Excerpt from The Assistant Engineer, Vol. 1: The Axeman
This series is designed for the young man who, desirous of making engineering in the Public Service his career, wishes to take a Civil Service examination. If successful, his name will be placed on the eligible list and he will in time see open to him the doors of a Government, State or City Department.
The plan of, this work is as follows:
The Assistant Engineer must know not only his duties but those of the men under his charge. Therefore each position is taken or each rung of the engineering ladder is ascended in turn beginning with that most easily obtainable, and. In. that work, are explained to the man occupying that position or striving for it.
1. The requirements for the Government, the State and County of New York, and the City of New York Civil Service, with the scope of the examinations, the ratings and questions given at previous examinations.
2 .The scientific requirements or what the candidate should know.
3. The technical requirements, or knowledge and use of the instruments, and duties in the field and in the office.
Although the requirements for the higher positions demand a knowledge of higher mathematics, the author has had the same experience as Mr. Wm. F. Shunk. In his long practice there had never come before him a question, which could not be satisfactorily solved by elementary mathematics.
It will be noticed that certain technical examination questions for a position may seem to belong properly to the grade next higher. This is due to the necessity where the examiners are placed of raising occasionally the standard of an examination in order to draw out the very best material among the always increasing number of applicants. We therefore recommend the prospective candidate to study a little further than would seem necessary.
