$19,000 EARNED THROUGH BUREAU DURING 1917-18

More than $19,000 was earned during the last academic year by students seeking employment through the aid of the University Employment Bureau. Of this sum, over one-half was received by men holding tutorial positions of some sort. The next three most popular forms of employment were in the order named, positions as clerks, walters and musicians, these jobs having brought in $1382, $1257, and $1005 respectively.

Te exact total as reported to the Employment Bureau by the students them-selves amounts to $19,271.86. This does not include any of the money earned by the 85 Summer School students enrolled at the bureau, nor does it include any account of the money earned by students holding positions for the whole summer, of which there were about 420.

Clerking Popular.

The most popular position was that of clerk, 68 being thus employed. Thirty-four worked as tutors, 28 as choremen, 23 as salesmen, 22 each as ushers and waiters, 17 as agents, 12 each as gardeners and guides, and 11 as musicians. The list of various kinds of positions was not limited to these lines of work, however, but included 39 separate sorts of jobs: accountants, agents, attendants, boys' club workers, care-takers, chauffeurs, choremen, clerks, coaches, companions, computers, correctors, draughtsmen, errand boys, farmers, gardeners, guides, hat checkers, hotel clerks, librarians, monitors, musicians, note takers, proctors, proof readers, readers, research workers, salesmen, settlement workers, stenographers, switchboard operators, ticket takers, translators, tutors, tutor companions, stenographers, ushers, waiters, and several others.

The military emergency cut down the number of men employed through the bureau, many positions remaining unfilled on account of the lack of students.
