The Board of s hopes th.,_t The United States Civil Service Commission states that on May 7, it will hold throughout the country examinations for junior engineering positions in various branches of the civil service. The examinations em. brace most of the leading specialties in the field of engineering. The magnitude of the engineering work of the Government is indicated by the fact that it employs approximately 2,000 civil engineers alone. All told, the Federal Government employs in civil positions in the neighborhood of 8,000 engineers of various kinds. Each year, hundreds of recent graduates are appointed. The Commission states that the Water Resources Branch of the Geo- logical Survey will appoint 50 junior hydraulic engineers, and the Bureau of Public Roads will apoint 20 junior hi ghway engineers. Most branches of the Government service emp.ioy at least a few engineers of some kind.
