Superintendent Porter expects in a
short time to have 100 clerks engaged
on the preliminary work of the eleventh
census. He will have 1000 at work
next year, but the smaller number will
serve until the actual work of enumera-
tion is-nearer at hand. He says that
he does not intend to appoint his clerks
under the civil service rules if he can
help it, and he does not believe the
secretary of the interior will interfere
with him in this. He intends, he says,
to appoint his subordinates as he would
in anewspaper office, according to their
fitness for special lines of work, and it
is fair to say that he seems to have fol-
lowed this policy in the few appoint
ments already made.
