A nd th e E x ecutiv e

E li g i b le s ■ P re sid e h t A b r a h a m D o n n e r said:

What New York^s Civil Service Commission says about
LEADER in its Annual Report, issued December, 1940:
The
“ The Commission welcomes the advent of a new Civil Service
weekly paper of general circulation, The LEADER, which >>a9
founded in 1939. The LEADER is the first Civil Service news­
paper of general news-stantl sale which is not controlled 1)V
form er political office-holders. The founding of The LEADER
under responsible auspices is an indication of the steadily ex­
panding public interest in civil service in the city, and is also
an indication of the increasing demand for civil service news
free from political taint, a characteristic unavoidable in pu*>‘
lications controlled by the political bosses.”

CIVIL SERVICE PREPARATION
F IR E M A N
The present Fireman eligible list expires on December 14. 1941. The
next mental examination should be held not later thar^ June, or Bix
months from now.
The number competing will be large, the competition keen and the
examination difficult. Therefore, those who liope for success should
begin preparation at once.
Our mental classes are meeting three days weekly—physical classes
twice weekly at hours to suit the convenience of the student.
P A T R O L M A N
The present list for Patrolman should be exhausted by January 1,
1942. Therefore, the examination should be held early in the Fall of 1941.
Since the Patrolman and Fireman examinations are somewhat similar,
we suggest tiiat you take advantage of the combination course and pre­
pare for both tests (if you are at least 5 ft. 8 in. in height), at a reduced
combination fee.

In Accord
The teachers an d officials of th e school sy stem a re in a ccord on th e
lubject of the unfit te a c h e r in no m a t t e r w h a t category h e is found. In
our estimation th e C o m m u n is t te a c h e rs a r e th e m ost "unfit” fo r th e y can
do the most h a rm . W hen th e y h a v e b e en p u rged, t h e m a tte r of d ealin g

We do not a d m it„ th a t t h e ra sh s ta te m e n ts of Dr. A ltm a n can be ta k e n

Let me say h e r e t h a t th e m o ra le of th e tea c h in g force h a s im p ro v e d

d itu re s h a v e long b een u n d e r sus­
picion. D oubly interesting , then, is
it to see on an official d o c u m e n t th e
accusation m a d e by K asoff’s own
m en th a t w hile he and his vicep re sid e n t each d r e w $30 a day for
27 days sp e nt in A lbany, t h e r e was
no legislation ^Sending d u rin g this

or would w a r r a n t th e pre se n ce of
d r iv e rs ’ a n d sw e e p e rs’ r e p r e s e n ta ­

th e r th e m en say it is th e ir belief
th a t “d u r in g th e tim e w he n these
officers p r e te n d e d to be in A lbany,
they w e re seen in th e C ity of N ew
Y ork.”
Surely , if A be Kasoff is fre e of
these charges, he should be able to
p ro v e t h a t h e a ctu a lly w as in AlIjan; each da y h e w a s k ip p o se d to
be t h e r e —and t h a t he sp e n t th e $30a -d ay a llo tm e n t fo r leg itim a te p u r ­

“ Squandered Funds”
In this respect, it is p>ertinent to
q uo te th e p r e s e n tm e n t of th e G ra n d
J u r y w hich in vestigated Kasoff and
his J o i n t Council.
(Incidentally,
w h y did Kasoff re fu se to sign a
w a iv e r of im m u n ity b efo re this
b o d y ? ) H e re ’s w h a t th e j u r y said:
“U pon inv estigatio n « f th e books
and re c o rd s of th e a b o v e-m en tio n ed
organizations, in cluding b a nk boo ks
an d cancelled checks, w e le a rn th a t
of supervision Involved, and the
difTiculty of translation.
Requirements
The only requirement for this
test is that applicants must be resi­
dents of the United States.
Basis of Rating
1. General qualifying test: a rating
of 70 out of a possible 100 will be
required.
2. Translation: this part will be
rated on a scale of 100.
Subject 1 will test the competi­
tor’s general language facility. It
will be in English and will be the
same for all competitors regardless
of the optional or optionals In which
a competitor is examined. Subject
2, translation, will test the competi­
tor’s ability to translate both into
and from the optional language or
languages selected.
