1928. Bernays, regarded by many as the father of public relations, has compiled a collection of essays that place in the hands of the youth of this country information concerning all phases of professional and industrial life, so that they may choose their careers with a broad as well as detailed understanding of what each branch of activity may hold in store for them. The authors have tried to present such accurate information that the young men and women who read this book will be impelled to select their occupation on a basis of its suitability to them, in terms of scholastic training, length of the apprenticeship, personal predilections, and opportunities for monetary and honorary rewards. A partial list of the Contributors includes: A.C. Ernst on Accountancy; John Hays Hammond on Engineering; Julius Henry Cohen on Law; Edward Walter Eberle on Military-Navy; Jesse L. Lasky on Motion Pictures; Edward L. Bernays on Public Relations; Vernon Kellogg on Scientific Research; and Mary Roberts Rinehart on Writing.
