United States Civil
Service Commission

| The United States Civil Servic
Commission today issued it's semi
annual statement regarding the extern
of the Federal executive civil service
and reductions therein, as follows:
The Federal executive civil force ir
! the District of Columbia was reduced
by 1854 employees during the year
ended July 81, 1921, and by 1896
during the period from November II,
1913 to July 81, 1921. The reduction
throughout the United States, includ-
ing the District of Columbia, was
1864 for the year ended July 81,
1921 and more than 100000 during
the period from November II, 1918,
to July 81, 1921. The reductions con-
tinue steadily, but now, of course,
more slowly.
On June 3d., 1916, there were 3d.
259 employees in the District of Co
lunbia, and 4OO,539 in branches out
side the District of Columbia, making
the total on that date 439, 798. On No
vember II, 1918 at the height of the
war expansion, the number of en-
ployes in the District of Columbia
was 117,76O. Owing to rapid 1uctua-
tions at distant places of employment,
it was found impracticable to compile
strictly accurate figures for the force
outside the District of Columbia dur
ing the war period. AS near as can.
be estimated, the force outside the
District of Columbia numbered ap-
proximately 10000 on November II,
1918. This is a conservative esti-
mate, it is probably too low. Adding
the number in the District of Column
bia on that date, the approximate to-
tai number of employees on the date
the arrnistice was signed was OF, 100.
On July 81, 1920 there were 9O,559
Federal civil employees in the Dis
trict of Columbia and 6OO,557 in
branches outside the District of Co
lumbia making the total on that date
691,1 On July 81, 1921, there were
1866 employees in the District of
Columbia and 518,617 in branches out
side, the total on that date being 597,-
482.
All figures named include Federal
executive positions classified under
the civil service law and those not so
classified.

IMPROVE TIE SCHOOLS

Unless we as workers rear our chill
dren to be better prepared to face the
battles of life than we are, we have
failed TO do our duty TO advancing civ
ilization, end unless we provide the
proper facilities in which our children
may attain that advanced position,
we have not done our duty to them.
Those who toll for living probably
realize more than do others the neces-
sity for higher educs ton. They who
have been forced by lack of prope
schooling to grind away day after day
at some task that utilizes their ut.
most strength. and those who by THEN
limited education are deprived of the
comforts enjoyed by others look for
ward to the time when their children
will branch forth for themselves In
positions of trust and take their
places in society.
The city of Champaign has good
schools; bnt they should be better
They should be the best TO be had, but
they cannot become any better be
cause finances will not permit Teach
ers are poorly paid; additional build
ings are needed TO accommodate the
increasing population. and as q whole
the schools are practically at stand
still while civilization goes marching
on.
A week or so ago the voters had op,
portunity to remedy this condition. Al
the expense of a few paltry dollars,
they chose to ignore the most press
ing need of the community-good
schools---and registered their content
with present conditions, which are
bound TO grow worse unless the
proper relief is afforded. The voters
will be given another opportunity on
August ~ They should see to 1t that
our schools are provided with the
wherewith to- advance. They should
take enough interest in their children
to see that the proposed increased
tax levy is assured. They should dc
their duty 10 the community and pro
vide 1t with educational facilities
qeual to those enjoyed by other cities
This issue of The Review contains
an article prepared by the school
board of Champaign. 1t should be
carefully studied by every reader, and
every reader should go to the polls
with the determination to make II
possible for his children to obtain

the best education possible.
