"This volume combines material often taught in course in mental hygiene, personality, methods of study, vocational selection, personal efficiency, marriage, and orientation to college, and it includes other material needed by students as indicated by studies which have been made. The chapters are largely independent of one another. The instructor may omit or rearrange chapters to meet the needs of his course. This book has retained the purpose, style, and general organization of the exclusive edition, but it has been brought up to date in terms of the newer trends and expansion in the journal literature."
