CARNEGIE LIBRARY OF PITTSBURGH
CHOICE OF VOCATION
A SELECTED LIST OF
BOOKS AND MAGAZINE ARTICLES
FOR THE GUIDANCE OF STUDENTS
PITTSBURGH
CARNEGIE LIBRARY
1921

Preface
This bibliography has been compiled by the Reference De-
partment of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh at the request
of the Department of Vocational Guidance of the Pittsburgh
public schools. A tabulation of the first choice of occupations
made by Pittsburgh high school pupils last year seemed to
indicate, especially in the case of the girls, a need for a greater
knowledge of the variety of careers open to them. Existing
lists were either out of date, too brief, or not altogether adapted
to the purpose.
This bibliography is designed to furnish a list of books
and magazine articles in which boys and girls may find re-
liable information presented in an interesting form. In com-
piling it all available lists have been consulted, especially the
very full recent volume by Frederick J. Allen, "A Guide to
the Study of Occupations." Since most of the books referred
to give information about several occupations, repetition has
been avoided by arranging the material in two sections. One
gives an alphabetical list of occupations, indicating under each
the books and magazines in which information may be found.
The other lists alphabetically all the books referred to, with
a descriptive note about each. Each magazine article treats
of a single occupation and is therefore entered in full, with
the descriptive note, under the occupation.
The teacher or counselor who desires suggestions for mak-
ing the best use of the material gathered together here, is
referred to the abundant literature of vocational guidance.
One of the best bibliographies on that subject is one compiled
by J. M. Brewer and R. W. Kelly, under the title "A Selected
Critical Bibliography of Vocational Guidance." Other useful
books are Brewer's "Vocational Guidance Movement," Davis's
"Vocational and Moral Guidance," and Bloomfield's "Youth,
School and Vocation."
