he was suited for banking and wanted to make it his career while still able to change plans without the dislocation which would take place were he a high school graduate with the necessity of earning a living and taking care of a family Introduction of a school and work plan could perhaps have e terrific effect es well in combat ting growing tendency among to days adolescents to think of the work
