The Harvard University Employment Bureau has gathered together an extremely varied group of entertainers and lecturers, we find. One gentleman an authority on Russia, is "also prepared to deliver short illustrated talks to children on bee-keeping, sword fishing, and the life of the American sailor". Another of the lecturers is portentously entitled, "Astronomer"; he gives a talk which, oddly enough is set for the non-astronomical brethren.
Still another of the talkers concerns himself with Africa, which he once visited as a boy scout; his lecture is accompanied by slides of animals and natives, and can be shortened if desired. The programs, however, are not entirely confined to orations: one man is equipped to show "two scowling puppets of large size who battle three rounds to a knockout." Another is able to demonstrate simple experiments in mental telepathy and mind reading, which are particularly interesting to children. The Bureau, in short, can fill any, or almost any, need.
