REQUIREMENTS OF THE PRINCIPAL VOCATIONS
NOTE.—In the following lists the principal physical, intellectual, emotional and volitional qualifications needful for success in a number of representative vocations are given. The list of vocations is general, not detailed, and is by no means exhaustive. The qualifications suggested are also somewhat general in their nature. The list, therefore, is a valuable guide to the general vocation for which an individual may be fitted, but should be supplemented with much more detailed and specific analysis in order to determine his exact place in that vocation. We have used the words "Activity" and "Inactivity" in listing physical requirements. These refer to the man of bone and muscle, in the first case; to the physically frail or the fat man, in the second.

The Job, the Man, the Boss by Katherine M.H. Blackford, M.D. and Arthur Newcomb
The book is scientific, because it is organized knowledge based upon verified facts.
It is practical, because it has grown out of fifteen years' experience in advising young men and young women in the choice of their vocations; counseling employers in choosing, placing, handling and training employes; investigating industrial and commercial institutions for the purpose of professional advice upon efficiency in general and increasing the efficiency of employes in particular; in the installation, operation, and supervision of employment departments under the Blackford Employment Plan.
It is definite, because it recounts in detail the operation of this Plan, reproducing all forms and blanks used.
It is clear, because the story is simply told and illustrated with many reproductions of photographs.
Are you an Employer?
You will find here, fully explained, the scientific basis of employment—the fundamental principles upon which an efficient working force is organized. These are not mere theories but are the same principles upon which all successful employers and managers have built.
Here is a plan, too, fully tested in practice, and now in use by many firms.
Every phase of the relationship between employer and employe is treated from the standpoint of sound theory and successful practice. These include analysing the job and the man, choosing executives, the art of handling men, and educating employes.
Are you an Employee?
You want a reliable basis for the analysis of your job, yourself, and your boss.
You want to know whether you are the man for your job—and, if not, why not—and what is the remedy.
You want to know why you don't get along with your boss—if you don't—and what is the right kind of boss for you.
Are you in Doubt about your Vocation?
You will find here much that will be helpful to you in solving the problem.
Are you a Parent, a Teacher, a Social Worker?
This book analyzes clearly the Vocational Problem, and suggests a practical and effective solution.
Are you a Student of Human Nature?
The Job, The Man, The Boss contains much new material, the result of recent research and experimentation, NEVER BEFORE PUBLISHED. This throws light upon some of the most important phases of the science of character analysis.
"A timely book is this volume of the Newcombs. It has been waited for by students of management, who have recognized the need of all possible help in placing the right man in the right job. . . . It is so rich in suggestion that mere reading, let alone study of the book, is highly profitable and not without its conviction that the authors have more than an academic knowledge of the selection and placing of men in work and that gradually we shall be evolving a science in analyzing 'human capabilities so far as anything exact is possible in this realm."—Iron Age, July 2, 1914.
There is something—perhaps many things—of vital importance to you in this book.
Price, bound in cloth, postpaid, $1.75.
