he. the famous author OF the Dockery

bureau he told them he was there to adj
minister the affairs Of the Office in a
businesslike way and that no efficient
employe need have the slightest anxiety
as to his future. inefficient or neglectful
employees. he told them. might expect in
the department just what they would get
In the business world
He added some humor to the occasion
by assuring his hearers that he was not
very strong for the man who changed
his politics with the administration. Men
who have been republicans, he said. he
expected to remain so. but even that
would not help them unless they were
efficient and faithful He dispelled some
mistaken notions about the Dockery

Huntington Wilson has spent the whole
of his manhood years in the diplomatic
service or in the Department of State.
1t was upon the basis of his experience
abroad and observation of the workings
of other foreign offices that he projected
and succeeded in effecting a-fadical re-
organization of the business methods
Of the Department of State, through
the sympathetic support of the then
Secretary Root, and afterward Secre-
tary Knox.
In addition to developing the theory of
division of the diplomatic bureau into
separate subbureaus, under experienced
diplomatists called in from the foreign
service. he was largely instrumental In
classifying the diplomatic and consular
service, and securing the adoption or
the merit system in promotions in those
services, regardless of political considera-
tons.
MI. Wilson entered the State Depart.
