The Agricultural College as a Source of Supply, with 



Statistics on Salaries Commanded by 



Recent Graduates 



Passing from the secondary school demand, and its valuation 

 of such service as mentioned, let us now turn to the available 

 supply of persons receiving the most desirable preparation and 

 see what their talents command in other markets. 



Table 42 shows what salaries the men just out of agricultural 

 college are receiving when they arc engaged by the colleges them- 

 selves, by the experiment stations, and for similar work by 

 state or federal departments. The secondary schools must not 

 only compete with the financial inducements here listed, but 

 also with the greater desirability, to the average college man, 

 of college and research work over public school teaching. It 

 must be remembered, too, that many of these graduates are 

 without any teaching experience. 



It will be seen from the table that the salaries run quite 

 evenly for the tliree years, as shown by the comparative average
