each year examinations are conducted and dur
ing the fiscal twevemonth 5000 men were ex-

the tests. You cannot be appointed upon the
Chicago police force by possessing acquaintance

success of the system installed by President Ell
ton Lower of the civil service commission and his
aides-H d. Fargo and NJ. L. McKinley-that to-
day every city o: any size in the United States
has its eyes focused upon the details and meth

Since President Lower became the leading light
in the work of giving Chicago efficient police

toward making its citizens absolutely safe from
criminals.
Physical Examiner Edward G. Westake is in
measure responsible for bringing out the best
bodily qualifications in the men who are turned
over to him for inspection.
Says Examiner Westake:
stage fright during the physical examination
is of the worst setbacks which the tests meet
When man becomes Mustered knowing that
a good job depends upon his every movement it
is quite natural that the best he knows will not
