THE INCENTIVE TO WORK,
Boston Postmastership Raises q
Civil Service Question.

From the Boston Globe
The question Of who is to be post
master of Boston has raised an Issue
Of more than local Importance. For
it involves policy which means
either the nourishment or the blight
of individual initiative In industry.
For the past year tho Boston post
mastership has been vacant. But tho
done and ably done. by Acting POST
master Hurley. Mr.. Hurley has been
In tho postal service more than twen-
ty years. He began as letter car
rier. He was made assistant post
master by the late Postmaster MUIR
ray.
When It was announced that tho va
cancy would be filled by civil service
appointment, Mr.. Hurley took the ex-
animation. The civil service has
nation papers by awarding percent
ages for various qualifications. One
of these percentages Is awarded for
previous experience In the capacity
Of business executive. OF course.
Mr.. Hurley's twenty years of postal
ence IN ordinary business. but he has
had ample experience of the sort
within the department itself. The
result. however. Ia that his rating in
tho examination Is only 60 per cent.
Tho trouble Is that the civil service
makes no adequate allowance OF ex-
ecutivo experience in tho postal serv-
Ice. and that Its percentages are not
sufficiently based on the Idea of pro-
motion,
This is a serious mistake, 1t is the
kind of error which prompts an em-
ployer to go out and comb the by
ways and hedges for a man to fill a
vacancy In responsible position, ard
pass over the iikeliest eandidate-the
man NEXT in line In his own ehen.
Tho effect of this In any establish
ment Ia demeralixing. The theory of
employment Ia, or ought to be, that
once man has proved his ability he
VIII be moved up just az fast as va
camel les occur. And whether this the
ory is acknowledged by the concern
or not. II Is the hope which lives in
the mind of every empioye who gives
the matter thought, as all of them
necessarily must,
There Is no intent to insist on this
or that appointment to the postmas-
tership of Boston,; but all of us
Vltally concerned with the quality of
tho postal service. and to reject on
sfoundH which seem insuffici ent,
cafA1 idate who has earned his way up
through the ranks will be a discour=
agement to every postal empieye. just
as the appointment of IA former letter
carrier to the head of a great post
Office would carry an encouragement
which would be bound TO improve the
quality of the postal service wherever
that news was known. And such
news would certainly travel
Furthermore, the example would be
of value in a far wider area tfran the
