ADVERTISED POSTS
Sus,—Before the war I was a schoilmaster. I am now a Territorial Army officer and have nearly spent over three years in India and Burma, nor do I expect to be repatriated until very sbortly before my demobilisa- tion in January or February next year.
Meanwhile I should like to take all the steps I can to obtain a new post: yet, when The Spectator reaches me, the last date of application for any of the apparently permanent positions advertised in your columns has invariably passed. For instance, today is September 24th and your issue of August 17th has just reached me: the dates of application in it are "At once," August 27th, August 3151, September Toth, Septem- ber 15th, and, perhaps, worst of all, September 30th! May I therefore ask either that such posts should still be advertised as " Temporary " or that the period for application should be considerably extended? You have my name and address, but I should be glad if you would allow me
