CIVIL SERVIGE BODY | HELD ANTIQUATED _Effmncy Chisf ‘Tells Presi- { dent fiHas Negatwe At- I tltude for Duties.. The Civil Service Cofmission con- Qduets its work fundamentally slong lines lajd down nearly forty years ago, according to & report prepared by Herbert D. Brown, chief of the United States bureau of efficlency, and transmitted by the President to the House. Mr. Brown in his report stresses thet the first task of the Civil Service Com- mission should-be to secure the best personnel possibje for the government service instead of emphasising the minimum requirements. “The commission,” the report said, *“has assumed for many years and still assumes a negative attitude toward its tasks and problems. “It endeavors to keep out of gov- ernment positions incompetent per- sons. It does not make & sufficiently Tesolute effort to secure posidons in the government for the most compe- tent available persons.” ‘While the commission advertises for help, “it does not getivek ergetically seek to placd the bBest, and ¢ the best, in government posi- * the report added, and regard- ed itself primarily as a brake on bad appointments. Open to Improvement. It was stated that the commission had not been charged with corrup- tion or with gross incompetence. but that, like most government estab- lishments of long standing, its meth- ods and proceedings were open to hrmro\emem The bureau of efficiency, in its re- port, makes two contentions; as fol- lows First, the Civil Service Commission has assumed for many years, and still mes, & negative attitude toward Its task and its problems. It endeavors to keep out of govern- ment pesitions’ Incompetent SO It does mot make a sufficiently reso- lute effort to secure for government Ppositions the most competent avall- able persons. The commission doe: indeed, advertise extensively for ai plicants; it does examine them on their education and _experience, and it does certify (with qualificatiens) the candidates who make the highest marks to the departments and inde- pendent_establishments for appoint- ment. It none the less remains (rue that the commission does not actively and energetically seek to place the best, and only the best, in govern- ment positions. 2 It regards itself primarily as a brake on bad appointments. That attitude and outlook is one which it shares in some degree with the rest of the government. The civi] service law was originally enacted as a ba Tier against the spoils system, as & chack on the appointment of incom- petent, dishonest and shiftless per- sons through political patronage. or persomal favor. It comes to this, that the government in general, and the Civil Service Commission in particular, emphasize only the minimum require- | ments for government positions. Called Old Fashion: Becond, the Civil Service Commis- sion is somewhat old-fashioned. Its work is condueted, fundamentally, along the lines laid down nearly forty yeass ago. It has not kept pace with “developments in employment science, Its practices. are not as! modern as those of the more advanced commercial concerns. Within recent years, particularly, a great deal of study and experiment has been cen- tered on employment problems, par- ticularly on the possibilities of pre- dictive teste. The commission clings in large part. to old and familiar methods. Generally spezking, it is under the swdy of tradition and of accepted [routine. The firdt task that should be u dertaken by tbe Civil Service. Com- the report states, is such a remodeling of its metho guarantee that everything po being done to llfl government office; in securing the best personnel avail able. The recommendations urged by the bureau of efficiency will, it pointed out. be of service in ‘ac- Ccomplishing this end. It should espe- cially be noted, states the report, that these recommendations, though :they call for a considerable number of changes in procedure, do not nvolve any greater expenditures. On the contrary, some of the suggested al- terations, particularly in connection with examinations and tests, will make possible large and immediate economies, and will further les ultimately, to the selection of a mo: efficient and hence less expensive pe: sonnel for the government servic JURY CONVICTS STOUT; SENTENCED FOR LIFE Staunton, Va., Mail Carrier,” Re- ceives Verdiet for Xilling Joseph P.
