Our boys : a study of the 245,000 sixteen, seventeen and eighteen year old employed boys of the state of New York . oys present and desired large correlation is easily explained when we recall that ninetypercent of the boys said they liked their present occupations.

It should be remembered, however, that most of these boyschange their occupations frequently and that this large correlationis, therefore, not at all indicative of the fact that a few monthslater they will be following these same occupations or will have adesire to follow them in the future. It is possible, however, thatwhen they change their occupations they change to some other occu-pation classified in the same group as their present should by no means be assumed that because there is such a largecorrelation shown between the present and desired occupations thatthese boys will finally follow or desire to follow occupations similarto their present ones. 226 Our Boys. —nxtvmm ?»*» £_««••? — — — — I ja|t«>l£ ?_ - -M ta*lM*»«i ; Illl1lllll1llllll !. i!
