The commission desires to call attention
to the new examination being given at
frequent dates to secure stenographers
and typewriters. This is different from
the regular Tuesday examination in that
the competitor makes the notes from a
printed exercise instead Of from dicta-
ton. This should appeal to those with
knowledge Of stenographic notes, but
who are unaccustomed to dictation. Per-
sons applying for admission to this exam
nation should give the exact title, clerk
with knowledge of stenography or type
writing"
