yean ago college train ing- was for the well todo and the career conscious and not for the avenge vocation seeking indhrklual he stated now he revealed stud exits are not going to college for a general eracatlanbut rather to fit themselves for a specific vocation and they are given a much wider range of subjects to choose from in the last census there were 667 different types of occupations listed and colleges now offer courses leading to de grees to 4b8 of these in canada too the trend is toward vocational training for many sears the professions were held ni unduly high esteem parents used to decide that they wanted their son to be a doctor or a lawyer regardless of his aptitude or qualifications for that profession but they are learn tog that to force a boy to do what bis record indicates he is not fitted lor is to invite tragedy now the most ambitious parents are finding it is wiser to accept tbelr child and his limitations as be is they are realia tog that the greatest success comes when a person chooses as his life work that field of endeavour 4n which the talents with which he is endow ed are given greatest scope tor growth and development then too each year young people through the radio and news papers are becoming better informed regarding setup of industry and the trades and crafts open to them they learn of opportunities in the field of radio technique aeronautics dietetics designing drafting weld tog sheetmetal work horticulture agriculture merchandising advertising mad doaens of other vocations gradually too boys and girls are grow tng more independent of their parent s direction and advice and prob ably freer to follow where their interest lies for these various reasons more and more students each year are attending the vocational and technical schools located tn all large cen ties throughout the dominion graduating classes from such schools in centres where there is a demand for skilled labour have already been almost entirely absorbed by local industry tn many cent where war industries are located these schools are being kept open all summer for training of students within the limits of the dominion provincial youth training plan and these students wftl have jobs waiting for them when this intensive shortcourse training is completed vocational training is based on the idea that boys and girls should be trained to do what they can do best and results already show they re happiest when doing work that appeals to them during the depre years it was quite evident that the young men and women who were trained in one of the crafts or trades were better able to find work and better able to adapt themselves to changed conditions than were those who received only a general high school education this is a mechanical and industrial age and our most promising ed ncationauste are leading the way tn recommending vocational training to large numbers of our boys and girls who natural talents point that way r t t t war

the greatest crisis in its long his tory there is no time now for long range planning we can no longer stop to count the cost the enemy with all its devastating force is on the march and must be met at once with all the skill all the resources all the courage we possess if we are to prevent hitler from winning the war before the year is out tt has htnn annmtn that hbtui offered t furnish yjusl

three can adian divisions as well as on aeroplanes and munitions construction of 300 tanks in canada has already been started so canadian women may yet be asked to don overalls and help step up our war industries every loyal citizen is being asked to help according to his means finance canada s share in the war by buying war saving certificates or stamps these went on sale may 27th but owing to the dramatic news from the front and the number of other plans advanced for raising money for war supplies the war saving certificates did not get the attention from the public they deserved a most urgent appeal is being made by the red cross for woollen blankets for immediate shipment to france blankets new or as good as new are desperately needed for the wounded soldiers and for the mil nans of refugees many ot whom were injured or half starved when they threw themselves on the mercy of prance already burdened with such urgent problems of her own surely out of our abundance each of us can donate one blanket or more send them to your local red cross when hitler began his invasion of belgium and france the can adian red cross had great warehouses filled to overflowing with supplies of au kinds but these are being very rapidly used up the british red cross suffered severe losses in flanders we have already made them generous donations of supplies and money but further subtantial help is seeded to care for the large numbers of wounded evacuated from dun kirk and also the casualties in the present battle of the somme an ap peal has been made for 50 ambulances to replace those lost so prompt baa been the response of canadians that already three quarters of the number requested have been provided by individuals or organizations the red cross offers every one anxious to bring comfort to the 111 or wounded an opportunity to be of practical and immediate assistance the next problem facing canadian women is that of giving hospital ity to refugee children evacuated from england and probably france let us welcome them in whatever numbers the mother country cares to send them to us the authorities are anxious that they will all be given a place in private homes rather than institutions if you can accomodate one or more write to the canadian national committee on refugees 31 dundas square toronto offering your aid in looking after these young victims of war if you
