In its report, the committee endors-

all students employed on the School

opportunity and required to work for
the wages which they are paid.
Mr. Kellam reported that at the pre-

students, In Texas secondary schola.
These students work under' supervi-

ed to a maximum of $6 a month.
The County Placement committee
a system devised by the Texas NIA
to obtain local recommendation con-
cerning allocation of funds for School

i positions in the staff of the Texas
State Employment Service will be in-
terviewed May 17 to June 4 by special
examiners, it was announced today
by Prof. J. Alton Burdine of the Uni-
versity of Texas, supervisor of th*
merit system used by the state ser-
vice.
Only those candidates who success-
fully competed in written examina-
tions early last March for position*
in the service will be admitted to th*
oral tests, Prof. Burdine said. Except-
ed from oral examinations are candi-
dates for the position of stenograph-
er. Dictation, transcription, and typ-
ing tests were given them March 6,
1937
Burdine announced that the follow-
ing officials have been designated to
examine orally candidates for posi-
tions in the Texas service: O. D. Hol-
lenbeck, director of the Veterans’
Placement Service of the United Stat-
es Employment Service, Washington;
Martin F. Carptenter, director of the
R. C Patterson, superintendent at

aoftball team will have a chance to
gain a two game lead over the La
Salle team this week as they play
Washington two games, tonight and
Thursday, and the scheduled game
between Clements and La Salle team
has been postponed until later due to
the commencement exercises being
held Friday night. o
At the present time the Jaycees
and the Cafemen' are tied for first
place in the league with four wins
and one loss. Should Washington
continue to make as many errors in
the field as they have made in some
of their recent games they will be
very hard to put to win either of the
games from the Jaycees. It they have
overcome this difficulty since their
last appearance here they may live
up to pre-season dope and have one
of the strongest teams in the lea-
gue.
In every game played, except the
first one, Washington has out hit
their opponents, but while doing this
have made 42 miscues to 18 for their
opponents.

Austin, May 18—The State NYA
School Aid committee, representing
2,182 individual Texas schools which
have participated this year in the
School Aid program of the National
Youth Administration, commended
the program and requested that it be
continued on its present scale at its
meeting last week. The formal report
■is now prepared by John P.
Manning, Robstown superintendent
and chairman, for presentation to J.
C. Kellam, State directpr of the NYA.
The committee, appointed last Feb-
ruary by State Superintendent L. A.
Woods at. the request of the National
Youth Administration, surveyed the.
School Aid program and agreed upon
a report The committee also adopt-
ed a resolution commenting Lyndon
Johnson, who resigned as State NYA
director and was elected to Congress
from the Tenth Texas district, for
his able leadership.
Another resolution passed enthusi-
astically approved the eelection of J.
C. Kellam to be State director, and
commended the NYA State Advisory

Burdine said that 3,578 persons filed
4,773 applications for this year's ex-
aminations, many of them wishing to
take examinations for more than on*
position. A total of 2,269 aplications
were rejected Because the applicant’s
education and experience did not meet
the minimum requirement defined by
the United States Employment Ser-
vice.
In grading applicants, four factors
are considered; education, type and
amount of experience, written test
grade, and oral interview rating. The
final average must be 70 or above
to give an individual a place on an
eligible list from which subsequent
appointments to the state service are
made, Burdine explained.
The competitive examinations are
being given in Texas for the second
time. They were first given to ap-
proximately 3,600 candidates in Au-
gust. 1935, and from the resulting
eligible lists the State Employment
Service selected its staff. Depletion
of existing eligible lists in the near
future required repetition of the ex-
aminations.
A total of 228 examinations were
given last March in Abilene; 170 in
Amarillo; 251 in Austin; 889 in Dal-
las; 97 in El Paso; 372 in Fort Worth;
401 in Houston; 225 in San Antonio. A
