Abstract
A ‘VOCATIONAL GUIDANCE’ pamphlet has been issued by the University College of the South-West of England, Exeter, for the use of parents and others. It gives a list of the various college courses with particulars of their duration and the fees payable for them, a list of vocations (other than teaching) for which the courses offer suitable preparation, and a list of other vocations. The attention of parents is directed to the fact that in some cases the course of study is of one year's duration only and entails no long or expensive training. Accompanying the pamphlet is a leaflet directing attention to the increased demand for scientific investigators both for routine and research duties, to the importance for entry into commerce or industry of good qualifications in modern languages and economics, and to a new course for a diploma in public administration. This diploma will, it is anticipated, be a valuable qualification for higher posts in the national and local government services.
