o A SOLDIER was asked
to report to headquarters
for assignment.
The sergeant said: ‘‘We
have a critical shortage of
typists. I’ll give you a little
test. Type this,’’ he
ordered, giving him a
pamphlet to copy and a
sheet of paper, and
pointing to a desk across
the room that held a
typewriter and an
adding machine.
The man, quite reluctant
to become a clerk typist,
made a point of typing very
slowly, and saw to it that
his work contained as
many errors as possible.
The sergeant gave the
typed copy only a brief
glance.
‘‘That’s fine,' he said;
‘‘Report for work at 8
tomorrow.’’
‘‘But aren’t you going to
check the test?’’ the
prospective clerk asked.
The sergeant grinned.
‘‘You passed the test,’’ he
replied, ‘‘when you sat
down at the typewriter
instead of at the adding
machine.’’
