Qmtlemen:
This letter is to congratulate you on
your splendid work in preparing candi­
dates to pass engineer examination!!
for Civil Service positions. I have just
been notified that I passed second on
H recent promotion examination for
Engineering Inspector, Grade 4. I was
also notified a short wlille back that
1 passed eleventh on the open competi­
tive ex«mlnaticta for Jr. Engineer^
Mechanical, Grade 3.
Both of the above successes were
due in large part to the splendid in­
struction I received in your school.
1 thoroughly recommend your school
and its teachers to aspirants for Civil
Service technical positions.
Very truly yours,

San ita tion m e n w il l be mostly
gliort a n d squat. T h e y pro bably
■won’t average m o re t h a n five
feet seven inches in h e ig h t . . .
The boys w i t h strong legs, broad
shoulders seem to do best in the
physical co m p e titio n . . . T h e tall,
lanky ones have trouble, es­
pecially w i t h t h e w e i g h t - l i f t i n g
and a b d o m in a l tests . . . M o s t of
the failure s a re caused by th e

of

Here’s a curious t h in g : m e n
from d if f e r e n t p arts of th e city

were m a d e by th e m e n f r o m

VJe h a v e n ’t trie d to fig u re out
why . . . W e saw several f a t m e n

Not a single one did. . . . O v e r­
weight means th u m b s dow7i f o r

" V e r y f e w can get th r o u g h this

W e were s om e w ha t d is heartened

the test f o r U n e m p lo y m e n t I n ­

been set fo r Septem ber 16, is
absolutely u ntru e .
So our A l ­
b an y correspondent fo u n d by
the simple process of asking
G ra c e A. Re avy, President of the
S ta te C iv il Service Commission.
Septem ber 16 is a M o n d a y a nd
t h e Sta te CoJttmission doesn’t
hold exams on M o n d a y , because
school buildings a r e n ’t available.
Surely T h e C h ie f should k?iow
that!
T h e L e a d e r is a newspaper, not
a sheet given to sniping, snide
