"I congratulate you upon the appearance of your work on the Civil Service, which bears evidence of great care and labor on your part, and will be highly useful to those proposing to enter the Civil Service exam- inations. It is the first contribution of its kind toward a new literature of administrative science greatly needed in this country. That growing sentiment which now enforces better administrative methods will soon compel, in colleges and academies, some adequate instruction in the iprinciples on which those methods rest. Your book is significant of a change in public opinion, and is therefore both timely and auspicious. I feel sure that it will reach many editions, and will do much to advance the reform of the civil service of the country.

It caii- not but be of great use to those who wish to enter the service, and it is replete with information useful to eveiy officer in the government. I owe you hearty thanks for this addition to the services already rendered by you to the work with which our Commission stands charged. "JOHN M.

"During the preparation of your 'Guide to the Civil Service' you have often consulted me, and I have thus had an opportunity to acquaint myself with the contents of your book. Your twenty- four years of active public service, and your important official relations for six years as a civil service examiner, have peculiarly fitted you for such a work. It is compact, comprehensive, perspicuous and well arranged, and affords ample information as to the methods of appointment, and of application and examination for entrance to the service under the recent law. It also furnishes an invaluable and long-needed compendium of the entire administrative service of the United States. Leaving nothing in scope or treatment to be desired, it will be indispensable to persons wishing to enter the service, and also to the political student and the statesman. I am conversant with all the similar works on the British service, and find yours more thorough and satisfactory than any of them. The part devoted to the application of the merit system to the services of states and cities is full and well arranged, and adds greatly to the value of the work as a complete exhibit of the progress of reform in the civil service.

This manual was originally designed to furnish to persons about to seek employment under the Govern- ment, such information as would be useful to them in choosing branches of the service compatible with their abilities or inclinations, and to impart such instructions as would enable them to secure eligible standing in the lists from which, under the Civil-Service Act, appoint- ments are made. It has, however, been found desirable to widen the scope of the work and to exhibit the whole non-elective civil force of the nation in such a manner as to indicate the lines which separate its classified from its unclassified portion. Each place in every department will be found here enumerated under its appropriate head, with its compensation stated and such additional information given as seems essential to a complete pres- entation of the subject.* It is hoped that this enlarged plan, and the care which has been bestowed upon its treatment, will make the book valuable not only to the seeker for appointment, * It would, of course, be impossible within the limits of this vol- ume to describe the powers and functions of the officers here enume- rated. The best available source of information on such points is the work of Mr. George N. Lamphere, " The United States Government, its Organization and Practical Workings" (Philadelphia, J. B. Lip- pincott & Co., 1880). iv PREFACE. but also to the student, the statesman, and the general reader. For the sake of unity, the statistics in regard to the civil force are based upon its status on June 30, 1883, that being the end of the fiscal year, and the official register being issued but once in two years. The prepa- ration and publication of the latest register occupied nearly a whole year, so that it has just become available for the verification of the tables in this work. The next official register will show the condition of the force on June 30, 1885, and will probably be ready for issue dur- ing the Spring of 1886. A revised edition of this manual will then be published. The task of collating and ar- ranging the required details has been impeded and this publication delayed by unexpected difficulties in obtain- ing exact information regarding certain branches of the service. Great pains have been taken to make it full and accurate. A work of this character would be incomplete did it fail to comment upon the civil service of the separate States and Cities. Part Four is therefore devoted to a brief description of the recent reforms in the States of New York and Massachusetts and their municipalities. The author's acknowledgments for important assist- ance are due to the U. S. Civil-Service Commissioners, to Charles Lyman, Esq., Chief Examiner, to Silas W. Burt, Esq., of the N. Y. State Civil-Service Commission, and to Mr. Richmond P. Barnes, of the Naval Office at New York, to whose intelligent co-operation is due much of whatever accuracy and value this book may possess. J.

