Coaching Schools Have
No Inside Information
DURHAM, Nov. Id Dr. Frank
T. de Vyver, supervisor of merit
examinations for the North Caro
lina unemployment compensation
commission, issued the following
statement today : '
"My attention has been called to
advertisements by correspondence
schools and coaching schools who
purport to have 'inside information'
on the examinations to be given in
January. I do not know to what
extent these claims have been
made, or prtcisely how specific the
assurance of detailed knowledge
has been.
S). "I wish to make- it emphatically
clear, however, that no individual
find no group has been furnished
information not supplied to all ap
if A
Ni. ft
plicants. No .sample questions on
the examinations are available. The
fraudulent character of any claim
to 'inside i information' is made
doubly clear by the fact that the
examinations have not yet been
prepared. The research material
filed in the North Carolina li
braries consists of copies of the
laws and bulletins with which ap
plicants may be expected to be
familiar. This material does not
include copies of examinations or
sample questions. . ' . s
"This statement is issued as a
warning. The examinations will not
be prepared until December. Any
claims to inside information are
fraudulent and any money invested
in response to .such claims will be
wasted."
