§ Mr. COVEasked the President of the Board of Education how many of the men and women who left training colleges and university training departments in July 678W last are still reported as having failed to obtain employment as teachers?
Mr. STANLEYThe following table gives the latest figures available. For purposes of comparison I have added the comparable figures for those students who left the training colleges and training departments in July, 1934:

From the figures in that column there have been excluded 106 (1934 leavers) and 146 (1935 leavers) students who were known not to be seeking employment in the teaching profession immediately, and 160 (1934 leavers) and 260 (1935 leavers) students about whom no information is available.
