WORK ON FARM FOR ONE YEAR STUDENTS TOLD Suggestions and Criticism Heaped on New College Graduates. By United Press NEWARK, N. J., June 5.—A bewildering array of criticism and suggestion was offered today by the country’s leading industrialists to some 134,000 young men and women graduating from colleges and universities this month. The suggestions, ranging from a year of farm work for each ablebodied graduate to a period of house-to-house selling to build up self confidence, were disclosed as a prelude to what will be thrashed out at the first choosing-a-career conferenec here on June 26. The nationwide survey conducted by George Bijour, conference director, disclosed almost as many opinions as replies. Some employers preferred college men; some did not. >Some thought the average graduate "too cocky”; others that he lacked self-confidence. Clearing House Suggested The compulsory farming suggestion came from August Heckscher, New York philanthropist. Will Hays, “czar” of the motion picture industry which maintains a casting bureau for the selection of “type” actors, favored a similar clearing house for the listing of students according to their capabilities. Edward G. Seubert, oil company executive, recommended that those who can not find jobs should make them by inventing anew idea that will sell. Lincoln Filene, Boston merchant, shoved the placement burden on the colleges themselves “so the young people won’t try to find places in already crowded fields.” Mental employment so as to get “the ' under-dog experience and point of view” was favored by J. S. Douglas, mining company executive. Nellie Taylor Ross, former Governor of Wyoming and now director of the mint, advised “scrutinizing interesting fields to find those ? not overcrowded.” Some other opinions included: George B. Chandler, Ohio Chamber of Commerce: Use friends for influence in getting a job. Other Suggestions Made Nicholas M. Schenck, motion picture executive: Students should write articles dealing with industry to call attention to knowledge of the problems at hand. E. M. Allen, chemical manufacturer: Many employers hesitate to employ graduates of certain colleges . . . because of the “dangerous and radical theories planted in their minds. ...” A. Wineburgh. manufacturer: Every young man should learn shorthand. J. Bulova, watch manufacturer: Compulsory for every growing child to take a manual training course. Daniel Willard, railroad president: My sympathies . . . lean in the direction of the young man without . . . college education. Chester Barnard, telephone company official: The young man should guard against having his father get a job for him. G. F. Swift, packer: Industry needs exceptional ability wherever it can be found. George E. Parker, pen manufacturer: A considerable number of young college people feel they are equipped in a manner superior to the average run of humanity. James Wright, C. R. Kinney & Cos.: Education has lifted many! young people above the job level 1 they can attain when graduating. INDIANA STAMP CLUB TO INSTALL OFFICERS Dr. F. Tulley Hallam Elected President of Group.
