has been established for the purpose of assisting Teachers and Kindergartners in their efforts to obtain positions, saving them, however, the usual expense of "Registration" and the percentage upon their salaries which it is the custom to pay when engaged -to the Agent or person through whom the position.

has been obtained.

The organization of this Bureau is but another step in the series of services which it is Mr. STEIGER'S desire to render in behalf of the interests of Education, and while he takes pleasure in thus freely offering his aid, he feels confident, on the other hand, that his endeavors will be appreciated; that he will be saved, at least, unnecessary labor and that neither his own nor his assistants' time will be occupied in attending to personal calls. A clearly-written statement setting forth what is desired by, and what are the qualifications of, applicants is, in most cases, of more real value than a personal interview and a verbal application.

The Application Forms (with transcripts of testimonials and photograph attached) are filed in the Office of Steiger's Educational Bureau and Principals of Educational Institutions upon calling, are given access to these files, after an inspection of which they will be able to make their selection, to enter into direct communication with applicants, and to conclude arrangements with them without incurring any monetary obligation to Mr. STEIGER.

[ocr errors]

On the other hand, Principals residing at a distance, who cannot personally inspect the files, should indicate upon the Blank Forms, furnished for that purpose, what they expect from the Assistant they wish to engage. Reference will then be made to the files and the names of such applicants as seem best suited for the position will be sent to the Principal, who is thus placed in direct communication with available teachers, and can effect the desired arrangement without other intervention.

In consequence of the extensive information in regard to nearly all the Schools and Educational Institutions of this country which is in the possession of this Bureau in the form of circulars, catalogues, reports and special particulars Mr. STEIGER is enabled to offer advice respecting the choice of schools for the education of children.

Parents and Guardians who wish to avail themselves of the facilities offered by this Bureau for the selection of a Tutor or Governess for home instruction will be accommodated in the same manner as Principals. The Blank Forms furnished should be carefully filled out with a distinct statement of the qualifications which are considered necessary and the nature of the services desired. Upon the receipt of such application Mr. STEIGER will examine the files of the Bureau and communicate a select list of names to each inquirer. The concluding arrangements will, however, be left entirely to the Parents or Guardians themselves.
