A Scientific Reconstruction of
Government Employees Work
ing Conditions Is Needed
By EARL GOODWIN.
Employees Should Be Allowed To Meet With the Administrative
Officials Discuss Wages and Conditions

NOW is the time for Congress of the United States
to give full consideration to the reconstruction of the civil
service and to throw away all Of the ideas
concerning Federal employment.
Thousands of Government clerks in the city of WASH
ington TODAY working under conditions founded in
the period of reconstruction following the CIVIL WAR
Now that are entering upon period of world-recon
sructon following world war; this Government should
turn to its own houseeeaning with will and with no
meager and misery spirit
principle finding favor is that in the discussions
of working conditions and wages the employer and the
poye should have equal representation in the argument
The United States Government should recognize this prnc
pie and create representative salary board which
would be administrative officials employees and perhaps
representatives of the public at large.
Administrative officials throughout the Government
departments at Washington fully of the need for
1913 model salary scale and have unanimously and enhn
sasticaly approved recommendations for change But
the employees of the Government rightly feel that they too
should have important part in outlining the conditions
under which they will work
This Government is capable of establishing the best in
everything When turned its attention to war; put up
a machine which defed betterment Moreover, it
established compensation system In the risk nsur
plan which shows that for fair play this Government

its employees work.

parties and carried platform pans should become

should be set down the first principle and the details
worked out afterward. Employees should have voice in
the reconstruction plans.

Some one had asked the dues-

sion was Immediately precipitated.
Everyone had a different ideal.
But all were agreed on a few es-
sentials.
To each home was sort OF
city Of refuge. a place to retire
into and be thoroughly comfort
able-the one spot on earth where
you could do exactly as you
pleased and be wholly yourself.
At this stage of the discussion
a bride who was present shed a
few tears. She said that, although
her husband was quite perfect, he
was nevertheless awfully queer in
one particular. and this was that
he had a marked aversion to home
life. His ideal of true enjoyment
was "mine ease in mine inn" A

Hall Of Fossils.
You have but to step into another
adjoining corridor or aisle Of the
great Hall~of the Fossils in order
to find yourself brought millions OF
years forward in the general story
of the creation Of terrestrial life,
for now you are surrounded by
representatives OF the mighty fam
lily of the vertebrates, the animals
with backbones. The fishes were
the first notable vertebrates, the
first great upward step toward
man, and there, in their rocky
tombs, you will see fishes OF the
old Devonian age, some Of which
look, as far as their bones and
general shape are concerned, as II
they might have been gathered
from the trash dumps Of a "sea-
food" restaurant.
The backbone was a capital in
vention, and when once it had been
made the multiplication of the
forms of life became rapid and
marvellous.
But the early chapters of every
history, like those of a novel, are
often a little wearisome-let us,
then, make a sudden great stride
by passing through the corridor
where the huge dinosaurs, the Ju-
rassic and Cretaceous monsters
reign, and soon TO the big masto-
dons. who came so late in geologic
time that the first men, the veri-
table Adams, may have seen them,
and perhaps learned to kill them
by matching intelligence against
brute force.
You will surely pause long be-
fore the American monster, the
''stegosaurus."
Then you will turn to the aston
ishing, lifelike reproduction OF tn,
animal in an adjoining case, for
the modern paleontologist can
more than match the scientific
miracle of Cuvier, who was able
TO reconstruct an extinct fish from
a single bone. The sight of that
unparalleled beast will last long in
your dreams.
By this time you can imagine
the museums great value.

little girl she had a beloved doll
which she jealousy guarded.
Other children were never allowed
to slay with it. She made it many
elaborate garments and took it
out to get the air, always care
fully protecting it from the rude
and sometimes dirty hands Of her
admiring and eager companions.
When she grew up and married
her house took the place of the
doll, and it, too. was not to be
touched. There seemed to be all
manner of invisible signs about
Keep off the furniture!" Don't
walk on the carpet"
The notable ,housekeeper looked
at you suspiciously when you en-
tered, as if she suspected you of
bringing in mud. The very furni-
ture seemed to partake Of her dis
trust. The chairs said. admire
me, but don't sit on me-" The
books cried out, Don't pick US up:
you will disturb our prim order"
You wouldn't have dared to look
out of the windows, because you
might have disarranged one of the
just-so folds Of the curtains.
She didn't encourage visitors,
because people disturbed the per-
feet clockwork order of this me-
chanical toy she called home.
Women always wanted tea or
candy and were certain to drop
crumbs on the floor. And men
we're especially .unwelcome. The
few who ever came we're always
uncomfortable. There was some
thing in the very atmosphere of
the place which warned them that
they would be shot at sunrise If
they dared to smoke.
And although this notable
.housekeeper had apparently got
everything she wanted. she was
not happy. Her husband by a
course of long naRging was fairly
well trained, but she lived in ter

moment he might throw news

And then, by the irony of fate,
she had n son instead Of tidy

girl whose mother was such a bad
housekeeper that she in self-de-
