A host of June graduates are com ing out again this year. Many of them "all dressed down"- and no where to go. Is it the fault of the host _ ot young high school and college graduates that they must enter life without a definite place i n which to land where they can be~gin at once to make their daily bread? We do not believe that it is their fault. As J?as been found by expert study and investigation, the vast majority have not been exposed to the services of a well directed guidance pro gram. They do not know, therefore, what occupations they have capacity for or interest im._ It must be admitted that the scarcity of vocational courses in our high schools and colleges provides an additional handicap 1 n - ' that. LhiiSM-Wv^---arnt~0rl? ~are not fully prepared to do anything well. t Thrs article is not a complaint. These words are not written to liscourage, but to call attention . to something that need emphasis in our program of education. The absence of guidance activi ties in the majority of our schools is not due to organized opposi tion, but rather to a lack of awareness of the need, and to weak teacher-training programs. Occupational possibilities and rvnployment opportunities must be made for our graduates. This is a problem. It is the crux o f the' situation as it confronts the Negro youth coming out of high school and college today. C. SpAULDING TO SPEAK AT S. C.. STATE COLLEGE BY J. I). McGee An address by C. C.
