Dubois, Wyoming, March 1, 1911. Dear Professor Musselman : After leaving your school I spent a short vacation at home. I then came west to Seattle, and after seeing the sights for a few weeks, I decided to take a civil service examina- tion to determine what I had learned at the old G. C. B. C. and the result is that I was the only one in the state of Washington that passed out of the fifteen who took the examination. I immediately received an appointment as forest clerk, requiring the knowledge of both bookkeeping and stenography. My salary is $1100 a year as a starter. I will ne :r fail to speak a good word for the old G. C. 3. ' ' . T -itati no experience whatever in either bookkeeping i shorthand before taking the civil ser- vice examination, but I have had no difficulty whatever with nv ,vork. Wis ' iing you continued success, I am -Sincerely yours. S. H. AXMEAR. Civil Service Examinations HAVE you ever wondered how the United States government secures the multitude of clerks needed to conduct its business affairs? Did you know that the majority of these clerks were selected by competitive examination? Did you know that for the year ending June 30th, 1910, 1482 young men and 367 young women passed their examinations and were appointed to positions? Did you know that the salaries of these young men and women range from $800 to $1800 per annum? The extract given below plainly shows the need of our government for well trained stenographers and bookkeepers. (Quincy Herald, Feb. 1. 1911.) UNCLE SAM NEEDS HELP Room Now for Small Army in Civil Service From the number of examinations ordered by the United States civil service commission, it seems that Uncle Sam has need for a small army of capable and efficient men and women in the various departments of the government service. Young men and young women who have to get out in the world and hustle for themselves will find con- genial places to start with. And as one gets more experience, more proficient and useful, the salary in- creases until the maximum amount is paid. But to get on Uncle Sam ' s payroll one must be able to fill the position he applies for and must fill it satisfactorily. Usually those who get fair marks on their examinations have very little trouble in giving entirely satisfactory service. A large number of young people from Quincy have obtained positions at Washington and other points in the past year or two and they like the service so well they expect to continue in it indefinitely. How- ever, it is not easy to get enough people who can fill Uncle Sam ' s requirements to keep filled the hundreds of places, so examinations are held at frequent intervals to obtain new material. Each year a large number of our students take and pass the civil service examinations — later receive appointments and become the employees of the United States. They are successful in their work, for they have been properly trained. We make a specialty of preparing young men and women for the civil service. GEO. A. SCHATTENBUEG Stenographer and Bookkeeper Civil Service UNITED STATES FOREST SERVICE Missoula, Mont., Jan. 10, 1911. Dear Professor Musselman : I came out here from Chicago several months ago, and accepted an appoint- ment to the U. S. forest service, at this place. I like the work and the country very much. The forest department is now getting to be quite an important, department to the U. S. government, and it is certainly interesting work. Very truly yours, GEORGE A. SCHATTENBURG. Mr. Arthur Hageman, of Quincy, Illinois, recently took the government examination for stenographer and typewriter, and a short time ago was notified that he had passed and been appointed to a position at East St. Louis. He has taken up his work and is doing nicely.

Group Picture of Kansas and Iowa Students WE TAKE PRIDE in presenting the above group pictures of students from Kansas and Iowa. The number from these states is large each year, and it comprises an excellent class of young men and women. The above picture does not include all of the students in attendance from these states during the past year, but those only who were in attendance in March of 1910, A large number of young people from these states have attended the Gem City Business College during the past third of a century. Scores of whom are now successful business men and bankers, not only in their home states, but in other parts of the Union. We hope that many more young people from these r.vo great states may decide to secure a business or shorthand educti n in the Gem City Business College, and we assure them tint they srill meet with success as others from their states have done.
