PROPOSED CHANGE IN MARKING.
new Method Considered by the Civil
Service C0mmissiOn,

SeTNlcS SOmfn1Sa1On.
Ihe civil service commission is contem-
piatinS a new method in the system of
marking applicants who are examined for
positions In the classified service There
Is now no credit given any one who is thor
oughiy Versed in the methods of doing
government business when he goes before
the commission to enter into competitive
examination for service. The exceptions
are those which permit the reinstatement
OF government emplOye without examina-
.ion WITHIN one year from the date of
discharge, and the reinstatement of any
soloier or widow of a soldier without le-
gafd TO time limit. The former of these
exceptions was made for the purpose of
permitting the reinstatement of persons
whose discharge was the result Of mis-
understanding or error of some kind that
dld not relate to their efficiency The lat
ter exception was means Of acknowledg-
ing patriotic service rendered in the mill
tary branch Of the government
Tie commission is now considering means
FOR giving the credit in examination to
these who would enter the service thor
oughly equipped by experience to handle
government business according to estab-
lished customs. The proposition that has
been made. to permit this being done is to
allow % per cent in examinations for ef-
hciency in government office work. This
efficiency could be established either by a
reference to the records, by certificates
furnished by officials under whom the ap-
plicant has previously worked or by ex-
animation. The amount of credit allowed
applicants in their examinations for office
work would vary in each case. In in
stances where large part of their value
to the government would consist in their
thorough acquaintance with the govern
ments methods of doing business, the full
% per cent would be allowed. Where
such knowledge was of less value, 20, Is,
10 or per cent would be the amount of
credit for such ability.
If this change of the rules were to be
adopted 1t would meet one OF the conren-
tons of many of those who are opposed
to the civil service rules as at present ad-
ministered, and would allow considerable
number of ex-government employees to be
returned to the service. Many of those
who are opposed to the civil service rules
claim that the year limit for reinstatement
should be abolished and such reinstate-
ments be permitted at any time.
The commission does not take kindly to
this suggestion, as it is regarded as a
means of breaking down, to conside.a-
BILE extent, the administration of the spirit
of the civil service law. But it is recog-
nized that there is some Justice in the
claim that mans knowledge of the way
Of doing business in the government de-
partments would make him more valuable
to the government than another clerk who
might stand equally well with him in the
ordinary civil service eXau1ina tiOn

NJ. Michael, chief clerk of the State De-

Post. No. 3. is arranging a special feature
Of the ceremonies to be observed at the Ar

tended to have special services in honor
of the naval heroes Of the. war, and as Ad-
miral d. ID. Porter is the senior of all the

nature of an experiment, and If successful
will act as a precedent for the future. The
details of the program are not arranged,
further than that there shall be appro-
pirate music and addresses. Col. Michael

The Jewish passover and feast of
unleayened bread, began Saturday at
shutdown and will continue for eight
days. The period will be observed in
Ely by the Hebrew people as well as
in all other parts of the world wher-
ever they may be found.
The feast is based Oh the ancient
custom Of the IsraeIites to open the
harvest season with religious feast.
No one touched the new grain, not
even parched or fresh ears Of corn till
the frstSheaf had been presented 80
Jehovah, and then all FASTENED to
enjoy the new blessing Of divine good
ness by eating unleayened cakes, with
out Warrington the tedious process of
waiting for the fermenting of the
dough. This usage became fixed in
custom and new significance was
added to it by reference to the
exodus from Egypt, when, as tradition
ran. the people had no time to leaven
the dough III their troughs. A history
Of the passover is one of the most
complicated subjects in Hebrew
archaeology and has been great
battlefield of Pentateuch criticism.
The first and second and last days OF
the feast are the most important.
The passover is a sacrifice drawn from
the flock of herd at the sanctuary and
eaten with unleavened bread.
