large majority of the aspirants naive
ly confess that they have had no
experience whatever which would fit
them for this highly specialized field.
Many of the inexperienced appli-
cants are obviously impossible but
even among those who are sufficient
ly promising to receive more than
passing consideration the proportion
of inexperienced is overwhelming.
Indeed, of the 700 men whose names
are now on the waiting list" of eligi-
bles at the secret service-that is
men who have complied with the
civil service regulations governing
applications for places in the secret
service-more than 600 admit that
they are totally devoid Of practical
experience in this line.
With a profession which above all
others needs devotees who can bring
to it wide knowledge and thorough
training, yet with most applicants
sorely deficient In these qualiflca-
tions, the question naturally sug-
gests itself: Where does the secret
service secure it's agents? In reply
it may be said that upward of a doz-
en- different callings have demon
strated their value as fields of ap-
premiership. Some of the most ca
pab1e secret service operatives now
