PRESCRIPTIONS BABY NEEDS

- The function of the bureau is to assist present and former students of the University in finding teaching positions. The schools in Kansas and neighboring states list vacancies with the bureau, and from this list the bureau makes recommendations for filling the vacancies.
H. E. Chandler, head of the bureau, said that last year they received calls from every state in the Union except Alabama. The total number of vacancies they received last year numbered 5,000, and he said from the present number already received this year the figure will probably be considerably more.

Mr. Chandler said during the month of January a year ago he received 269 vacancies. In January of this year the number was 818. The year's total to the first day of March is 2,100 as contrasted with 1,300 a year ago.
Mr. Chandler said that many students turn in a preference for a certain locality to teach. When they fill the vacancies they always keep the preference in mind.
"This year there is already one location in Aalska, one in South America, and there will be at least a few go overseas to Army dependent schools in Europe," he said. The Navy said she "Join the Navy and see the world." He continued, "Now all you have to do is be a school teacher."
Mr. Chandler attributed the greater share of calls in the elementary field to the increasing population. He said that eventually they can locate jobs almost anywhere for the students in elementary education.
"The way it looks now." Mr. Chandler continued, "the demand for teachers is going to continue to be large for many, many years."
