"Sections I to IX of A Guide to the Study of Occupations deal 

 with the nine great groups of occupations which have been deter- 

 mined by the Federal Census. In each section are presented the 

 vocations which are most common, most fully treated in voca- 

 tional literature, and offer the largest number of employment 

 opportunities for young people. These vocations are of chief 

 interest to life-career classes in the schools and to all who are 

 seeking occupational information."
