Public Service Courses  
Government service is offering an ever widening field of opportunity I
for the college trained man and woman. The last years have been a tre- 1
mendous increase in the number of civil employees. The complexity of our _
public problems and the rising demand for an efficient public service have  
` led to the demand for people qualified and trained for government positions.
Students interested in entering the Federal Civil Service through the
usual channel of the Junior Professional Assistant find a variety of types of
specialized preparation acceptable. For general administrative work a course
in public administration is essential. One major part of the Junior Profes-
sional Assistant examination, however, is based on general training and E
knowledge. For this general part of the Junior Professional Assistant ex- · (
aminatlon, a broad background in political science and the related fields of 1
social sciences will be helpful. For those desiring to enter specialized fields
of the public service in federal, state, or local government, combinations of F
courses across departmental lines can be arranged to supply the technical i
training desired. 2
