They eat too fast, eat indigestable things, wash it down at a soda fountain and dash back to work. He goes on to say: "At night we rush home under crowded conditions. Not enbugh ex- ercice and hurried and overeating are causing increased heart and kid- ney diseases." 5 Highly prepared and predigested foods plus a heavy meat diet, catise , poor teeth, said Dr. Upham. No meit is good, and Americans gradu- ally should eliminate §t from the diet, he said. Chicken and fish are ds bad as meat, with their. high pro- teins. White bread lacks salts and vitamins and causes starvation of things necessary to body building. There remains hope, however, ac- t cording to Dr. Burrett. "From the very beginning the in- dividual must be taught to realize his is a body without spare parts. He must be educated to care for his body machine if he wants to enjoy the seven to twelve - extra years which scientific medicine truthfully holds out to him." INDUSTRIAL MISFITS. Along with the call for vocational training, a point over which can be Mound small cause of dispute, comes recognition of the desirability of placing the youth of the country in the employment that best suits each individual. - Teachers are in- creasingly encouraged and expected to note natural tendencies and at- titudes as these are revealed in thelr pupils and to be ready with advice when the time comes for the selection of some particular kind of lite and work. Much can be gained, says the St. Thomas Times-Journal, when the way is early pointed to- wards what is likely to'result in success. But inclinations expressed before the age of adolescence are usually found to be evanescent in character, The boy who dreams of becoming a policeman or a steeple jack, and the girl of corresponding years who hesitates between the role of a movie picture star or a social secretary, for the most part lose these aspirations. They repre- sent no more than a passing phase of immaturity. Again and not in- frequently the youthful mind is at- Firacted by some feature of an occun- patign that holds special allure ment. Office work, for example, may attract by its assumed gentility and the prospect it holds of smart- er dressing or holidays with pay. Such considerations play their part in young peopl®s preferences, hence the value of certain important sta- tistical information collected by the New York City Vocational Guidance and Employment Service for Jun- ors. In two New York schools 500 boy pupils in the seventh and eighth grades were questioned as to the work they would 1ik® to do. Pro- fessional service was by 204. This group included, with others, doctors, 64; lawyers, 44; designers, 84; chemists and artists, 18. Trade attracted 14 boys, while 29 wished to be proprietors of stores. Forty-six wanted to become salesmen, and 32 wanted to be pharmacists. The third largest group was the 104 who wish- ed to enter mechanical industries. Printing appealed to 12; and 3% chose the building trades. Clerical occupations were selected by 69, ot whom 43 wished to become account ants, 17 clerks and 9 stenographers. Only in rare cases was it found that the son's choloe of work was affect- ed by the father's occupation. 'any predilaction of the son to follow his father's calling is impaired in many cases by determination on the | part of the parent to see that the child improves his geondition. The prejudlice supposed to exist against, the white collar occupations was no revealed by the inquiry. 3 Some mothers are credited with | the desire to keep their daughters r to 'cook in order they may not enter domestic For |. success is favorable to larger de- velopment and eventual satisfaction. Yet in spite of all the satisfaction, it remains difficult to prevent what experience has tanght is the worst thing for all workérs--the industrial misfit. + EDITORIAL NOTES.
