proved selection of new material,
and elimination of inefficients.
with a net result of better and
more economical service to the

More adequate control of per-

application throughout the service
of the best personnel policies thar
can be developed after study OF
the most advanced methods found
under either public or private
management.
/ More equitable treatment Of
employees should insure equal sal
aries for equal work and broader
opportunities for advancement.
Examinations and tests for the
selection OF entrants to the serv-
ice should be improved further by
research and investigation 30 as
to enhance their predictive value.
These tests are the scales in
which is weighed the ability the
Government is TO purchase. and
they should be standardized with

that about half look for better

There Is just about as much

ing the probable trend Of gen.

Management counts. For

And already it has been put on

The same management took

after that institution had been
unable to distribute any divi-
dends for many years. The

have jumped from less than

AT WATERW0RKS
A. c. McFernsworth Of St.

Work on the installation Of the new

today with the arrival of A. c. Nc
Fernsworth, verector for r. B. Whit
acre & Co., OF st. Paul. and two as
sAtants. Mr. Fernsworth conferred
with City Clerk A N. Briggs this
morning regarding the matter.
The estimated cost of the new

at $500. It was stated.
Although all the material for the
new pump has not yet been received
here enough has arrived to permit
the beginning Of the work, it was
stated. This morning vas septn} in
checking up material.
The installation Of the new pump
ing system was authorized by the city
council some time ago. The matter
was first considered by the council
men in 1920 but the high price Of ma
terials. at the time caused the retec-
ton Of the project. :
Since that time two factors, the
high price Of coal to produce steam
heat. and a breakdown suffered by the
large steam pump used at present,
have coused the city councillors to re-
consider and decide to put In the
electric apparatus. according to the
city clerk.
High coal prices and the estimated
cost OF repairs for the present pump
make the purchase of'the new pump
cheaper in the long run, it was added,
The electric pump will serve as q
supplementary machine to the present
pump, to be brought into use in case
the steam pump goes entirely out Of
border, declared Mr.. Briggs.
