Accord ing to Miss Smith, an applicant for a job must have good health, must be willing to work at anything, must be reliable and must be aver age or above scholastically. Jobs that pay for board and room are most in demand by the students, and pobs that are avail able range from clerking in stores to washing windows and cutting grass. ter on that date.
