Do You Want ToBe
BogaIusa Postmaster

To fill the vacancy in the position
Of postmaster in this city, the United
! States Civil Service Commission has
announced, at the request of the
postmaster general, an open connect
/ tive examination on September Il, IN
3cgalusa.
To be eligible for the examination
an applicant must be citizen of the
United States, must actually reside
within the delivery of this postoffice,
must have so resided at the time the
present vacancy occurred, must be in
good physical condition, and must be
within the prescribed age limits.
While the Civil Service Commits
sion is charged with the duty of test
ing applicants for positions of post
master at offices of this class, such
positions are not classified under the
civil service law, being filled through
nomination by the President for the
confirmation of the Senate. How
ever, the President is using the civil
service machinery for the purpose Of
selecting the nominees, and issued an
executive order on March 81, 1917,
which provides for such procedure.
In the examination for the local
postoffice, applicants will not be re-
quired to assemble in an examination
room for scholastic tests, but the
Civil Service Commission will rate
them on their education, which will
have a weight Of 20 per cent, and
their business training and expert
ence, which will have weight of 80
per cent. The basis for these ratings
will be the applicants own sworn
statements in his application and
corroborative evidence. Before MAX
ing the ratings a personal investi-
cation of each applicant will be made
in the community by two representa-
tives Of the Civil Service Commission
to corroborate the statements of the
applicant and to develop information
as to his personal characteristics and
his business ability and experience.
All Of the evidence secured will be
referred by the Civil Service Com
missions agents to a board of *
aminers of the commissions force
at Washington, and that board will
determine upon the evidence before
it the relative or1er of the candi-
dates and their judgment will repre-
sent the judgment of trained exam
liners as to his ability to conduct a
postoffice as shown by his educa-
tional qualifications, his former man
agerial experience and his demon
strated efficiency. The result of the
examination will then be referred to
the Postoffice Department for its ac-
ton in accordance with the Presi-
dents order. The postmaster gen.
eral is required by the order to sub
nit to the President the name of the
highest eligible to fill the vacancy,
unless it is established that the char
acter of residence of such applicant
him for appointment.
Full information and application
blanks may be obtained from the sec
rotary of the local board of civil SER
vice examiners at the postof eice, or
from the United States Civil Service
Commission, Washington, D. G.
