Of those who passed, forty have received 
appointments to temporary positions. It is 
probable that 50 per cent. of the number 
will become permanent members of the Sur- 
vey; 38 per cent. already hold or will ob-

surveys and private employment.

ployed, the majority are connected with in- 
stitutions of learning, as follows:

The preceding statements illustrate the 
intimate relation existing between one di- 
vision of one bureau of one department of 
the Government and the higher educational 
interests of the country. A close analysis 
of the personnel of other bureaus will doubt- 
less show that the Government is thus in- 
directly doing a great work in fostering 
higher education and research, and it will
