OFFICERS ENTITLED
TO KNOW FAULTS
Superiors Who Report De-
ficiencies Must First Give
Chance of Correction.

Apparent misinterpretation OF GER
tain requirements in the preparation
of Army efficiency reports has led
Adit Gen. Davis to Issue an official
circu'nr explaining the meaning OF
parag 1hs In controversy.
Paragrn r was incorporated In
the efficiency report, he says, to I'M
press upon reporting officers that
there Is imposed on them the impor-
tant duty "of Assis 'ng their subordi-
mates by instruction example. ETC., to
overcome their deficiencies and rem
der satisfactory and efficient service"
That is best accomplished, 1t is
stated by Gen. Davis, "by bringing
the officers deficiencies to his atten-
tion at the time they are observed
and by instruction. advice, or other
means, assist him, II possible, In
overcoming them"
Should Tell Of Faults.
att is manifestiy unfair" he says,
mot to acquaint an officer with his
failings, until the close of the re-
porting period. To impress that
upon reporting officers, the phrase
preferably at the time noted was
inserted In heavy. type in paragraph
s of the instructions. and the word
graph r of the efficiency report.
When an efficiency report which con-
tains unfavorable entries Is forward
cd to the next military superior, the
latter should observe whether or
formed Of his defieieneies. prior to
the rendition of the report and given
an opportunity to overcome them.
fkn tnA tno a "a
immediate military superior had not
done SO he should be called upon for
an explanation of his failure to per-
form properly the duty imposed upon
is not susceptible Of Improvement,
such as a lack of intelligence. for
example, 1t is of course unnecessary
to bring 1t to the attention of the
officer concerned.
Entries Of "Fact."
Paragraph 9 of the instructions
requires reporting officers to furnish
the officer reported upon a copy of
all unfavorable entries Of fact II
the reporting officer SO desires he
Of unfavorable entries of opinion.
However, he Is not required to do
SO and his military superiors are not
authorized to direct him to do SO.
nor are his military superiors author
ized to furnish to any ofhcer reported
upon copies OF unfavorable entries
OF opinion made on his efficiency re-
port.
1.-THE War Department desires that
reporting officers give their frank
and honest opinion as to the qualif-
cations and the character of service
rendered by their subordinates and
that such reports be regarded as con-
fidential. An opinion, favorable or
unfavorable. as expressed by a single
reporting officer relative to sub
ordinate is not accepted by the War
Department as correct unless corrob-
Grated. The general agreement of
opinions expressed Independently by
q number of superiors on a single
subordinate is what determines the
weight to be given any individual
opinion"
