ANNUAL R=UPORT OF THs TEACHERS APPOINTWENT BURTAU September 1, 1941 to August 31, 1942 - FORBUARD = For a number of years it has been the practice of the Teachers Appoint= ment Bureau to issue an annual report covering in considerable detail the work done during the yeare The date for such a report have been collegted for the past appointment season and are on file in the secretary's officee Because of curteiled income, reduction in clericel Help, and the necessity for the strictest economy it hes seemed unvise to undertake the preparation and distribution of a fifty page mimeographed reporte In lieu of such a stetement the following brief summary of the activities of the bureau is submittede Any who ere interested in more complete facts relative to any phese of our work dre cordially invited to consult the secretary at any times RUGIS TRATION OF CANDIDATSS During the past year we hed 748 registrants. This is a decrease of 95 or 11% from the figure of 841 for last year. It is 17.58% less than the ban- ner enrollment of 911 in 1939=40. Of the 748 registrants 128 were enrolled for the first time, 140 renewed previous registrations, and 480 were carried over from the previous year because the period for which they had paid their fee had not expired. Up to September 1 of the current year 519 of these have been withdrarn for failure to renew registrations. “e now have 429 per- sons on our list to be cerried over to the coming appointment year. Of these 397 are experienced teachers and 32 are without experience. Our records show that of the 397 experienced persons $52 are employed in teaching for the school year 1942-43, Of the remaining 45 reports show that 13 are employed in other work, 4 are in the Use Se army, 10 are married, 14 are not regularly employed, and 4 failed to answer our inquirye Of the 32 inexperienced regis~ trants 16 are employed, 10 are married, 1 is in the army, 4 are unemployed, and 1 failed to report. This means that only 18 of our present registrants were not regularly employed on September 1 end that the status of five others is unknovn, As this is written it seems probable that our registrations will drop further for next yeare The demands of the war effort will take more people, salaries in business and defense plants are higher than in teaching, and the present enrollment in education courses is less than it has been. Unless undergraduates can be persuaded to take up teaching as a patriotic service the outlook for schools is not encoureginge VACANCTES 8UPORT =D The number of vacancies listed during the year was 1653. This is an increase of 536 over the preceding yeer, a gain of almost 48 per cente The largest number of calls received in any preceding year was 1330 in 1919—20. This year's figure exceeds that by 325 or 2402 per cente All indications are that the demands will be even greater next yeare For 820 of these reported openings we were unable to make recommendations e In 344 cases the calls were in subject matter fields in which the university does not prepare teacherse In 371 cases no suggestions could be made because of insufficient supply of candidates. Thirty-three calls involved very dif- ficult or unusuel subject combinationse Seventy-two calls required masters! or doctors’ degrecs which we could not supplye “e were able to recommend can didates for 833 positions, which is 503% of the totel vacancies listeds From states outside of Kansas 411 vacencies were listed. Calls for masters! degrees numbered 157 and for doctors! degrees 22. A detailed analysis of the calls by major departments listing combinations with the various minors de-= sired has been made and is available for examination by faculty members or students interested, PLACSMENTS Due to lack of candidates our placements were less than last yeare The totel located on direct recommendation by the bureau is 181. In addition 83 others were located with only incidental assistance. This makes a total of 264 of our registrants placed in new positions as compared with 301 last years All told we mailed out 2186 sets of papers for 571 different personse The main facts regarding enrollment, calls, and placement are recorded in the table attached to this statement. CONTACTS °. ITH Ei. PLOYSRS No publicity of any kind was sent out this year.e Demand was heavy with~ out it and a cut of about forty per eent in clerical staff makes any extra work or mailing impossible. The improved facilities for handling int«rviews have elicited much favorable comment from employers who have visited our office. This has added greatly to the success of our work this yeare The secretary regrets our inability to keep up our program of printed folders dealing with teacher preparation in various fields but all such work must be dropped until improved finances make resumption possible. The secretary vishes to express his thanks to all those members of the university staff who heve cooperetcd so generously in writing references, advising our registrants and counseling with him regarding recommendations for some of the more important vacancies. “ithout their help we should be seriously handicappede Respectfully submitted, HEAR pind Secretarye SUMMARY OF CALLS R™UCELIVED, CANDIDATES REGIS T:RGD, AND PLACEMENTS MADE BY MAJOR DEPARTMENTS For the Period of September 1, 1941 to August 31, 1942.

Very cordially yours, Director of Physical Sdusation, Varsity Basketball Geach. October 21, 1942 Kansas City, Kansas. Dr. F. C. Allen University of Kansas Lewrence, Kansase Dear "Doc": To ask favors of a busy man is as much of an unpardonable sin as you used to say stepping over a restricting boundry marking was. Since I have committed the letter, then I would become no less purer by not being guilty of the first. I know you will agree that there is always a need for better athletic officiating. I do not propose to offer myself as the answer to this prayer, but I do have an excellent understanding of what is expected of a good officiating job, as I have had opportunity for form- ing such a background while in college in dealing with intermural off- iciating and since then in high school officiating. So I have all the confidence that I can possibly use. Now all I need is something at which to blow my whistle} My present desire is to crack this closely-knit circle of Kansas City High Schools and see if they can't make use of some new blood eround here. Already, I have found that it is a mighty tough nut to crack, because the officials that are already on the inside are doing everything possible to stay there. They cannot be blamed for that, for they would be rather dumb to cut their own throats. Now what I want to get from you is some advise on what you believe would be the best manner to go about gaining access into this unaccessable. In case the 'Doubting Thomas' element should arise too often, would you be too opposed to my saying that you have heard of me in the long ago? In a case of this kind, a man needs a lot of helpe So if you can offer any assistance, I will tell you now that I will be further indebted to you then I already amy and that I will appreciate it very greatly.
