Teachers' Certificates.—Students receiving the B.S. in Education (see
p. 125) will receive the Professional Collegiate Certificate issued by the
Department of Public Instruction of Virginia. A student who cannot complete
the requirements for the B.S. in Education, or who must delay the
completion of them, may elect the following two-year course which leads
to a Teacher's Certificate issued by the Department of Public Instruction of
Virginia. This work may later be credited toward the B.S. in Education.

(a) From the School of Education: Education B2, B3, and B7 or B8,
and one other course. Total: 12 session-hours.

(b) From the other Academic Schools: One modern language course
from Group I and one course each from Groups II, III, IV and V. Total:
18 session-hours.

Courses for Teachers in Service.—Saturday courses in any subject offered
in the School of Education will be arranged for teachers in service,
if requested by at least five teachers. Degree credit will be allowed on the
same basis as in regular courses, provided that not more than one and one-half
session-hours of credit shall be given for the work in any course for
one year.

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.
