Synopsis

Excerpt from The Civil Service Coach: A Practical Exposition of the Civil Service Curriculum and Guide to the Lower Division of the Service and Its Competitive Examinations

The purpose of this manual is to provide a practical exposition of the Civil Service curriculum, and to prescribe a fit and effective method of compassing its requirements. That curriculum is constituted by the excellent and appropriate scheme framed by the Civil Service Commissioners for open competitions for Clerkships in the Lower Division of the Service. With special regard, therefore, to these competitions, which admit to the great majority of Government situations, the design of this little work is projected.

Most other examinations, however, are modelled upon that scheme: since its adoption, indeed, nearly all Civil Service appointments have been conditional upon qualification in subjects which it comprises. Even the examinations for professional and scientific appointments, and for the Higher Division of the Service, include a preliminary test in certain of these Lower Division subjects. It is imperative, therefore, that candidates for any Government situation obtainable through open competition should be well acquainted with the subjects composing the Civil Service curriculum, set forth in the following pages.

The plan of this work is simple and direct. It dispenses with the statistical machinery from which former handbooks were chiefly manufactured.
