Two examinations have been held d u r i n g the year, as follows: The December examination, December 2, 3, 4, 1907; t h e May examination, May 4, 5, 6, 1908. At t h e May 1907 examination, the r e t u r n s for which were received by t h e committee since t h e last a n n u a l report, 15 candidates were examined. Of these, four failed to h a n d in p a p e r s ; of t h e r e m a i n i n g 11, 5 were successful and received t h e i r certificates. At t h e December, 1907, examination, 9 candidates were examined, of whom 5 received t h e required m a r k s a n d were duly g r a n t e d certificates. At t h e May, 1908, examination, candidates were admitted in accordance with t h e a m e n d m e n t - t o the law, without t h e educational r e q u i r e m e n t specified in the original enactment. On t h i s account, it w a s deemed proper by t h e committee to hold examinations in Chicago and additional examinations in Peoria, Urbana, and E a s t St. Louis, provided five candidates should apply for examination a t any of t h e above places. I t was also t h o u g h t proper to advertise t h e examination, somewhat widely, and accordingly, notices calling attention to t h i s examination were inserted in newspapers having t h e widest circulation in the following places, n a m e l y : Bloomington, Danville, Springfield, Quincy, Decatur, Cairo, and Rock Island. Very few inquiries were received from candidates away from t h e immediate vicinity of Chicago, and no applications were received for examinations a t any of these outside points. At t h i s examination, 62 candidates were admitted. T h e r e t u r n s for t h i s examination a r e not yet in. Of t h e 62 candidates, 12 appear on t h e i r applications to have had a full high school education; of t h e remaining 50, 10 state t h a t they have had an equivalent. As your committee was not required to' investigate t h e educational qualifications, it is probable t h a t some of t h e l a t t e r class would not have been able to qualify u n d e r t h e provisions of t h e original law.
