Professional Advancement Service 
The Professional Advancement Service seeks to aid men and women in botany and related 
subjects in securing such positions as they may desire, and to offer to heads of departments, or direc¬ 
tors of laboratories, experiment stations, or other institutions an opportunity of making known the 
vacancies they seek to fill. 
The method of the service consists in publishing in the American Journal of Botany a brief 
notice stating the training and experience of the applicant or the requirements of the vacancy. Each 
person using the Service is designated by number and his identity may be learned on application to the 
Business Manager of the American Journal of Botany. A list of eligibles and open positions is kept, 
and inquiries are referred to the advertisers who are mentioned or seem best suited to the requirements 
stated. The charge for the service is $2.00 for each case for one year or less. The notice regarding 
qualifications offered or desired will be published at frequent intervals, but not more than ten times. 
Address: The Business Manager, American Journal of Botany, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Brook¬
