C. S. Civil Service Course I again took the examination and passed with an excellent rating, receiving my appointment in Washington in less than thirty days after being notified of my grades. “It was largely on the strength of my knowledge, received from the I. C. S. course, that I passed the Civil Service examination and was appointed to a position in the Government service. I feel a knowledge such as the I. C. S. teaches is needed by all who contemplate passing the Civil Service examinations, and making a success in Government work.” AUBREY B. CARTER, Secretary to the Comptroller of the Currency, Washington, D.C. Farmer Becomes Railway Mail Clerk “When I enrolled for a Civil Service Course with the I. C. S. I was a farmer, and my earnings were very uncertain. Your course made it possible for me not only to pass the competitive examination, but to give a good account of myself by rendering satis- factory service. As a result of the course I became a Railway Mail Clerk, and my salary at this time is $210 a month.” C. J. ADAMS, Selma; Alabama. Secured Position Quickly _ 7 “After taking your Civil Service Course I tried the examination on May 15.
