The head went over and

Dear Phog:

Thanks for sending me a copy of the letter you are writing
the boys returning to school. You did a grand job in the
way you put the proposition of responsibility to them.

I have not forgotten the conversation we had, and will do
anything I can to help in my limited way. If they are going
into this thing on a wholesale plan, they must have enough
help to get the job donee

Thanks for the schedule, and with all best wishes to you, I

iy. Strong Hinman,

Dear Strong:

I thought I had a young man for you, Giles Elmore, one
of our physical education majors who graduated a
ago. and I traced him down to find that he is at Kinsley,
Keneas, in the Chevrolet autamobile business. I called hin
for you, but his business opportunity was better than what
he thought physical education might provide, so he turned
it dotitte

yeers ago and taught at Lonsing, Kansas, last year. I had
@ ietter on Mey 26, 1941, from him at Randolph, Kansas, his
home. He was asking about the possibilities of physial
education teachers in the army camps. I am quite sure that
ee ee ee Set Se ee Rereion or
- subject to draft. .

Iam sorry that I cannot give you any more leads. I
have exhausted every possible onc. ee ee
you will be able to locate someonc.

tad oop T an aypy Hat trrey Prom ts giving you
geod service.

With all good wishes, I em

Mr. F. C. Allen, Professor
Physical Education

Kansas University
Lawrence, Kansas

Dear Mr. Allens:

We are still looking for a physical director and coach for
our Curtis Junior High School in Topeka. Many men have.
been interviewed and investigated and actually employed.
The last man we employed stayed on the job one day and
left. This does not mean that we have killed anyone off,
but they simply cannot get released from the jobs they
now hold.

If you have any men that you know of who are competent

to teach gymnasium classes and coach football, basketball,
and track for junior high school boys, I will appreciate
it if you will let us have their names. Please do not give
us the names of anyone who is employed in a school system
unless you are certain that his Board of Education will
give him a release. We much prefer to locate someone who
is working in the field of business and who wants to come
back into the teaching profession, This position will pay
between $1700 and $2000 per year depending upon the man's
background, professional preparation, and experience,

We appreciate everything which you and your placement
bureau have done for us in the past few weeks, but these
efforts have not produced a person who has been able to
stay with us. Ifyou will please try once more to help us
we will appreciate it.

Sincerely yours,