Miscellaneous 575 Index 599 INTRODUCTION. The civil service of the United States now gives em- ployment to over one hundred and twenty thousand persons; a portion of this force, consisting of laborers and others temporarily engaged, of subordinates in the secret service, and of others paid out of " lump" or con- tingent appropriations, is not borne upon the department rolls. Of the enrolled force 4930 are appointed by the Presi- dent alone, or " by and with the advice and consent of the Senate." The secretaries and heads of the execu- tive departments usually select their immediate subordi- nates, and hold the power of rejection or of confirma- tion over nominations by local officers. No statutory limit being placed upon the tenure of subordinates, they are theoretically entitled to serve " during good be- havior." The actual practice, up to a recent date, made their retention dependent upon the supremacy of the . particular party or faction to which they were attached. In the business of the Government there is need of as much and as varied ability as in banks and counting- houses, while the interests involved and the responsibili- ties incurred are beyond comparison or estimate. " No people," declared a justice of the Supreme Court,* "can have a higher public interest, except the preservation of *Trist V. Child, 2 Wallace R. 450. 2 INTRODUCTION. their liberties, than integrity in the administration of their government in all its branches." The general concern which is at the present time manifested for the elevation and improvement of the public service, and the decisive steps which have been taken to bring it into proper relations with the people, warrant the belief that a description of its organization and status will prove both interesting and useful. The entire service is now in a transitional state, many of its modern conditions being merely tentative; and, as the author desires to promote every step towards reform, he will not shrink from the expression of his views nor apologize for suggestions which might not be justifiable were the reforms matured. These considerations will explain what, without them, might seem needlessly comprehensive and discursive in the order of this review. The only portion of the service in which a successful attempt has been made to establish anything like unity and regularity is that which is known as " the Classified Service," and which includes about 12 percent, of the en- tire force. I. The Classified Service. In the act of March 3, 1853, it was provided that " the clerks in the departments of the Treasury, War, Navy, • Interior, and Post-office shall be arranged in four classes;" the act of March 3, 1855, added to this list the State Department. Under the Revised Statutes of 1874 (Title IV.), the compensation of these four classes was fixed at $1200 per annum for class one, $1400 for class two, $1600 for class three, and $1800 for class four. Although no formal arrangement of the clerks was really effected in pursuance of these statutes, yet all subsequent appropriations for salaries have conformed INTRODUCTION. 3 to the conditions thus established, and the lines of de- marcation have grown more and more distinct, until ex- isting variations mostly arise from the official survival of incumbents who entered the service prior to the acts of 1853, 1855. Under later appropriation bills, the new grades of $900 and $1000 clerkships have been recognized, so that the classified departmental service now includes clerkships receiving from fgoo to $1800 per annum. In the enu- meration of the two lowest grades, the author has dis- tinguished them in this work as, respectively, "sub-class one" and " class A." It will be observed that the "Agricultural Department" is not included among those mentioned in the acts of 1B53, and 1855. The position of this department is in other respects exceptional, yet, even regarded as an independent bureau, there is every reason why it should be brought into harmony with the general departmental service, as regards classification. In the Civil-Service Act of 1883, the Secretary of the Treasury was directed, " in as near conformity as may be to the classification now existing under the one hun- dred and sixty-third section of the Revised Statutes, to arrange in classes the several clerks and persons employed by the collector, naval officer, surveyor and appraisers, or either of them, or being in the public ser- vice, at their respective offices, in each customs district where the whole number of said clerks and persons shall be all together as many as fifty. . ." A similar classification was made incumbent upon the Postmaster-General, in all post-offices " where the whole number of persons employed amounts to fifty." The employ6s of the departments at Washington (in all 5933) and of the customs (2664) and post offices (5655) coming under these regulations, thus constitute the " Classified Civil Service," to which the application of the Civil-Service Act is limited by its terms. Yet there are 4 INTRODUCTION. in the "departmental service" several divisions which, because they are maintained by special appropriations or because of the peculiar nature of their functions, are not treated as if included in the " Classified Service." On this point the Civil-Service Commissioners say, in their first annual report: "The classification existing by law in the departments when the Civil-Service Act was passed, and which covers all places at Washington thus far embraced within the examinations, is incon- venient and misleading. There are various places not classified which seem to come within the principle of