Civil Service Announces Examinations

The United States Civil Service Commission has announced four competitive examinations open to University students. Applications for these positions must be on file with the Civil Service Commission at Washington not later than April 14. The examinations are to till vacancies in the Departmental Service, including the Bureau of Standards, and in positions requiring similar qualifications.

The entrance salaries in the District of Columbia range from $900 to $1500. A probationary period of six month is required, while advancement after that depends upon individual efficiency, increased usefulness, and the occurrence of vacancies in higher positions. For appointment to the field service the entrance salaries will be approximately the same.
