FILLING Of VACANCIES
IN THE HEALTH SERVICE
Positions Open to Nurses and Physi-
cians-EXaminations to
Be Held.

What promises to be one Of the 1arg-
est competitive examinations ever con-
Quoted to establish a list OF eliSibles
for appointment to District government
jobs is that scheduled by the civil serv-
ice commission for November 20. ir
connection with the filing of the five
positions as school nurses provided for
in the current District appropriation
act.
Judging from the applications filed
those positions are looked upon as
very desirable ones by a majority OF
the trained nurses in the capital. The
compensation is 5000 per annum, with
thirty days Of sick leave and thirty
days annual leave.
Summer Work Probable.
The only Objectionable feature men
toned is the fact that the nurses may
be called upon to work for the health
department during the summer months.
This has not been definitely decided
upon, but Indications are that the posi-
tions will be regarded as coming under
the jurisdiction of the health depart
ment rather than the school board.
Prior to this examination the civil
service commission will conduct an ex-
animation for medical positions in the
District service. Vacancies are to be
filled among the physicians to the poor,
medical inspectors and resident physi-
clans at a number of the penal, chari-
table and correctional institutions. The
principal vacancies are those caused
by the resignation of DR.. Edmund Bar
ry from the board of police and fire
surgeons and DR.. w. M. Barton as med
ical inspector, the former position pay
ing $72O per annum and the latter $500.
Chance for Medical Students.
The health department is particular
that third and fourth year medical stu
dents compete in the examination, and
will appoint those making the highest
markings to positions in which it is
believed they may obtain valuable ex-
perience.
A large enrolment is reported by
Howard University Medical School this
year, and it is expected that students
in this institution may enter the exam
ination. AS result of the raised stand
ard of the school. DR.. Peter NJ. Muir
ray, who graduated from Howard in
June, led the July examination con-
Quoted by the District board of medical
examiners for license to practice med
icine IN the District. He also led in the
