LOCALITY AND KIND OF POSITIONS FILLED. With two exceptions we have placed teachers in every State and Territory in the United States. We have supplied teachers to public or private schools in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Chicago, Cleveland, and San Francisco, besides a large number of the smaller cities. We have secured desirable positions in every section of this country for Superintendents of Public Schools, Professors of Mathematics, the Natural Sciences, Ancient and Modern Languages, Belles-I.ettrcs, Music, Engineering, and Drafting; for Principals and Teachers In Academies, Normal, High, anil Grammar Schools; and for Teachers of Music, Art, Languages, and Higher English in the best known Hoarding Schools and Public Institutions. Outside, of the united States, we have tilled several positions in Canada, and have had calls from South America, the West Indies, and England. In a few towns we have placed at different limes more than twenty teachers; in several others, from four to twelve.

TEACHERS WHOM WE CAN AID. Teachers who are receiving smaller salaries than others doing the same kind of work, teachers in High and Grammar Schools, in many departments In Colleges ana Academies, and In all other lines of work where changes are frequent, should avail themselves of the advantages offered by this Agency. Wo Invite progressive ami well-qualilied teachers in every department of school work to register with us. Such teachers will find that we have the best possible facilities for introducing them to school officers. We are also likely to aid Inexperienced teachers who have received a college or normal education, and who are willing to accept small salaries because of their inexperience. We have a constantly increasing de- mand for specialists in the Sciences, Art, Music, Kindergarten, Manual Training, and Methods. In brief, If you can make clear to those who wish to employ teachers that you have done successful work, or are capable of doing such, we can be of service to you. Registration blanks and manuals free to any address. BUSINESS DIRECTORY.
