Excerpt from A Civil Service Manual, 1911, Vol. 2: English and Allied Subjects Including Plain Copy, Rough Draft, Copying and Correcting Manuscript, Punctuation, Comparison of Addresses, Letter Writing and Model Letters, Report Writing, Abbreviations, Stenography and TypewritingMuch time and energy is misspent by the one who seeks to refresh his memory by cramming through the ordinary text-book, and even then the discipline most needed has not been acquired. This has been so thoroughly appreciated by individuals endeavor ing to prepare themselves, and by large classes in public and private evening schools, correspondence schools, and associations, whose dependence was entirely upon their instructor's familiarity with the examinations, that there is a strong demand for a series of books which shall familiarize the applicant with the form and method of the examination, avoid the use of technical terms, and direct him in the study of only such matter as is necessary for his use.The series, of which this book is one, consists of three books, the first dealing with arithmetic, the second with English and allied subjects, the third with geography, railway mail, and spelling. These books are, as the name implies, published for the express purpose of meeting the demands Of Civil Service examinations, whether federal, state, or city, and, in the subjects treated, will be found to contain all material necessary to achieve the same success as has attended the many hundred members of our civil service classes in evening schools, for whose use this material was originally prepared.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
