Merit is the key to state positions

L." said w. b. Moulton of Chicago
| president of the Illinois state civil ser
vice commission which paid its first
visit of inspection TO WATERFOWL hos
pital yesterday. Our work viii be to
determine policies for the institutions
of the state as well as the adoption of
classification standard by which the
help for these charitable institutions is
chosen All employees are TO be classi-
! fed and we have determined practical
| ly on several classes.
These classifications are medical
service, clerical, nursing. teaching.
skilled labor. unskilled labor. miscel-
laneous service including employees not
| in other classes. There are II insti-
tutions in the state 10 be included in
the workings of the civil service com
| mission.
| Aim at Uniformity.
THE purpose of the plan is TO get
TO some uniformity. No two institu-
tons are operated alike. We began
our work at Jacksonville and today
visited Peoria and will continue until
we have visited every charitable insti-
tuition in the state. We are seeking
light from all quarters before we an
nounce definitely what the method of
operation will be.
There is a need for the restoration
of public confidence We want the PEG
pie TO regard our state charitable inSti
tutiOns as hospitals. not asylumS. The
public has the wrong idea entirely and
sometimes am inclined to believe that
people consider a hospital as bad as
q penitentiary. The people should real
ize that a state hospital is the best
place for a patient who betrays signs OF
mental weakness. If they are placed
in these hospitals as soon as the all
ment is noted. or at, least within six
months or year, so per cent OF tho
cases would be cured.
| There is a disposition today to wait
until the cases become chronic, then
send the patients TO the asylum when
there is no chance TO aid them. If we
can break down this prejudice against
state hospitals we will be doing a good
work, and one way to do this, in our
opinion, is to rid the state charitable
institutions of the odium attached to
the word asylum. and further place the
management and personnel of the in
situations above politics and on a good
sound business basis. Let merit win
and merit alone. Politics should cut nc
figure in the new era of state charita
BILE institution affairs.
Present Employees Not Affected.
THE present employees are not at
fected, but after the first of the month
the superintendent gets his help from
the commission. We will be prepared
with eligible lists of those who have
successfully stood competitive exam
