MANY GOOD POSITIONS 90 BEG
GING BECAUSE or THEIR
LACK.

Several wcl-paid teaching positions
in Latin America open to Americans
will probably be filled by men from
other countries because Of lack of
tIained men in the United States with
speaking knowledge of Spanish. ac-
CCrding to Nlr. l.. A. kalbach, chief
clerk Of the Bureau Of Education. On
SEVERAL occasions lately, Mr.. Kalbach
points out, the Bureau of Education,
at the request Of the state depart
ment, has poured the country in
search of educators for responsible
positions in Latin-American countries
only to find generally that those who
might qualify in other particulars
can not speak the language,
The American minister to Panama
recently asked the United States
government to recommend candidates
for positions as professor of Industrial
arts professor Of agriculture, and
professor of veterinary medicine in
Penama. Salaries up to $2,4O0 and
other inducements were offered. The
Bureau Of Education communicated
with various institutions and organi-
cations that usually have lists OF
available candidates, but in this case
the response, was meager because Of
the language requirement. None Of
our Industrial arts experts speak
Spanish" wrote an officer OF one of
the best-known teachers-trainin in
stitutions. Others declared that while
/ they knew Of men who would meet
the requirements, so far as profess
sonal attainments and teaching ex-
pcrience We're concerned, they knew
Of none who had the added require

Spanish is, Of course, taught in
many American institutions Of learn
ing, but, the bureau officials point
out. comparatively few students avail,
themselves Of the opportunity to
learn it. Sometimes students feel that
a high school or college course in
Il Spanish will not furnish the neces-
sary conversational knowledge. This
difficulty has long been recognized
In all modorn-language instruction,
and in Spanish, particularly. practical
control of the language is now insist
ed upon.
Furthermore. opportunities for
practice in speaking Spanish are con
stantly increasing. Better transpor-
