the U.S. Civil Service Examiners, 
Post Office Building, Boston, on Oct. 
22d next. This examination will be 
open to any young man in the District 
of the required age desirous of enter- 
ing the competition, whether he has 
previously notified Congressman Gard- 
ner of his intention or not. 
The following isa copy of the letter 
which is being sent to the applicants, 
explaining the various details of the

etG.:

Dear Sir: 
On Tuesday, October 22d, I shall 
hold at 9.80 a.m., at the rooms of the 
U. S. Civil Service Commission, 142 
Post Office Building, Boston, Mass., a 
preliminary examination for applicants 
from the 6th Congressional District of 
Massachusetts desiring to fill the 
vacancies in the U.S. Naval Academy, 
and the U. S. Military Academy, 
which will occur in 1908. 
Any young man of good moral char- 
acter and appropriate age may take 
this examination, provided that he has 
been continuously a legal resident of 
this District since June1, 1906. A 
candidate becomes eligible for admis- 
sion to the Naval Academy on the 
day that he is 16, and ineligible on the 
day that he is 20. He becomes eligi-

< Sole Bathe fe Les ihe 
308 fifth Avenue, - - 
ble for the Military Academy on the 
day that he is 17 and ineligible on the 
day that he is 22. 
In making a selection I shall con- 
sider the qualifications of the candi- 
dates in the following respects: men- 
tal attainments, as demonstrated by 
the written examination ; physical de- 
velopment and health, as demonstrated 
by the medical examination ; previous 
mental and physical training; general 
aptitude for the duties of a Naval or 
Military Officer; moral character ; 
military antecedents ; general appear- 
ance. 
The maximum mark attainable will 
be 215, made up as follows: For the 
mental examination, 100; for the 
physical examination, 100; previous 
mental and physical training and gen- 
eral appearance, 9; military antece- 
dents 6, ee 
I reserve the right arbitrarily to re- 
ject any candidate, or to deduct from 
his total mark; but I shall not exer- 
cise this right without a good and suffi- 
cient reason. 
For the Naval Academy the regula- 
tions require me to recommend one 
principal and 1st, 2d and 3d alternates. 
If the principal fails of admission the 
opportunity falls in succession to the 
alternates, provided they pass the 
requisite mental and physical examina- 
tion prescribed by the Academy 
officials. 
For the Military Academy the 
regulations require me to nominate 
one principal and two equal alternates. 
If the principal fails of admission, the

The candidate who receives the 
highest mark at the preliminary ex- 
amination which I shall hold in 
October will be given the right to 
designate the Academy for which he 
prefers the nomination as principal. 
The candidate who receives the 
second highest mark will be offered 
two alternatives, namely: either the 
nomination as_ principal for the 
Academy not selected by No.1, or 
the nomination as alternate for the 
other Academy. The candidate who 
receives the third highest mark will 
have his selection of any nomination 
not previously claimed. The same 
course will be followed in the case of 
Nos. 4, 5, 6 and 7 on the list. 
At the preliminary examination on 
Oct. 22, 1907, stationery and ink will 
be provided ; but candidates must pro- 
vide themselves with pens or pencils 
as they prefer. The examination will 
be of about six hours’ duration, five 
and one-half hours for the mental 
tests and one half-hour for the physi- 
cal. The mental examination will con- 
sist of the following subjects: Arith- 
metic, Algebra, Geometry, United 
States History, World’s History,
