The Purpose of the School of Education.—In the rapid development of
educational science and the resulting attention given to the improvement of
the several phases of public education, it is important that all who are interested
in the growth of this great agency of democracy, generally or professionally,
be given ample opportunity to study its underlying principles, organization
and most practical applications. Those who aim to teach or to administer public-school
affairs require instruction and training in the scientific principles and in
the technique of their calling. The study of the principles, ways and means of
formal education is incumbent on all citizens who earnestly seek an intelligent
and conscientious balloting on public-school affairs. For these reasons the
courses in the School of Education aim to supply the needs of the two classes
of citizens referred to.

Recommendation of Teachers.—The recommendation of teachers is in
charge of the Bureau of Appointments, through which positions are secured,
not only for students in the School of Education, but for other students who
are known to be fitted to fill 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 in regard to this matter may be addressed to the
Bureau of Appointments, University, Virginia.
