NEW WORK FOR CIVIL SERVICE.

NEW WORK FOR CIVIL SERVICE.
What will be next required of the
civil service employees in the various
governmental departments at theWhite
House? is question which is caus
ing much speculation in Washington
The news comes from the national
canital that the announcement on Sat
urday that a certain clerk of the pen
sion office had been detailed to assist
in social work" at the White House
for the season, is in its way one OF
the cutest sensations of the hour in
Washington. Indeed, it is creating al
most as much talk as the negro prob
lem and the probability of an extra
session of congress- A Washington
telegram says:
The fact that the clerk is detailed
to help society out is an executive act
of the deepest concern to both social
and official life in the national capital.
Society, of course, is interested to
know the young man who has thus
been signalized to come to her aid,
while the thoughtful citizen who has
been cherishing dreams of the efficacy
of the civil service is curiously agi-
tated by the fresh possibilities of
expansion the detail from the pen
sion Office has suggested. To what
extent will the opening Of wide and
brilliant vistas to the vision of ger
teel and agreeable youths who are
employed by the government as clerks.
impair or promote the efficiency OF
the service?
What it may be that will consti
tute the peculiar quail fcations of
clerk for social work" has not yet
been divulged. It may remain for the
civil service commission to frame a
schedule of questions and require
ments, but until that is done youths
elsewhere ambitious to walk into eX-
ecutive parlors to do social work
must remain in ignorance. 1t has
been no rare thing for clerk to be
detailed for special work outside
the department building in which he
has been for the most part engaged,
and he is sometimes transferred from
some department for clerical work
at the White House. but it is a dis
tinct. as we'll as progressive innova
for him to be detailed to assist i'll
social work" there.
This order detailing the pension
clerk for the continuous society stunt
at the White House in all possibility
should be followed by others which
will afford young men and women in
the departments opportunities to
prove their fitness for promotion in
and by grace of department. which
would assure distinction eminently
unique and uniquely eminent. 1t
