LOCALITY AND KIND OF POSITIONS FILLED. With two exceptions we have placed teachers In every State and Territory in the United States.

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, lielles-Lettrcs, Music, Engineering, and Drafting; for Principals and Teachers in Academies, Normal, High, and Grammar Schools; and for Teachers of Music, Art, Languages, anil Higher English in the best known Boarding Schools and Public Institutions. Outside of the United States, we have Oiled 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 times 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 name kind of work, teachers in High and Grammar Schools, in many departments in Colleges and Academies, and in all other lines of work where changes are frequent, "should avail themselves of the advantages offered by this Agency. We invite progressive and well-qualified 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.
