NlN0T NORMAL GRAD
YATES GET POSITIONS
Practically All the Graduates Secure
Good Positions in Northwestern
North Dakota.

II you want a position as teacher,
attend the Minot Normal. That this is
good advice is evidenced by the facts
in The case. More land more school
officers are coming to look to this in
stitution for their teachers. During
the, last six months more than two
hundred vacancies in the schools of
the, state have been reported to the
Minot Normal. Many of these po-
sitibns the school could not fill be-
cause it had not enough graduates to
go around, or because it did not have
graduates with the requisite Qualifica-
tions. This last was particularly true
in the case of calls for school princi-
pals. There were many more calls
for principals than there were candi-
dates fitted to undertake principal
ships. This is an unfortunate situa-
ton. 1t is impossible to have good
chools without the leadership of goou
principals. People in general should
take up this line of work. Members
of school boards can do much towards
this end by helping to make such po-
sitions attractive to young men. They
should offer good salaries and provide
GOOD material equipment. But above
all they should see to it that the men
n the positions are respected and tnal
their work is properly appraised and
esteemed. Young men worth the while
'wagt some recognition among their
felltws, and they seek positions where
the1 can get this recognition. The
publ must bear in mind the fact that
to dcquire wealth, with it's accompany
ingi Influence, in public school work is
an futter impossibility. Since this
stimulus to endeavor is wholly lacking
in 3chool work, the public must pro-
vid{ some other attractive end as an
ADEQUATE substitute before it can hope
to Attract ambitious and energetic
young men into the teaching profess
sion. The profession must hold out
thes sure promise of respectable
career to all who devote themselves
10 it with a just measure of industry
and, intelligence. The Minot Normal
is looking for such young men as stu
dents and will be glad to do it's part
in fitting them for their work.
