CIVIL SERVICE ISSUES WARNING Warns Against Mislead ing Information of Schools Washingtoq, D. C., May s.—The United States Civil Service commis sion has sent a notice to post offices, warning that misleading Information is being given the public by repre sentatives of some of the correspond ence schools which sell "civil service" courses. For a long time, the commission has been receiving complaints from different parts of the country which Indicate that opportunities for ob taining federal employment have been greatly exaggerated- It was made clear that no school has any connection whatever with the civil service commission or with any other branch of the government, and also that the commission has no agents who solicit applifatioris for civil service positions or ~ who sell "civil service" courses. No school can "guarantee" govern ment employment and none is given information regarding examina tions, or any other information, which is not available to the general public. The commission stated that it does not recommend, any school, and explained that it is not neces sary for anyone to take a course with a so-called civil service school in order to compete in a civil service examination. A special point was made of the (act that information coneerning ex aminations mr.y be obtained at any time, without cost, from the Secre tary of the Civil Service board at any first or second-class post office or from the commission's office in Washington, D.
