mstely 100 on his present work.
There Is no appeal from the action of the
hoe rd. II chief of division thinks a GER
tan employee OF the bureau would make a
good trapeze performer and gives that en-
ploye a high mark on the belief the board
may take different view OF the matter
and cut down the mark OF eliminate 1t en-
tIrely factor in the total.
II IS of some additional interest that the
original markings are each on the basis
of 100, the total marking being then divided
by 100 and the individual results in each
case multiplied by 10000. This rather COM
pick arithmetical proposition is then re-
viewed by the board, with pencils and So
lrmnity. and the result announced.
Not Popular With Employees.
AS stated. the Galloway efficiency record
system is in an experimental stage. Incl
dentaliy. the details of the system are sup
posed to be a deep. dark mystery to the
uninitiated. DR.. Galloway declined to dis
cuss 1t, and Secretary of Agriculture VIII
son. when asked the other day by Star
reporter to give idea of what 1t was
like also refused. But the employees of the
bureau OF plant industry have good deal
to say about the system among themselves.
They discuss it with vgor. but their utter
auCes could scarcely be considered as en-
thuslastic. Briefly stated, they view the
Galloway system the most thoroughly
and Comprehensively idiotic scheme that
has shown its head in the vicinity of the
bureau of plant industry for long time.
The employees in other bureaus of the de-
partment also spend a good deal OF time
talking about the Galloway system, and
from their comments it is quite apparent
that they do not care to have more inti-
mate acquaintance with Its details. some
of them fear they might fall down in the
something else" line.
