ence and by personal visitation they learn
what schools and colleges are doing and
attempting to do. Similarly the Bureau
seeks first-hand knowledge of registrants’
qualifications through interviews and by
study of the records and confidential ap-
praisals of registrants.

What success do Bureau registrants
achieve in their positions? What are
their failures, their points of strength?
Teachers College and its Bureau of Edu-
cational Service are effective only in so
far as the men and women who take
courses at the College are successful as
teachers and school executives. The
Bureau, therefore, after registrants have
been in new positions for a reasonable
period, asks employers for evaluations of
their work.

Criticism of and suggestions for im-
provement of Bureau service are invited
from employers, registrants, and faculty
members. Only on the basis of frank
criticism can the Bureau improve its
service. It desires to be fair, honest, and
helpful in its contacts with every em-
ployer and every registrant.
