What New York^s Civil Service Commission says about The LEADER in its Annual Report, issued December, 1940: “The Commission welcomes the advent of a new Civil Service weekly paper of general circulation, The LEADER, which >>a9 founded in 1939. The LEADER is the first Civil Service news­ paper of general news-stantl sale which is not controlled 1)V former political office-holders. The founding of The LEADER under responsible auspices is an indication of the steadily ex­ panding public interest in civil service in the city, and is also an indication of the increasing demand for civil service news free from political taint, a characteristic unavoidable in pu*>‘ lications controlled by the political bosses.” C om plete details of aU exam s F ree question-answ er servic<* V ocational guidance by expei*t^ C hances for appointm ent Progress of exam rating M any other features
