C O N T R IB U T IN G
dication t h a t she Ls no t a good t y p ­
ist. It m e re ly indicates o th ers w e r e
b e tte r, t h a t ’s all. The p u rp o se of
the test is to get a sufficient n u m ­
b e r of qualified eligibles to fill a n ­
tic ip ate d vacancies, no t to see ho w
m a n y c and ida te s can pass an e x ­
a m in a tio n such as is the case of
b a r e x am in ation s, o r e x am in atio n s
to practice m edicine, p h a r m a c y or
plum bing. It is for th'esc reaso ns
th a t the Com missions often fix th e
passing m a r k at som e m o re or less
a r b it r a r y n u m b e r of eligibles as
th ey did in the last P o lic e m a n ’s
test. The Com mission realizes t h a t
a p e rce n tile passing m a r k is v a r i ­
able an d often of little p ra ctica l
value. T h e C ommission could, fo r
m a n y tests, fix th e passing m a r k a t
90, 85, 70 or even 50, de p en d in g on
th e kin d of e x am in atio n, th e n u m ­
b er of c an d id ates in th e test a n d
th e n u m b e r of eligibles needed.
T he Com mission realizes t h e r e is
no good p u rp o se se rv e d e ith e r to
the g o v e rn m e n t or th e c an d id a te s
to establish a list of ten th o u sa n d
n am es w h en t h e re m ay be need for
no m o re th a n 100 eligibles.
Don’t ConfiiHe Offer
With Appoinlincnt
W.L.O.—Again I m u s t caution
you not to confuse ofTer of a p ­
p o in tm e n t with actual notice of
a p p o in tm en t. Many eligibles have
m ad e the m istake of assum ing th a t
an
offer of a p p o in tm e n t was
notice of a ppoin tm ent, gave up
t h e i r job.s and tra v e lle d c o n sid e r­
able distances a t th e ir own e x ­
pense, only to learn t h a t they had
not been actually selected for a p ­
p o in tm e n t,
but
m ere ly
asked
w h e t h e r they would accept a p ­
p o in tm e n t if offered. Please read
the letters carefully, and do not
m a k e any changes in y o u r position
or r e p o r t for a p p o in tm e n t until
you actually receive notice of a p ­
p o in tm e n t and specific re q u e s t to
r e p o rt for duty. You will save
you rse lf time, m o ney an d e m b a r ­
ra ssm e nt, if you exerci.se care in
r e a d in g the letters and te le g r a m s
sent to you by the Com m issions
or the d e p a r tm e n ta l a p p o in tin g o f ­
ficers.
h a ‘Vcl’
E.H.M.—It w ould seem from
some recent c ourt r u l i n g s ’that a n y ­
one who had been m u s te r e d into
the m ilitary or naval service in
tim e of war. e v en if service was
only for a few hours, and the p e r ­
son was h o n o ra b ly discharged, th a t
such person comes u n d e r the
cla.ssification of a w a r v e te ra n . It
m ake s no diflerence u n d e r th e
Civil Service law w h e t h e r t h e v e t ­
e ra n was d ra fte d or enlisted vol­

No ‘Right’ to Reinstatement
P. A.—W hen you resigned from

T h e r e is no such thing as “r e sig n ­

to r e in s ta te m e n t; it is oniy a p r i v ­
