kind of merchandising job in
which each was most interested.
It is particularly fitting that large
retail business should take the lead in
this. The modern chain store re-
quires men and women with every
variety of natural aptitude. It Of
fers unusually good opportunities to
the beginner, in that many of the
jobs require no previous experience.
The history of the chain industry
shows that the overwhelming major
ity of its executives began in the
lowliest positions and worked up.
Today thousands of young men and
women are confused about starting
their careers. The Dallas chain store
managers plan represents the finest
kind of service to the nation.
