Speaking Of the application or civil

The civil service method is much
superior TO the old system Under
the old system Of picking out a man
TO fiji a more important place than
he had been filling. there was plenty
Of room Tor dissatisfaction, and for
the belief that favOritism had played
some part in the promotion Under
the civil service system. 20 is mat
ter OF brains and ability. The re-
sponsibility rests upon the man him
self If he wishes to work and study.
the civil service examination is the
test Of his fitness for the promotion
he seeks. He is tried out with others
in a fair race, and IL he is beaten he
knows why
