ownership and its outcomes in that country. In 1907, he submitted plans for a Vocation Bureau which would be open not only to the members of the Civic Service House where he volunteered, but to all who wished to come for help in their life-work problems. Parsons also served as dean of the extension division of Ruskin College in Trenton, Missouri. Death and legacy Frank Parsons died September 26, 1908, in Boston, Massachusetts. He was 53 years old at the time of his death. A memorial service in Parsons' honor was held October 25, 1908, at the People's Church in Washington, D.C. In the eulogy by Rev. Alexander Kent, Parson's was remembered as a consistent analyst striving to advance the general weal: There were few men whose ability was so completely devoted to the public good.... The problem of human betterment was always uppermost in his thought. He was continually at work tracing the evils from which men suffer to their source, and showing how they might be avoided or at least greatly lessened. He was a consistent opponent of that individualism which pits men against each other in the struggle for existence, and an earnest advocate of that individuality that fits men for useful membership in the social body, and so draws them together in mutual fellowship and service. Parsons' papers are housed at Yale University Library in New Haven, Connecticut. The posthumous publication in 1911 of Parson's manuscript, Choosing a Vocation, and its so-called "talent-matching approach" proved to be massively influential with a generation of educationalists. Parson's book remains regarded as a classic in the field and Parsons is still in the 21st Century remembered as "the founder of the vocational guidance movement." Works The World's Best Books.
