Note 248 — Chapter XXV · EDUCATION
Reading edition
A proper system of vocational education involves three things: (a) a broad and practical foundation in elementary education of the ordinary type; (b) a study of the social and civic forces which control the life of the people; and (c) definite training in some particular vocation or trade. In order to help the pupil choose his life work more intelligently, many schools have made provision for vocational guidance. A vocational director or counsellor studies the special aptitudes and abilities of each pupil, points out what opportunities are open, and advises as to the best means of training for the work selected.
