Eleven per cent more graduates were placed by the School of Education last year than the year before, in spite of the fact that last year saw a drop of 58 per cent in the number of calls received, it was revealed by Dr. Fred C. Smith, Director of Placement of the School of Education. Dr. Smith stated that it was difficult to understand why this increase in placements took place, all records seem to show that teachers with the most thorough training are getting more and more any jobs which may exist.

Many Teachers Placed

The school placed 41 of the 102 graduates last year, and from Dr. Smith's statistics there are only eight or ten unemployed, the remainder having secured jobs in another way. The average percentage of teachers placed by normal schools throughout the country last year was 65, whereas the Harvard School of Education placed 85 per cent of its graduates.

The average salary received by employed graduates of the School is $2,643, with a range from $10,000 to $1150. About 40 per cent of the employed graduates have jobs in New England, about 15 per cent have jobs in New York and New Jersey, 10 per cent are working in the Far West, 15 per cent are working in the Middle West, five per cent are working in the South, and the remainder are employed abroad.
