Young people try to make their way in the world at dccupations for which they have no natural talent They can never j [make a real success in such fields. whereas they might have been very successful in other occupationss. Educators and pbsycologists have ieveloped highly accurate methods [)f testing the aptitudes atf boys and ?iiis, an0 "when their advice is followed thoise who accept it are likely to find their life- work not only 'satis Eying but remunerative. Those who io not receive or accept such guidance often find themselves in the position of square pegs trying to fill round holes, which can't he dcfae. Much of the blame for the world's j unhappy square pegs "can he laid to Jie doorii ctf parents, whose ambitions do not take any degree of account of the childcapabilities, or lack cH them. Many" a fir&b-rate ar tisan or engineer has been spoiled to nake a second rate doctor or lawyer. HALS careers In recent tests of high school pupils in several cities, t (determine heir aptitudes, the girls were found 0 be much more realistic than the )oys in picking the lines of enreav>r which they were anxious to pur hie. They were far more clearly iware of their particular personal iptitudes. Half of the boys who had ambiions to take up law and medicine vere fopn^d to have little or no aptiude for those professions. Nearly til of them showed more aptitude or mechanical trades or occupations Hore than ha!? of the high school mpils who expressed the desire to fd*ta' bbtffrg'B. we#| found^to lack the [ualities which a college education s supposed to develop. That accounts, the examiner said, 'or the fact that from a third to a lalf of the boys who do enter colege fail to complete their courses. The girls seem to be less "highlat " than the boys in scorning occu )sjtions which call foT physical labor. They do not insist on 1 'white collar'' areers as so many of the boys do.

The chief difficulty in trying to nake such a sharp division of parties s the question of what foaiAier the onservative coalition will fly.

A good vocabu- j lary, free from slang, will carry a \ young person a long way. Neidt comes f a pleasant voice, a goodj natured j smile, a not. too boisterous sense of c humor, a courteous manner, good c taste in clothes, which does not necessarily mean dresising in the height ^ of fashion, personal neatness, attentiveness, a goojtf memory, an even tomper, and a lively but not imper- ^ tinent curiosity about everything. * iir<4-Vi TrJllinrmoda 'L/'OlIl OHl(J 1/UUlO VT 1VI1 TT 1J1III^I1\.UU to give the best you have to whatever job you have, and the desire td do your work better each day than the ^ day before, and otie is bound to go ^ a long way. 1 Those are the tools df success that * any boy nr girl can have for the ask- ^ ing. 1 Thdse are the tools of success that c every boy and girl can have for the ^ asking. They will open unexpected ^ doors to those who carry them. k MUSIC .... Negro sofurces 1 The greatest contribution which ( the Negro race has made to modern culture is in music. A very high pro- t portion of modern unusic was either 1 composed by Negro musicians or de- 1 rived from Negro sources. Anton t Dvorak, the greatest European com- t poser, based his "New Worl/d Sym ? phony" on American Negroes' folksongs and "spirituals". ] It fs not surprising to me thai j , the music composition which has been adopted as the "theme song" I for the great World's Fair of 19311 is the work of a Negro composer, j Every American musician of import- ] j ance was invited to take part in the ( ' contest. Each offering submitted was > recoijdhd on a phonograph record by ! an orchestra. Then the recafrds were ( fp}ayed before a jury of composers j and critics, who did not know the identities oif the contestants. ] j A six minute symphony by William i Grant Still, a JNegro, was pi wucau* i ] the unanimous choice. It is described , as a "tone poem", and it will be played more than 50,000 times in the ] course of the World's Fair. If the ] Negro race has no other represents- j tion Ithan that in the presentation of ? the '.Wctrld of Tomorrow" it will ^ have conributed a large share indeed : to the entertainment of the visitors from all the world. , *" \> ' r .
