Hew 'Flexible S ystem of Marking
Is A d o p te d for S ta te Examinations
»y MAXWELL LEHMAN
ALBANY, J u ly 19.—T h e S ta te
vil Service Commission h as set
, a new system of g rad in g exjniinations, a system which m ay
have far-reaching significance both
upon promotion and open-competi­
tive examinations.
The Commission m a d e the
changes w ithout consulting any in­
terested persons, and has made at
this w riting no move to announce
them publicly — even though a
chanfre of this kind is one having
wide public repercussions. The
new rule and regulations are al­
ready in effect.
Flexible P ass M ark
In essence, the Commission has
decided th a t the old 75 passing
mark is not sacrosanct. The new
system will allow it to have a
flexible passing m ark , varying from
one examination to another, and
delKjnding upon the intern al con­
ditions in each case — the number
of eligibles needed, the num ber of
competitors, th e relative difficulty
of the exam ination, or other fac­
tors which m ight arise.
In exam inations where heavy
fomjHitition is anticipated, the
Commission may establish the passiiifr mark a t the lowest grade re­
ceived by certain num ber of the
liighest candidates in th e exam ina­
tion (or in any p a r t of the exam ).
In examinations w here th e competitioii is small in relation to the
number of jobs to be filled, or if
the test is so tough th a t a lot of
candidates m ight fail, the ra tin g
of exams can be altered to suit
the situation.
Six W ays Established
Six ways of altering the ratin g s
have been established by th e ComKiission. And th e ir use m eans, of
courf^e, th a t a person taking the
examination ca n n o t have a solid
jbasis for determ ining his standing ;
"e must w ait until all th e other
^actors are worked out before he
know w h at kind of a mai'k he
entitled to. The “ absolute”
system of g rad in g exams is thus
changed to w h at m ight be called
^ “I'olative” system.

were cited by b o th sides in an
endeavor to prove th e ir point. T he
court tend ed to b ru sh aside those
precedents, holding th a t th e y m ore
or less ten d ed to cancel each

determ ined on its own set of
facts.” Said th e co u rt:
“M any in juries occasioned by
heavy or unw onted ex ertio n followng an u nusual event or m ish ap
have been classed as accidental.
Doubtless th e correct te s t to apply
is to determ in e how th e pi'im ary
event would be styled in rhe speech
of com m on m en.”
An ^Unusual* Situation
T h e co u rt rejected th e S ta te ’s
claim t h a t th e re was n o th in g ex­
tra o rd in a ry in th e ch a in of events
w hich led to rea ctiv atio n of R a n ­
k in ’s tuberculosis. T h e co u rt held,
on th e co n tra ry , t h a t th e event
was unusual. “A ssum ing,” th e de­
cision said, “ th e w ea th er condi­
tions were n o t ab n o rm a l for th e
tim e a n d place, as d efe n d an ts
suggest, we do n o t believe th e
freezing of a gas line a n d pu m p
in a m oving m otor vehicle to be a
usual or com m on occurrence. If
such were th e fa c t th e operation
of any autom obile a fte r th e sam e
h a d been s ta rte d would be m ost
u n ce rtain in sub-zero w eather.
T h ere is no th in g before us to in ­
dicate t h a t such an occurrence is
common. W e are th e re fo re of th e
opinion t h a t th e event would be
term ed accidental in com m on
speech.”
R a n k in ’s exposure a n d physical
effort followed as a n a tu ra l con­
sequence of th e m ish ap , a n d all
th e m edical testim on y agreed th a t
his disability was a d irect result
of th e exposure an d effort.
T he result of th e decision, for
all public employees, is th is: If

B. N on-occupational

T hese coverages are diflerent
only in respect to acciden ts; th e
sickness coverage is th e sam e in
all policies. M any employees, a l­

while on duty, do n o t wish to pay
th e ir own m oney to buy additional
protection on th e job, so every
ap p lica n t ca n buy a policy w hich
protects duxing th e tim e off duty
only, if deidred. T his is th e nonoccupational policy.
T he no n-o ccup ation al policy
gives first day accident protection
for accidents while off d uty and
for a five-year period.
T he non-occupational policy is
considered th e b etter protection

