Ono was a lady who had served the. ‘Treacury Depart: jment faithfully for over twenty-two years; she received from the head of her bureau and j from her chief a very high mark for general efficioney, and se bad the reputation in her office of being an accurate and conscientious clerk, Her work in the examining room was of such a character that it could not have been ignored. | _ “The clerks who received the promotions to $1,400 bad cack served over twonty-cight sears | and their efficiency records wore very high. The academic part of their examination was Te | marked on ut the time as excelient. The pro- motions to 1,200 went to all who compete and the eligible list is exhausted. The register expressed himself at the time as pleased at | the $1.200 promotions and would have recom- | mended one of the candidates for promotic under any system by reason of that candi- ate's peculiar qualifications for special work. | “The candidate for class 4 (1.300) who stood at the head was not given the place for | the reason that she hed been promoted « few | weeks before to $1,000, and understood at the time that she must waita yoar. The rule was adopted by Secretary Foster in order that motions should be more fairly distribated. The Promotions have ail poen within the rules, and satisfied that when considered with all conditions included that the President's wish has been complied with in every respect. ‘The register says that 50 per cent of com- titive results should be based upon the mark Foreficiency and not on. the academic part. In reply to this it can be suid that when beads of bureaus will not mark their clerks practically the same then the promotions can be based almost wholly on euch records, but when a dozen clerks are given the same mark who shall decide which to promote? | The only answer is that when all in a group have the same efficiency mark that an se tar test must enter. I am satisfied that in time all Promotions may be made on daily records, by which clerk may promote himself. 1 wish to call the attention of Tux Stax to the opinions of other heads of bureaus.” VIEWS OF OTHER OFFICIALS, The second suditor in his annual report said: “In compliance with the directions of the President of the United States, dated Decem- ber 4, 1891, and the orders of the Secretary of the Treasury, dated December 24, 1891, there bas been kept ‘an efficiency record of all per- sons in the classified service, with a view to| placing promotions wholly upon the basis of merit.” "This record shows how each person | stands as to daily punctualty and attendance and the monthly average efliciency of each. ‘The elements of efficiency are punctuality, tendance, industry. accuracy, aptitude, Con- | duet and ability. “The record has been kept justly and impartially, and affords conclasive | evidence of the high standing of the clerical force. (On July 1, 1892, the Secretary's orders of Decomber 24, 1891, were so far modified ax | | to uire that the monthly average efficiency ball be determined bs punctuality, attendance, e juct, industry and ability.) ‘Several competitive cxaminations for promo- tion were held between January 1 and June 30, and it ix gratifying to be able to report that the resuit reflected great credit upon those who were examined. My only regret is that there were not vacancies enough in the higher grades |to reward all those who proved themselves worthy of promotion.” The chief of the bureau of engraving and printing remarked: ‘The juirements of ent circulars Xo. 194 for 1891 and No. 110 for 1892, provid- ing for the keeping of an efficiency record, have deen strictly to in this bureau, and have governed the promotions from one. to another. The rule, I think, has proved ben- eficial, both in incrensing the asef of em- ployes by emulation, and tn promoting good dis- COMMODORE SKERRITT'’S DUTY.
