Excerpt from Proceedings of the Second National Conference on Vocational Guidance: New York, October 23 to 26, 1912, Under the Auspices of the Central Committee Vocational Guidance Chamber of Commerce of Boston. A number of addresses were delivered by educators, business men, publicists and special students of the problems. NO record was made of the meeting, and the discussion was largely devoted to the statement of conditions that )ointed to the need for vocational guidance. The second conference, of which this book is a report, was organ ized by the officers of The Central Committee on Vocational Guidance of New York City, with the assistance of the Conference Committee. As no provision had been made for financing the conference adequately, the stenographic notes and the printing of the proceedings were under taken by myself in the belief that the record would have permanent value, if only of a historic kind. Already there have been inquiries in regard to the first volume of proceedings; but there is no first volume. The history of the vocational guidance movement in this country between 1910 and 1912 is summarized in the addresses here printed; what went before 1910 is recorded in scattered writings.
