J. L. Jaynes and Dennis Mccarthy are
students under Special Auditor E. O..
Brandt. This arrangement went into
effect July 1st, and provides that tele-
graph students shall serve an apprentice
ship for n year, when they will be ex-
amined by the auditor at Omaha as to
their ability as an operator and in station
work. Failing to pass an examination
they must serve another apprenticeship
of six months and again stand an exami-
nation which, if they pass, are put on
the list for employment. This ar
~rangement is rather in the line of civil

the station service in years to come should
the scheme be successful. The next
thing in civil service reform will be a
school for the education of hobos for the
position of section laborers.-Alliance
