10 SUPERINTENDENT teachers,
AND SCHOOL BOARDS:
With a view to making the Nor
NAL Schools more serviceable to
the State and of increasing the
effectiveness of their cooperation
with the public. schools, the Board
of Regents of Normal Schools has
established Normal School Bureau
in the Office of the Board, at Madi-
son, Wisconsin. This Bureau has
in charge the registration of all nor
NAL school graduates who are de-
sirous Of teaching and the render
ing of its free service to all school
boards and superintendent desir-
ing teachers. 1t aims to be of SER
vice to the 5000 normal school
graduates now teaching and to the
1000 school boards employing
teachers.
There is kept in the Normal
School Bureau classified list of
normal school graduates who desire
to teach. Evidence is collected from
all available sources concerning the
scholarship, personal qualities and
success in the school room of the
graduates thus registered. Grad
yates from every course can register
but not until the expiration of three
months of teaching after gradua-
ton. These teachers are classified,
by the card reference system as to
grade of work for which each is best
suited, and by the subjects to be
taught. The facilities ofthe Bureau
will be free to members of school
boards and to superintendent and
principals of schools, desiring to
employ teachers.
For the service thus rendered, a
fee of $1,00 is charged to each nor
NAL school graduate who registers
in the Normal School Bureau. The
term of registration is for one year
beginning January /, 1909. No
other fee or commission during the
year is required. By a resolution
of the Board of Regents of Normal
Schools, it is made the duty of the
Secretaryo of the Board to deposit
with the State Treasurer all the fees
collected, the sam to be made a
separate fund to ply the costs of
postage, printing and extra Clerical
help employed for the Normal
School Bureau. The fee of ST 90
will probably be deemed very mod
crate for the service rendered when
it is considered that nearly every
teachers agency charges a registra-
ton fee of $500 and a 5 per cent
commission on the first year S
salary.
The service of the Bureau is en-
tirely free to members of School
boards, and to superintendent and
principals of schools. Those desir-
ing teachers should call at, or write
to the Normal School Bureau, stat
ing:

In calls for teachers, as complete
information as possible in regard tc
the vacancy is desired. The more
explicit the information, the more
effective will be the effort to fine
the right person. On each call fol
