The fact that the salaries for the assistant librarians and for the heads of departments seem almost equal to the salary of the librarian is accounted for by the fact that these positions are found only in the large libraries, whereas the salary of the librarian of the small library brings the average for that position down. In general the salaries for the public library positions are higher than for the college and university positions. It is interesting to note that the more highly specialized the position and the less it pertains to the more technical side of library work the better the salary. Table No. 3 gives the average salaries for men and women taking the one- and two-year courses from 1917 to 1930. In 1930 there were 134 degrees of B.S. in L.S. awarded, of these 109 have been placed
