The Urban League and the Vocational Guidance and Adjustment of Negro Youth

There is an increasing need to use the processes of community organization for the improvement of programs of vocational guidance and adjustment affecting all of the community's youth. The central purpose of the larger work from which this report is abstracted was to urge the utilization of these processes in the interest of minority youth. The need becomes particularly crucial with the realization that community organization processes facilitate cooperative effort between such major contributing agencies as the school and the social agency. Thus a further delimitation of the concern, to give momentum to this cooperative effort as it relates to this specific facet of the educative process. In relation to both the method of community organization and the objective of improved planning and programming for vocational guidance services cognizant, of the needs of minority youth, the work of a single agency, the National Urban League, commends itself to both the professional educator and the professional social worker. This observation is significant in light of attributes of the League's program-use of social work methods, respect for vocational guidance as a technical competency, and a commitment to supplementing community agencies having prior responsibility for the vocational guidance function. Study of the Urban League's program as it relates to vocational guidance has involved a review of relevant administrative pronouncements, questionnaire data reflecting its cooperative work with the school within the context of community planning, and visitation of communities in which programs of action were under way. Critical examination and appraisal of League activity entails two important considerations: (1) a definitive statement of the vocational guidance function, and (2) acquisition of understandings basic to an operational program tied to the community and purporting to supplement the work of agencies having prior responsibility. The essential elements in an adequate program have been delineated and given authoritative endorsement by the National Vocational Guidance Association. This well-known analysis includes the following services: occupational information, self-inventory and personal data collecting, vocational counseling, vocational preparatory, placement, follow-up and adjustment. Acceptance of this frame of reference permits a point of view of vocational guidance in terms of (1) specific services, and (2) the more functional conception implicit in the term process.

Occupational Information in Counseling: Present Practices and Historical Development

The need for a scientific approach to the collection and dissemination of occupational information has probably never been more acute. The extensive development of personnel programs in schools, industry, and community agencies points to a parallel need for a thorough understanding of the background and growth of techniques in occupational information and research.This report was prepared by two members of the National Vocational Guidance Association who have long been active in the practical aspects of an occupational research program. Counselors of young people and adults and instructors in schools of education will find this material very helpful. It represents the culmination of a number of years of intensive study stimulated by the executive committee of the Occupational Research Division of the National Vocational Guidance Association which, in 1943, was asked for similar materials for use in Latin American countries.This committee, composed of: Margaret E. Bennett, Florence E. Clark, Mary P. Corre, Mary J. Drucker, Forrest H. Kirkpatrick, Robert Hoppock, Cleo Murtland, William F. Patterson, Lester J. Schloerb, Carroll L. Shartle, Marion R. Trabue, and Marguerite W. Zapoleon, Chairman, also reviewed the manuscript and their suggestions together with those of Fred C. Smith, Chairman of the Publications Committee, members of the Editorial Board of OCCUPATIONS, and a number of others, were used in the revision here published.—M. R. TRABUE, President, NVGA; LESTER J. SCHLOERB, Chairman, Occupational Research Division

Shortage of Pharmacists

[Aware of the acute shortage of registered pharmacists, a group from the pharmaceutical profession and drug trades approached Edward L. Bernays, Counsel on Public Relations, for recommendations on how to overcome the difficulty. Mr. Bernays and his staff made an objective survey and submitted their findings in a 1,200‐page report. The survey was based on published material available, correspondence with thousands in the industry and the profession, personal interviews with representatives of important groups, and with key men.Those recommendations from the report which are of special significance to vocational counselors are given here. They are excerpts from a paper read by Mr. Bernays at a meeting of the American Pharmaceutical Association, Columbus, Ohio, and published in The New York State Pharmacist, October, 1943. You will note that among the recommendations is the suggestion that a study of pharmacy as a career be made by the National Vocational Guidance Association.—Ed.]
