1760. Gayler, G. W. Vocational guidance in the high school. Psychological clinic, 9: 161-66, November 15, 1915.

From a study extending over a period of four years the writer found that a large percentage of adolescent boys and girls do not definitely decide upon th, ir life work until late in the high school course, perhaps often not until after the course is completed, and that a large percentage of these students vacillate, now choosing one thing and now another. In conclusion, he says "that there is a place in high school for vocational guidance. We ought to have more of it, but it should come in largely through the regular work and in many places, rather than in one place through one teacher teaching the particular subject. Every subject, every lesson has in it great possibilities. Every teacher is and must be a counselor and guide of youth."
