Vocational Plan Inaugurated "A definite vocational guidance program should be an aim in our school." says Ruth Ann Wilson, dean of girls. . Miss Wilson is now having personal conferences with this year's graduat ing senior girls concerning their fu ture plans und chosen vocations. "An ideal program," she said, "would begin with the entering classes, and would require the co operation of all departments of the school. Those ,not able to decide on a vocation, and those with a goal in view would be .directed to special reading matter to further help tbern in deciding their careers." The slogoyi of the Vocational Guidance associations today is "Vo cational Self Guidance" and not the old method of "diagnosing" the "knowledge bumps" on a student's head and naming a profession that might be entirely opposite to the in dividual's personal qualities. According to Miss Wilson,, per sonal records of the students would be placed on file in the office as soon as the students entered school and .kept up to date until the time of graduation. "In this way," the dean of girls stated, "the 'personal' as well as 'scholostic' records of the students could be sent to the employer or college which requested recommenda tions or qualifications," "Print Phone 2700 Wednesday, The 3rd Day in Hundreds of Pretty Printed Wash Frocks Printed Linene Frocks $4.95 Linens frocks of gay prints In flower, fruit and modernistic designs trimmed with plain colors.

But I have un intuitive feeling that while some of the American people are interested in Geneva all the time, and ull of them some of the time, almost all of them are interested in the doings of Paris, the capital of Europe, nil the time. So. resisting the inclination to tell something in my humble way about Geneva, the Alps. Mont Blanc, etc., I confine this letter to Paris. Arriving at 6 o'clock Saturday morning.

Napoleon's tomb, the Louvre, where the picture of Mona Lisa smiles sublimely at even hurried spectators In the world's greatest art gallery, the home of the early statut of Venus De Milo.
