A. r. Seryin. Chief Examiner OF the
Civil Service Commission. said today In
regard to the issuing ~ the Postofice De-
partment OF fraud order against the Tn
ion Teachers Agencies Of America and the
Bureau Of Civil Service Instruction, Of this
city:
The names assumed by these institu-
tons are calculated to induce in the minds
CT some persons belief that It is the
Civil Servic, Commission which is inyolv-
cd in the action Of the Posiofice Depart
ment. The unwarTanted methods Of these
so-called bureaus Of instruction CT CORES
pondeEce schools have long been a source
Of annoyance TO the Comm ssiCn. as the
knowledge they assume to possess Tor Ht-
ting applicants for our examinations exists
only in imagination. The cases recently
acted upon by the Postoffce Department
have been reached only through The grosa
violation Of the postal laws.
A pernicious system OF advertising L.
stiil carried on by many private Offices In
this city which is calculated to exto-t
money from unwary persons who have a
desire 70 enter Government service and
whose hopes are excited by these cores
pcndence Offices without the
slightest chance CT fulhllment In
fac.. cases have come 20 Lily

nished By these Cticers 10 their pupils have
been 20 far misleading as TO be utterly
foreign from any ever used in eXamina-
Ji0ns by the Commission
The fullest POSSIBLE information con-
corning our examinations. and the kinds
OF questions asked are 10 be found in our
manual which we endeavor 20 make avail
able 20 all persons throughout the country
VINO are DESTROYS OF becoming candidates
FOR Government positions TIE methods
used by the correspondence schools often
include advertising 10 the effect that tn1
1 Government is in need OF a great number
Of employees. and to insiuCate that the as
piraHts for such positions need only be-
come pupils % the school In order 10 in
sure their obtaining such positions. The
necessity for abOlishiug such pernicious
practices. whether they come within reach
Of the law or not. cannot be exaggerated. 90
A member OF the Civil Service Examin-
ing Beard SAID.
TO my knowledge the corps OF assist
ants generally employed by the correspond
ence schools is almost ludicrously made
quate for instrucJing pupils By correspond
eGce. We have in cur Office over 100 train
ed employees and are often obliged 10 Sc
cure the services Of experts from Other
sources. The correspondence schools en-
ploy as a rule persons who are only ca
pable Of the labor Of a mailing division.

Ta.itv."
