OFFICIAL DEBUT

Test Question for Civil

Service Candidates

THE Loch Ness monster can raise its head again, having found

official recognition in Whitehall.

For two years, from the summer of 1933, when its discovery was reported, the monster basked in a blaze of fame. Then it shyly withdrew.

It reappears in the papers for the world's stiffest examination for the Administrative Class of the Civil Service. Candidates were recently asked:

What do you consider to be the probable explanation of the Lock

A capital letter, and no inverted commas, were used for the monster,

whose existence is taken as och el. Only an explanation was re- quired.

DO YOU KNOW ? The question appeared in the ob- ligatory Everyday Selence paper. Others were:- At a New York terminus a door to the platform opens as you approach; it, and shuts behind you.
