F. C. Smith registrar and lecturer on vocational education at the Graduate School of Education. In a statement made yesterday said that in spite of the present economic depression he has been able to secure for graduates of the school more positions during the season of 1930-31 than ever before.

He finds it impossible to meet the demand for high-class instructors in positions which range from superintendents of city schools, to headmasters of private schools and teachers in education at larger institutions. The medium salary which the opportunities offer is $3,500 and the figures occasionally run as high as $12,000 a year.

Offers have come from every state in the union, and he feels that although the general opinion that there is a surplus of minor instructors is well-founded, there is nevertheless an increasing demand for well-trained educators, Among the more distant opportunities which have come to the attention of Mr. Smith the records include two from Honolulu, the position of president of the Universitad du Puerto Rico and three as instructors of English at French schools.
