Under the Detroit civil service system of grad

or fail miserably depending upon the whim of an
examiner. This, coupled with the fact

Two discoverable by the examiner-as dis

that often the examiner is in position to give the
job to any candidate he wishes to favor.
Thus the influence of department head friend or
other interested person. when brought to bear civil serv
ice personnel can readily swing the result of competition
The applicant seldom knows much about the system
under which his paper will be graded-despte Chapter H.

the Very Rev. Msgr. Thomas G.
Smyth when the church first started
as mission of ST. AIMS Church
in 1910 At that time Msgr. Smyth,
! who was raised to the rank of mon
signor in November, 1898, had just
been transferred from st. Stephens
Church to become pastor of St
AIMS. Shortly after his transfer
he was asked by James Cardinal
Gibbons to start a mission in Chevy
Chase
Msgr Smyth's first mass was held
/ in the Chevy Chase Library in
April, 1910. There were approx
mately SO people present. The
pastor recalls that transportation
! for him was arranged by Miss
Cole Cummings. member of the
/ original Catholic family in this
vicinity.
| The desirability of changing this
arrangement was soon recognized
and meeting was held in the home
Of Mrs. Isabelle Ridgway on Graf
ton street to remedy the situation
by raising funds for a chapel and
rectory. A committee was appoint
ed to select the site for the pro-
posed buildings 1t was composed of
James A. Smith, Judge William De
Lacy, Andrew j. Cummings, Harvey
Dyer, Michael Mess and DR.. James
D. Morgan. Outcome of their
efforts was the selection of the
present church site
Work on chapel was begun from
plans drawn by Mr.. Hester in April.

of the parish. Meanwhile, the pa

where Msgr. Smyth needed an as
sistant to help him meet the prob
lens of attending to both ST. AIMS
and the new church. Father John
Smyth, then professor of homiletics
at the Apostolic Mission House,
Catholic University, helped the pas
tor with his work
The next step was to build a rec
tory for the pastor, who travelled
between Tenleytown and the parish
in small automobile A dance at
the Willard Hotel and a bazaar,
among other affairs, provided the
capital for this purpose. The new
rectory was completed April "a 1921
and with that the Shrine of the
Blessed Sacrament became an in
dependent parish with a resident
pastor. Committee members for the
reCtory were M A Mess. c. w

In June, 1923, plans were made TO
build three classrooms onto the
chapel, with the school opening in
September that year with 81 chill
dren. There are more than TOO
children in the school today.
Steps were next taken toward
raising funds for the church. Joseph
McReynolds gave check for 81 900.
He said, See if you can get some
one to match that" Many did, and
not long afterward a committee
consisting of Albert E. Berry, Judge
James A. Smith. j. B. Bowling, DR..
j. Ryan Devereux and w. C. Sulli-
van was appointed to choose an
architect. They selected Maginnis
& Walsh of Boston. In September,
1924, the cornerstone was laid by
Bishop Thomas j. Shahan, rector of
Catholic University, and on Novem-
Der 2, 1927 the Most Rev. Michael j.
Curley, Archbishop of Baltimore,
dedicated the shrine.
Some of those whose efforts have
stood out in the early years include,
in addition to those already named,
Mrs. Mary Kelley, for more than Is
years organist; Miss Kitty Kelley
and Tom Slattery, members of the
choir, and Michael Mess, first parish
secretary. Other parish secretaries
who gave amply of their time were
