To the Editor of the Crimson:

I am grateful for your article in Friday's issue calling attention to the vocational information and testing program at Phillips Brooks House, but there were two important points in the information I gave to your reporter which seem to have been overlooked in the re-writing process.

I was particularly anxious to indicate that the tests are an incidental phase of a program designed principally to give information on vocational opportunities, and to point out also that the testing is purely a Brooks House experiment, there being no charge and certainly no guarantee of a resulting vocational prescription. Help may be, given in making plans, but categorical advice will be avoided. (One is reminded of the small boy's essay on Socrates which read: "Socrates was a Greek. Socrates went about giving people advice. The people poisoned Socrates.") Your reporter's selection of nine slightly "screwy" questions from an instrument containing 391 more pertinent items is a good device for catching interest, but I think it may have given an unduly bizarre impression of a testing mechanism which is widely known, used, and respected. John L. Steele,   Student Counselor for Vocational Information.
