MAY PLACE PoSTMAsTERs
 UNDER CIVIL SERVICE
One of Most Important Matters to Come Before National Civil Service Reform League.

The most interesting matter, proba- bly, and certainly oSe that everyone interested In governmental affairs will be desirons of hearing thoughtfully discussed. that will come before the annual convention of the National Civil Service Reform league which will meet December :. is the important topic of the effort which is to be directed towards the including of all postrnast- CTS including even those in the first, second and third classes are not under civil service provisions and have never been although the law has cov- cred the less important offices for many years.
 This important topic is one of those slated for consideration in the new program of the league for its future work and it is expected the New Ha- ven session will be an epoch making one in the progress of the work, Among other things. the new programme of the league provides for the investi- sation and research into conditions in The federal service which will bring to light the very best methods of checking the relative efficiency Of em- ployes in the government service.
 A criticism often Ieveled at the civil service system today is that it fills the government service with dry rot" If it is granted that the system of appointments now in vogue for cler- ical and other minor positions is bet ter than tAe old spells system, the question remains, how can 'dry rot'' be completely elipinated? How can the public be assured that once it has secured the appointment of the most fit" only the ''most fit' shall stay in office? A
 The answer to these questions is to establish in the civil service an ade- quate system of efficiency records which will enable the proper official to know at glance where and when inefficiency exists.
 The enlarged program of the league will be discussed at length at the meeting of the council of the League to be held in New Haven on Dec. 4 the day before the annual meeting.
