From the Religious Rambler
II is the fond belief OF college grad

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

ments looking for likely material. So
Tar as have been able to discover
there Is only one organization which
ls 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. It is rather surprising that
its monthly bulletins OF help wanted"
should be SO extensive.
Jobs at The End Of the Earth.
The general public is quite unaware
that there is such body, steadily app
pealtng to the youth Of the colleges to
give themselves to the ends OF the

School Teachers In Demand.
The most insistent demand of some
OF these out OF the way places that
are calling for college graduates 10 for
men and women teachers. incidentally,
1t is noteworthy that OF 3S2 positions
named on one bulletin, 1856 are for
women and 226 for men. The new

go abroad encounter the oldest adven-
ture Of all, love and marriage.
The teachers have an advantage In
that they make short term engage
ments of from two to Ave years, al
though many enter the foreign field
permanently. AS DIR. F. q. Hoskins. Of

times board also, and their travelling
expenses to and from their post, to-
gether with q salary ranging from $500
to 5000 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

Opportunities for So men physicians
and 25 women physicians were offered

These systematic visitations of coll
leges by the student volunteer move
