CIVIL SERVICE
Care Taken in EXamnations-Rule Requiring Notice and
Filing of Charges Before an Employe Could
Be Dismissed Served No Good Purpose .

The civil service law has been on the
statute books Tor twenty-five years.
Every President and vast majority OF
heads of departments who have been IN
office during that period have favored
gradual extension OF the merit system
The more thoroughly It's principles
have been understood. the greater has
been the favor with which the law has
been regarded by administrative officers
Any attempt to carry on the great exec
utive departments of the Government
without this law would inevitably result
In chaos
The Civil Service Commissioners are
doing excellent work; and their compen-
sstion is inadequate considering the
service they perform.
The statement that the exarrina tions
are not practical in character is based
on a Misrepresentation of the practice of
the commission The departments are
invariably consulted as TO the require
ments desired and as TO the character
Of questions that shall be asked. Gen
eIal invitations are frequently sent out
TO all heads OF departments asking
whether any changes in the scope or
character OF examinations are required.
In other words. the departments pre-
NNAAbE AAlc AttAOJEt-AltuNS ana the Qudli-
fications desired. and the Civil Service
Commission co-operates with them in
securing persons with these quaIifica-
tiOns and insuring open and impartial
competition.
In 4 large number of examinations (as
for example. those for trades pOsitions)
there are 40 educational requirements
whatever. and a person who can neither
read nor write may pass with a high
average. Vacancies in the service are
filled with reasonable expedition and
the machinery of the commission. which
reaches every part OF the country. IS
the best agency that has yet been de
vised for finding people with the most
suitable qualifications for the various
Offices to be filled.
Written competitive examinations do
Lot make an IDEAL method for filing
positions. but they do represent an i'm
II, measurable advance upon the "spOils''
method. under which outside politicians
really make the appointments nominaIly
made by the executive officers, the ap-
pointees being chosen by the politicians
in question, in the great majority of
cases. Tor reasons totally unconnected
with the needs of the service or OF the
public
Statistics gathered by the Census
Bureau show that the tenure Of office
IN the Government service does not diff
