Excerpt from Getting a Living: A Vocational Civics ReaderThe various occupations have been described by people in close touch with them, and, in the main, so simply that the pupil can easily understand the descriptions given. Both interest and enthusiasm have been put into these stories by the busy people who have stopped to write about their own voca tions or avocations. And it is hoped that this may arouse a corresponding interest and enthusiasm in the boys and girls who read the stories, and help to draw them vocationally in the direction nature has indicated for them to go.It is not intended that the teacher should have the pupils study the occupations in the order given in this book. She may wish to take up first those occupations with which the children of her class are most familiar, or perhaps alternate those for boys with those primarily for girls. The children most interested in the occupation being studied or about to be studied will be eager to report to the class and may be able to bring in tools, pictures, and samples of materials. Trips for the purpose of observing some of the occupations should be arranged after the text has been studied.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