the old classification. It is presumed that at the proper time this classification will be extended, and that its lines will be made regular and consistent. One effect of its present deficiency and inconsistency is to be regretted. Persons not well informed, and some within the depart- ments, seeing certain places really outside the classifica- tion, but which should consistently be within it, filled by persons not examined under the Commission, have con- sidered, and, in some cases, have informed members of Congress, that the rules in such instances are being dis- regarded." The Commissioners have evidently desired to avoid, as far as practicable, the friction which might accom- pany their interference with the established status of these particular branches, yet it is obvious that such anomalous conditions should not be tolerated. In fact, the principle of open competitive examinations has so emphatically vindicated its advantages over any other known method of selection that its speedy application to every portion of the subordinate service is demanded by considerations of equity and sound policy.* * Among the branches which might immediately be included are the Internal-Revenue Bureau, and customs and post oflSces employing less than fifty subordinates. Since this book was prepared for publica- tion, the Railway Mail Service has been opened to competition. IN TROD UCTION. II. The Unclassified Service. The laws regulating the classified service having been explained, it remains to describe that portion of the service which is not yet classified. Section 6 of the Civil-Service Act requires, in addition to the departmental classification existing at that date (January i6, 1883), the further classification of certain customs and post offices. The third clause of the same section is as follows: " That from time to time the said Secretary, the Post- master-General, and each of the heads of departments mentioned in the one hundred and fifty-eighth section of the Revised Statutes, and each head of an office, shall, on the direction of the- President, and for facilitating the execution of this act, respectively revise any then exist- ing classification or arrangement of those in their re- spective departments and 'offices, and shall, for the purposes of the examination herein provided for, include in one or more of such classes, so far as practicable, sub- ordinate places, clerks and officers in the public service pertaining to their respective departments not before classified for examination." Section 7. " That after the expiration of six months from the passage of this act, no officer or clerk shall be appointed and no person shall be employed to enter or be promoted in either of the said classes now existing, or that may be arranged hereunder pursuant to said rules, until he has passed an examination or is shown to be specially exempted from such examination in con- formity herewith. . . ." It will be seen that these sections empower the Presi- dent to widen the boundaries of the classification at his discretion, and Part Two of this manual exhibits the mag- nitude of the enrolled force still excluded. The classi- fication ought to proceed until it embraces not only the 6 INTRODUCTION. persons who are borne upon the official register, but also the numerous employes who do not appear on its rolls. Another progressive step ought to be taken by the enactment of stringent provisions in regard to what are termed "temporary appointees." The privilege of class- ing subordinates under this designation has already proved a fruitful source of abuse, and still furnishes the opportunity for evasion of the law. III. The Civil-Service Act. While the aims of this work are thoroughly in accord with the objects of civil-service reform, it is not pro- posed to present the arguments which have sustained that movement nor to combat the objections which have been raised against it. That field has been fully occupied. The tree has been planted, has taken root, and no political party will be so foolish and reckless as to cut it down. Partisan leaders acquiesce in the open competitive system because it is approved by the people and demanded at the ballot-box. The people approve it because it restores to them a common right whereof they have been deprived by a dangerous and privileged class. The evils which it is expected to remedy had become patent, and its efficacy, wherever it has been tried, is acknowledged by every unprejudiced observer. It is consonant with the cardinal principles of this republic, and it both justifies and utilizes the opportuni- ties, which are so freely offered, of elementary education in the public schools. Whatever imperfections exist in the examinations, as at present conducted, will inevitably be detected and corrected through experience. No divine efficacy can be predicated of any human instrumentality, but, when evolved by tentative steps and gradually accommodated INTRODUCTION. J to the varied requirements of official business, the re- formed system may confidently be trusted to improve and elevate the public service, until it attracts to its ranks the best class of citizens. IV. The Civil-Service Examinations. In Part Three will be found extracts from those sections of the law which embody the provisions regu- lating appointments; also, full instructions in regard to the competitive examinations under the Civil-Service Act of 1883. It will be observed that these examinations are solely for admission to the service. The act does not dis- tinctly declare that the higher grades shall be filled, when practicable, by promotion from the lower, yet such a