THREE MORE VACANCIES FILLED Nearly fifteen-hundred graduates of the college were given personal assistance in securing teaching and other professional positions within the course of the year. Each registrant in the Bureau has been called upon to make a personal appearance at the office that their personalities may be as well known as are their scholastic records. Also, students were given the opportunity of holding personal interviews with superintendents who have visited the campus in search of teachers. Every county in Iowa, in addition to thirty-five other states and territories of the United States, has availed itself of the ser- vices of the Bureau in obtaining employees. DR. E. W.

FOR OFF-CAMPUS STUDENTS The Extension Division, with a staff of seven instructors, served as a clearing house for the teachers of the state. Approximately one-fourth of the teachers in Iowa were served directly, together with 45,000 pupils and students in the field of education. Graduates were given particular attention in order that they might become better qualified to fill the positions which they were then holding, and off-campus students were enabled to carry college work while elsewhere employed. The need of the Extension Divi- sion has increased proportionally with the demand of a larger range of subjects to be taught by one teacher. This Department has truly extended the campus to coincide with the state boundaries. Extension Division Page 26 I. H. HART Director

FRESHMAN AND SOPHOMORE TESTS GRADES ARE RELEASED The Bureau of Research has had charge of the freshman and sophomore testing programs. The scores made by the students in these tests have become a part of their permanent record. A study of the relationship between these scores and later attainment in college as well as later teaching success is being made. Students are given the opportunity of learning the scores they made in the tests by inquiring at the office of the Bureau. The Bureau has cooperated with members of the Faculty in the construction of course examinations. The system of achievement tests required of all twelve weeks normal training students has been in charge of the Bureau. Bureau of Research Page 28 DR. J. B. PAUL Director
