Recommendation of Teachers.
The recommendation of teachers from the School of Education is
in charge of the Bureau of Appointments,—Professor Kent and Professor
Maphis. Through this committee positions are secured,
not only for students of the School of Education, but for students in
other departments, where they are known to be fitted to fill the vacancies
reported. In response to requests from the proper authorities,
teachers are recommended for positions as instructors in colleges
and normal schools, as superintendents, as supervisors in special subjects,
as principals or department teachers in high schools, and as
principals of elementary schools. The demand for teachers has been
greater than the supply. Correspondence with regard to this matter
may be addressed to the Bureau of Appointments, University, Virginia.
