FOREWORD 
The purpose of this book is to provide helpful suggestions 
to men and women in every county of the United States who are respon¬ 
sible for selecting young men for the Civilian Conservation Corps♦ 
It is designed as a companion to the bulletin entitled, "Standards 
of Eligibility and Selection for Junior Enrollees of the Civilian 
Conservation Corps," and is to be used only in conjunction with that 
document. Whereas "Standards of Eligibility and Selection" contains 
mandatory regulations which must be applied uniformly in the adminis¬ 
tration of CCC responsibility, by contrast "The Selection Process" 
contains suggestions as to method to be developed in a manner appro¬ 
priate to the State or local agency concerned. 
Out of the experience and initiative of selecting agents 
in all parts of the country have come many of the ideas that are con¬ 
tained in this book. The Division of Selection, which prepared this 
document, wishes to acknowledge its indebtedness to those selecting 
agents in the various States who have originated and pioneered new 
methods of operation which are described herein. 
It is hoped that this book may be helpful in carrying for¬ 
ward the very important responsibilities in which more than 4,000 
State and local CCC selecting agents are engaged.
