The original plans called for a single bulletin to be published in loose leaf form, which would allow for constant revision. But as work on the guide progressed, it became evident that if all fifteen occupational areas were developed fully enough to meet the needs of the teacher, a single edition would be impossible. So it was decided that the material would be published in four parts: Part I contains an Overview Unit, an Introduction Unit, and units on Business and Office Occupations (SectionA), Marketing and DistributionOccupations (SectionB), and Communication and Media Occupations (Section C). Part Two willinclude units on Construction Occupations (Section D), Manufacturing Occupations (Section E), Transportation Occupations (Section F), Agri-Business and Natural Resource Occupations (Section G), and Marine Science Occupations (Section H). Part Three will include units on Environmental Control Occupations (Section I), Public Service Occupations (Section J), Health Occupations (Section K), Hospitality and Recreation Occupations (Section L), and Personal Services Occupations (Section M). $ Part Four will include units on Fine Arts and Humanities Occupations (Section N), Consumer and Homemaking-Related Occupations (Section 0), Self-Analysis, and Evaluation. Parts Two, Three, and Four will be distributed as they come from the press.

The approximate 80 percent academic20 percent vocational curriculumis not meeting today's needs. These percentages need to be voluntarily reversed in all geographic areas and at all ability levels. This course calls attention to current needs and focuses interest on human activities rather than on materials and products. United States business leaders have proved their ability to organize and carry out procedures which bring successful results. Business leaders keep pace with the current tempo and
