Dear President Malott:

The Committee on Recruiting Teachers of the
Kansas State Teachers Association is very much interested
in building up the enrollment of the teacher training work
in the colleges of the state for next year.

In our discussions the thought has been
expressed that personal contacts with seniors in the high
schools may do some good in inducing some seniors to
enroll for teacher training in the colleges next fall.

To this end the committee is addréssing this letter to

all the college and university presidents in the state,
suggesting that as faculty members from the various colleges
go out to give commencement addresses during the month of
May, that they have a meeting with the senior class of the
high school and explain the need for teachers, and the
increase in salaries now available, and urge those in the
upper ten per cent of the graduating class to enroll in
colleges this summer or fall for teacher:training.

We feel that this is a service to the
profession which we should render and also it will be
increasing the enrollment of the several colleges of the
state.

Will you take the necessary steps to bring

this to the attention of those members of your faculty
who will be giving commencement addresses this spring?

Sincerely yours .
Af Sipple, Chaiyfnan
