Allen Director of Physical Education t ase University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Dear Dr. Allen: We wish you to recommend some one whe would be a good assistant to Wirt Downing, football coach, and to "Pick"Dehner, basketball coach, at the East St. Louis Senior High School, and who is qualified to teach some high school subject other than physical education. . The maximum annual salary here for a teacher with an A. B. degree is $2940.00 and for a teacher with an A. M. degree is $3140.00, in either case plus $250.00 for assistant coaching and plus $500.00 annually for head coaching. An important and favorable advantage of teaching in Illinois is the fact that all teachers in Illinois have "tenure" after two years of teaching here. Illinois has one of the best teachers! pension systems in existence. Your kindly sending me an immediate reply will certainly be appreciated. : Sincerely yours, EAST ST. LOUIS SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL & W.
