Mr. Forrest C. Allen,

Director of Physical Hducation
University of Kansas
Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Mr. Allen;

Thank you very mich for your letter of August 12 re-
lative to Mr. Dave Shirk. It is quite possible that we
may be able to use Dave this fall; however, we cannot defi-
nitely make these arrangements at the present time.

We are hoping and trying to get a regular full-time
teacher of physical education, and this selection must be
made from the Civil Service Register. If we get this teacher,
Mr. Powless will then serve as our assistent and we would not
need Mr. Shirk; but if we are unable to get the full-time man,
we would move Mr. Powless into that position on a temporary
basis and would need the services of another man.

It is necessary for us to mark time until the beginning
of school before we could consider contacting Mr. Shirk. If,
however, it becomes necessary for us to hire a man from the
outside, we will give Mr. Shirk our most serious consideration.

Thanking you for your continued interest in Haskell In-
stitute and wishing you much success, I remain,
fi >
