Further evi- dence is found in the interest spring- ing up all over the country in ‘the de- velopment of this plan. “From all walks-of life .men are proffering their services. We have had to refusé many of our citizens the training they desired in prepara- tion for such service to their country as avaliable funds would not permit accommodating all.

Tigert, United Statés Com. missioner of Education, in his anhus) report for the fiscal year endng Juné 30, 1922, which was made public to- day. Assimilation of the foreign born, removal of illiteracy, adjust. ment of inequalities in .education opportunity, and inculcation of pro. per. ideals concerning . our form of Government are problems which; educational fbrees of the country must meet, and informed leadership in dealing with these problems is needed more than, ever before. The United Sfates Bugeau of Education is requiréd by law to promote the cause of education throughout the dountry, to be informed on all 's‘sb'— jects pertaining to education, and to disseminate, such information, gu: cording to the report. . . | b2 “The most casual investigation shows that some of ‘the Statés .ite more successful than others 'in Boly- ing the problems of publlc edugii tion,” :aiuylsl thse Commissionér. .

Of this amount one quarter, ap- proximately $700,000,000, is wasted annually due to the operation of the spoils system of appointment and promotion in the civil service. These statements made by Richard National ~ Civil Service Reform H. Dana, Boston, president of the League, in his speech before the forty-second annuai convention of the League, prefaced an appeal to public officials everywhere to support the League’s program for abolition of the spoils system and substitution of the merit system throughout the public service, Will Hays, former postmaster gen- ¢ral, was quoted by party liability. He emphasized the point that any flagrant use of patronage had always in the past lost votes for the party in power. “Let me ask the administration,” Dana said, “whether there is an- other issue it could now take up which would so appeal to the public at large and so rebound to its own credit in the history of the country.” Two methods may be employed, Dana asserted, to climinate the pres- ent wastage of tax funds in the civil service. The first is by turning e- fliciency and employment experts in- to the various departments of tre public service to weed out suprem- crary and incfficient employes, to dize work and modernize (Continted on page 6) nue is to be laid Sunday &fterndon.
