Wide Study
On Merit

Need for educating the public
in values of the merit system, as
the best method for eliminating
patronage in the Government
service. has been stressed by Civil
Service Commissioner Samuel
Ordway, jr., in his first public ad-
dress since taking office.
Speaking before the closing
banquet of the Civil Service AS
sembly in Ottawa, Ont, yester'
day, Ordway urged a campaign to
spread the knowledge that sal
walton in the face of inevitably ex'
banding Government lies only in
the perfection of the merit syS-
tenn"
MORE LIP SERVICE
Adding there has been an in.
crease of lip service to the merit
system in the last few years." the
successor to DR.. Leonard D. White
declared:
THE meaning of open compe-
tition and the nature of recruit
ment, the advantages and disad-
vantages of educational require
ments, the nature of training en-
ployes at work, and the nature
of personnel management are all
matters which must be understood
by the people"
with such education, legisla-
tors will continue to impose upon
the people, block the application
OF merit principles and sanction
patronage. The propaganda of
patronage is more detailed and
more appealing than the propa-
ganda of merit.
HOW IT WORKS OUT
When a politician states: This
little girl can fill any job anybody
else can fill. She has as big a
heart and head as anybody's," peo-
pie sympathize. We must also hui
mamie the propaganda of merit.
Ordway pointed out that the
press has become conscious of the
need for merit, but that editorials
outlawing spoils tactics are insult
ficient. He advocated an improve
ment of civics teaching in schools
and colleges, as one method of Sc.
curing greater public knowledge
of the problem.
