Gave q. S. 2O,1S1 Days.

The records of the Department of
Agriculture show that the employees
OF that department in one year gave
to the government 20.1S1 days of serv-
Ice which it was their privilege to take
as annual leave. This is an average of
33 days per person per year. That is
to say. the S,SSi employees in Washing
ton, who were privileged to take thirty
days annual leave. used on an average
only ai.S days each
The amount of sick leave used by
these employees is also worth noting,
IN view of the representation of Mr.
Borland that the sick leave privilege
is abused. The maximum allowance for
sick leave is fifteen days, which, only
in the discretion of the Secretary. may
be extended to thirty days. But the
1851 employees Of the Department of
Agriculture in Washington used on an
average only SIS days each.
The foregoing figures cover the
year 1916. which has been selected as
the most recent normal period.
