Dear Dean Schwegloers

I have been desiring to see you the last few days concerning
Mrse Josephine Sems, who has @ Master's Degree in the School of Educations

Urs, Sems was Josephine lant, who taught et Oak Park High School
in Chicage before she was marriede. She has two childrene The situation
became such that it was necessary for her to return to teaching again and
ashe came here to secure her Master's Degree and is now teaching at the
Chapman, Kansas High Schoole You doubtless remember that she assisted
us with our Caummity Reereation course last sumer. She desires to
return to the Uni versity this coming summer and assist us as ehe did
last summers

You will remember that we endeavored to heve Miss Stapleton
placed on the staff so that she might teach the Playground Methods course
for the GO«hour diploma people last swmer, It is my opinion that we
- @ould get Mrse Sams for a very swall consideration and I believe she
—s do a good jobe Im fact, I do not believe we would have to go to

the Budget Committee because, together with the Departuental budgetary
gllowance given us if we could get some small additional help from Mre
Chandler, I believe we could make ite This would enable us if keep the
women's side open and we would be able to render @ real service to these
teachers coming in who desire this coursee At least, we could see how
much of an appeal this course would have to outside teachers»

Mrse Sams is & very intelligent womane I do not believe we
wuld suffer in the least by having her offer this courses The reason
I am writing you at the present time is to see if you are agreeable to
this echeme and if you are, to see if it is possible tc facilitate
matters so that we might get some publicity or at least have the offering
printed in a program after we have received the consent of the Chancellor
and Adninistrations

Iwill be gled to see you and talk with you, if you feel this
is worthwhile. : 3

Sincerely yours,

Director of cal Educati | |
