Like many of you in high school, or in junior or arts colleges, she wanted to know what part she could take in the work of the world. She wanted all the help she could get in choosing, training for, getting and holding the right job. In the General College of the University of Minnesota she found what she was looking for. She found here a staff of teachers who were as much interested in knowing and helping her as a student, as in knowing and teaching her their subject. She found trained psy- chologists and guidance people, and a Testing Bureau to give her diagnostic tests of her ability. She found adminis- trators who made all this ready to aid her. This picture unfolds the story of Ruth Hart and how she chose the job she could best do. The movie is planned, writ- ten, photographed and presented to you by students, interested themselves in becoming photographers, directors, script writers, and technicians. They made the film as their project in the course in Vocational Orientation in which Ruth Hart got her help. They did it by themselves without advice or interference from the faculty, except for some assistance on the commentary. In the course, as the film shows, Ruth Hart and her friends learned at last to think of jobs, not in terms of labels, but in terms of function, not what a job is called but what the man or woman who holds it has to do, what kind of ability and training he must have." After the above introduction by Dr. Malcolm S. MacLean, former Director of the General College, the film proceeds to show Ruth Hart's activities in the Vocational Orientation class sh Job to be done.

The jeweller, who set tiny stones so accurately, now makes fine gauges for manufacturing machine tools; the watchmaker during wartime still makes time pieces, but now they are fuses for anti-aircraft shells; a turner of slim and accurately balanced fishing rods does the same type of work for machine guns; fishermen make nets for camouflage; builders of luxury yachts build speed boats and tenders for the R.A.F. Even the man who made model trains as a pre-war hobby has turned in his spare time to making small parts of shells and bombs. Individual craftsmen in all fields have found a wartime use for their skills sh-c-trade-adult Twenty-four jobs. 24min 16-si-rent $2 1939 Gal 371.42 Produced by Mr Spencer Benbow of the Visual department of the Oakland public schools "Twenty-four typical jobs secured by high school graduates, based on a recent survey of positions obtained by 500 gradu- ates of Oakland High Schools.

The story emphasizes the possibilities of taking white-collar workers and retraining them for the industrial occupations made necessary by war demands. Details in this training program consisting of teach- ing procedures, steps of development, goals, and results are interestingly pre- sented. This is a timely picture containing information about a subject that is being carefully studied in America as well as in England. However, consideration should be given to the propaganda it promulgates. Because of its timeliness it would be good for auditorium use on current events or national defense programs. It would also be useful in social studies, economics, vocational guidance, industrial arts, and technical and vocational subjects in sec- ondary schools."
