SCOPE AND CHARACTER OF EXAMINATIONS
The scope and character of the examinations ap
pear in brief in the Manual of Examinations"
published by the commission, of which about
ninety thousand copies were furnished applicants
during the year covered by the report The num-
Der of applications for examination was 59,552 an
average OF 1.145 week. The chief examiner states
that during the year the examining division,
sisted by experts detailed from the different de-
ons Under 90 distinct tf3ieS that rs of the eS
aminatons included scientific tests Of profess
and 3s7 registration examinations. which have
been heretofore described: The examinations held ED

There lS5S local Civil Service boards

LACK OF FACILITIES
Attention is called in the report the fact that,
although during the last eight years
the number of classified positions has increased
from little thirty thousand to more than
one hundred thousand. and the number of ap
pointmentS per year from about four thousand to
about ten thousand, no additional employees have
been provided by Congress to meet this enormous
increase This difficulty is only partially met by
the detail of employees from other departments,
for the Chief Examiner states:
With the present limited appropriations it has
been impossible conduct the examining work
of the commission in satisfactory manner and
great delays have been unavoidable
