From the Religious Rambler.

1t is the fond belief Of college grad
nates-especially in the month before
.graduation-that the world Is seeking
them for their trained abilities and
high ideals. Most persons have never
noticed the representatives Of banks.
railroads, department. stores. insurance
companies, the United States Steel
corporation, and other large employ
ers, ~thronging to college commence
ments looking for likely material. So
far as ! have been able to discover
there is only n organization which,
Is Systematically engaged In trying to
allure college men and women into the
service which 1t represents. But that
agency represents the big world and
the grand adventure, and all things
considered, 1t Is rather surprising that
Its monthly bulletins of help wanted"
should be so extensive. .r.' !
Jobs at the End of the Earth. 4
The general public Isl quite unaware
that there Is such a body, steadily ap-
pealing to The youth OF the colleges to
give themselves to the ends of the
letin of the student volunteer move
ment, which Is before me, calls for 382
men and women to fill posts demand
ing college graduates, in Is different
countries aside from the United States
and Canada Some Of the posts to be
filled would seem to give promise OF
excitement and adventure, while all

the bulletin from which these, facts are
drawn are as follows: -.

Some Strange Places.
II these names do not promise
enough that Is strange and seductive
and remote, I might quote the definite
locations Of a few OF the positions that
are clamoring for college men and
women-with all travelling expenses
paid, and comfortable salary assured.
Just FOR fun 7 shall not name the
countries, but only the cities. There
are, to choose almost at random from a
long list:
Impur, Markham, Hope, C~haoyang.
Ningyuenfu. Suifu, Mandalay, Gauhat,
Mardin, Aintab, en-chou-fu, dong
loh, Ponasang, Nusaie, Ochcileso, Pao-
ting-fu, Maebashi, Tottori, Ichcang.
Anking, Hyderabad, Bidar, Brindaban.
School Teachers in Demand.
The most insistent demand Of some
Of these out Of the way places that
are calling for college graduates is for
1t Is noteworthy that of 1872 positions
named on m bulletin, 156 are for
women and 226 for men. The new
woman can crafty her desire for adj
venture as well as her brother. al
though most Of the women who thus
go abroad encounter the Oldest adVen-
ture 'of all, love and marriage.
The teachers have IN advantage In
that they make short term engage
ments Of from two to FIVE years, al
though many enter the foreign field
permanently. AS DR.. r. f. Hoskins, of
Beirut, says concerning the Americans
who go out to teach in Syrian Protes-
tant college, whatever success they
may have as teachers, the experience
makes men Of them. Three years of
life In the east broadens them more
than q college education"
These teachers. who are unofficial
ambassadors OF American influence, re-
ceive their living quarters and some
times board also, and their travelling
expenses to and from their post, to-
gether with a salary ranging from $400
to 5000 a year. In addition, they have
an established position in the COM
munity to which they go.
Ministers, Doctors and Nurses.
One of the constant calls for the stu
dent volunteer movement Is for or
dained ministers Of the gospel to go as
foreign missionaries. One bulletin spec
iies places for 1877.
Opportunities for IS men physicians
and 25 women physicians were offered
in the same circular, while the calls
for trained nurses numbered 49, A re-
cent instance of the need for a ply

These systematic .~vtsItations of col
leges by the student volunteer move
