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.

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

degrees numbered 157 and for doctors! degrees 22. A detailed analysis of the
calls by major departments listing combinations with the various minors de-=

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