WASHINGTON, Ju ly 19.—T he
g Civil Service Com mission
notified all R egional D irectors t h a t
Ljr m ight employ th e new
Ldified procedure developed in
L 8th Region fo r sim plifying th e
Lnouncement a n d ad m in istra tio n
sub stitute Clerk exam s. Al­
though th e system Involved was
Lvised for th is one type of exam,
jjjd has been used so f a r m ainly
in
post office exam s,
ijje Commission’s memo a u th o r­
ed its extensio*h to such o th e r
(xaminations as th e D irectors m ay
deem appropriate.
Xhe gist of th e p lan is th a t
applicants rep o rt directly to th e
jxani room a t a specified tim e
tjjown on th e an n o u n cem en t; th e y
peed not m ake application before
(lie test date, n o r are adm ission
cards required. T he procedure reouires a little more advance p la n ­
ning and estim ating on th e p a rt
of the regional office, an d th e re
is the disadvantage of n o t know ­
ing how m any com petitors to
niake test a rran g e m en ts for—aljiiough th is ca n be estim ated to a
certain degree. T he ad vantages,
however, are deemed m any, a n d
considering th e whole picture, th is
new procedure should please th e
local exam ining boards, th e Com ­
mission said.
How Schem e W as W orked
Here are -so m e of th e 8 th R e ­
gional D irector’s com m ents on
early experim ents w ith th e p la n
covering some 40 third-class post
offices in Iow a:
‘The p ostm asters in th e offices
where exams were needed fo r fill­
ing vacancies a n d for displace­
ments of n o n -sta tu s employees
were sent a form le tte r asking
hem where th e w ritte n te st could
)€ most conveniently held, an d
their estim ate of th e n u m b er of
persons who m ight compete. R ejiies were grouped according to
he exam p o in t selected. (This is
jreliminary work w hich will not
mve to be repeated.)
"After th is m a teria l was assem ­
bled, an exam d ate approxim ately
days ah e ad was selected. T he
examining bo ard secretary a t each
point was asked by form le tte r if
accommodations w ere available on
the date chosen. U pon receipt of
each reply, th e an n o u n cem en t was
prepared.
“A separate an n o u n cem en t was
5sued for each point. T h e several
3ost offices for w hich exam s were
3eing held a t t h a t p a rtic u la r point
were listed on th e anno uncem en t.
“In accordance w ith in stru c ­
tions contained in th e an n o u n c eaent, applicants appeared for th e
'ssts at th e places in d icated w ith any f u rth e r w ork on th e p a r t
of the regional office.
A dvantages Listed
"Among th e ad vantag es of th e
plan is th e elim ination of work
such as: (a) Receiving, tim estamping, a n d filing application
cards; (b) re tu rn in g applications
after th e closing d ate; (c)
SERVICE
p rep a rin g adm ission cards; a n d
(d) answ ering Inquiries ab out th e
date, tim e, an d place of ex a m in a­
tion.
“ T he speed w ith w hich registers
c a n be established is especially a p ­
pealing. T h ere is no g rea t lapse of
tim e betw een issuing th e a n ­
n o u n cem en t
an d
holding th e
exam . W e h a d registers in th e
h a n d s of p o stm asters w ithin 25 to
30 days a fte r th e d ate of th e a n ­
nouncem ent, T he procedure is a
sim ple a n d clea r-cu t one w hich
im presses th e public favorably as
a direct ex am ination m ethod.
“M uch m a te ria l is saved by th e
plan. O nly one ap plication form
is needed, a n d th a t is filed a t th e
tim e of th e test. Only persons
who actually ap p e ar for e x a m in a­
tion subm it applications. No a d ­
m ission cards are used, n o r is
postage used for m aih n g ad m is­
sion cards.”
I t h as been th e Com m ission’s ex­
perience during m any years th a t
in some of th e larger, mox’e pop u ­
lar, assem bled exam inations, a
g re a t m a n y persons fail to com ­
pete in exam s for w hich th ey a p ­
ply, In th e rec en t R ailw ay P ostal
Clerk exam , for instance, for every
100 ap p lican ts given cards of a d ­
m ission, only 55 cam e to th e ex­
am in in g p o in t to ta k e th e test.
T he tim e an d m oney expended
by th e Com mission an d its local
representativ es to process th e a p ­
plication cards a n d m ake th e ex­
am ining a rran g e m en ts for those
w ho la te r fail to com pete, is con­
siderable.
R epo rts R equested
A preliminai-y re p o rt on th e
d irec t-ex a m in a tio n p la n was se n t
to th e regional offices a few
m o n th s ago; several regions w hich
experim ented w ith th e procedure
in th ird -cla ss post office S ub stitu te
Clerk exam s early th is year, have
already spoken in favor of it. T h e
1st Region used th e p la n in a n ­
nouncing a n ex am in atio n to be
held a t 21 points for positions in
63 different post offices in th e

of ap p o in tm e n t a n d th e ex am in ­
ing points th e re fo r were listed on
a single ann o u n cem en t. T he w rit­
te n tests were held, a n d th e D irec­
to r said he was pleased w ith th e
results obtained. T he 10th Region

ence w ith th e new plan, h av in g

Reinstatement of Vets
Who Lost Police Jobs
Veterans dropped from the po­
lice foree on srcmnds of over-ase
hailed the introdueticm by Coun­
cilman Michael J. QuiU of s. bill
to authorize the reinstatement of
those certisfiieatcd fee appomtment
prior to Decembw: 31, 194T. The
biU would amend Section 434Aof the Administrative Cbde.
Abou:ft six months ago a group
was organized to obtain
legislatiion. Bitttoa Bcoadman, of
2S5 Madison Avenue, attom er fo r
the group, advised his clients that
the introduction of the biilS would
rCTiedY present inequities in the
law. m some instances tte men
dropped prored to be only a few
days, over-age.
Commissionjer Wallander had
previously expressed his readiness
to take the men back if legallsr
authorized.
Mr. Broadman seeks to broadoi
the proposed legislation to include
those dropped also from the el­

T h e promoUon of D eputy Chief

consid eratio n of these efforts in
one event. I t was M ayor W illiam
O ’D w yer’s own idea.
T he filling of th e $11,500 po.st
from th e com petitive prom otion
list would be a n event all by i t ­
self. However, it is expected to be
tran scend ed by a reorganization
to unify com m on an d executive
supervision, covering all boroughs.
Also th e re will be changes in titles
and pay.
T he B o ard of E stim ate is ex­
pected to vote th e necessary b ud ­

T he prom otion of 14 F irem en

fective, as of August 1, also, an d
likewise th e ap p o in tm e n t of 85
eligibles as p ro b atio n ary Firem en.

be practically used up w ith these
F irem en ap p o in tm en ts, good news
to th e ca n d id a tes in the cu n 'e n t

T he law suit th a t was expected
to follow if efforts to o btain back

was begun by 900 F ire m a n v eter­

form of a Suprem e C ourt com ­
p la in t a n d cited th e M ilitary Law
as en titlin g th e m to retroactive
seniority benefits applicable to
pay, instead of only to credit for

T he average am o u n t of -the
claim s is estim ated to be $ 1 ,000 .