proceeding is so germane to the spirit of the law that it has usually been adopted. Promotions. — No rules for promotions have been for- mulated by the Commissioners, except a general permis- sion to continue "promotions without examinations in offices where examinations for promotion are not now held" (Rule XIX.). The only offices excepted from this privilege are the customs and post offices at New York City, although the departments at Washington have con- tinued to hold independent examinations for promo- tions. It is true' that allowance must be made for the exact- ing nature of the Commissioners' duties under the act. The labor of inaugurating a complicated system; of selecting and instructing new boards of examiners; of determining the nature and scope of the examinations, as well as of preparing them and of superintending the initial proceedings, was of such magnitude that delays were unavoidable. Great differences of opinion exist in regard to the 8 INTRODUCTION. propriety of restrictions upon the head of an office iti the matter of promotions. It is claimed that he is in the best position to discover the capacities and aptitudes of his subordinates, and that his interest in good adminis- tration must incline him to advance the most efficient. Were the entire service now controlled by the principle of admission through competitive examination, this view might seem, at the least, plausible. Discipline can best be maintained through a system of rewards and penal- ties. The power of dismissal and of promotion would strengthen the hands of any responsible officer. Yet it cannot be expected that such an arbitrary prerogative would never be abused, nor is it probable that the agen- cies of political influence and personal solicitation would be abandoned. In their first annual report, the Civil- Service Commissioners devote some space to the discus- sion of this question without declaring their ultimate conclusions. They remark that " the difference between the value of competitive examinations for admission and for promotion is plain enough. The applicant for origi- nal entrance to the service is a stranger to the head of the office and ignorant of its duties. But those who seek promotion are well known to the head of the bureau or office. They have served under his own eyes. No one knows as well as he their capacity or the qualifications needed in the vacant place. They are seeking places of authority where discretion, a sense of j.ustice, facility in arranging and dispatching business, capacity for disci- pline and for command, are not only the most essential qualifications, but are the most difficult of all to be tested by examinations." If the Commissioners really look'with disfavor upon the examinations in question and are not disposed to enforce them, then no time should be lost in securing such amendments to the law as would make it conform to their views. INTRODUCTION. 9 As has been stated, New York City is the only point outside of Washington where the competitive tests for promotion are applied. They are, in the former city, confined to positions in the customs service within the salary limits of $izoo to $1800 per annum, and to all promotions in the post-office. No fresh instructions hav- ing been formulated by the Commission, these examina- tions are conducted in accordance with regulations established in 1879. In Washington the examinersare designated by heads of departments, and the questions are prepared by these officers. V. Special Examinations. Rule VII., section 5, allows special examinations for positions which involve "peculiar information and skill," and Regulations 37 to 42 arrange the conditions under which suAi examinations may be held. The experience of the Commissioners has not yet enabled them to designate with exactness the classes of offices to which these exceptional tests may be applied. Appointing officers are sometimes disposed to give an elastic con- struction to the rules, and a definite announcement of their limits will contribute to their equitable enforce- ment. VI. The Extension of the Competitive System. Much as has been accomplished, a vast amount still remains to be done in extending the benefits of the act to the " unclassified service" and to the exempted portions of the " classified service." The practicability of such exten- sion is no longer a matter of inference. The experience of Great Britain affords a conclusive demonstration of its propriety. The great State of New York has already lO INTRODUCTION. established the competitive system at every feasible point, and other States will not be slow in following her example. The city of Brooklyn, the first municipality to adopt the reform, has found it advantageous to place almost her entire service on this footing. The commer- cial metropolis had anticipated the compulsory statute of the State and organized the civil force under admir- able regulations. Amid all these tokens of progress, the national admin- istration should not lag behind. A certain amount of indulgence, perhaps even of laxity in non-essentials, was discreet during the experimental stage: but that period is safely passed; the new methods have been rati- fied by public opinion and nothing should obstruct their universal application. "When there is reached that complete establishment, which some of us will live to see, of open ccimpetition for all offices, not essentially political, in the United States and in their various communities, the secondary results of the reform will doubtless be far greater than the primary results. Official places will come to be more scientifically classed, and their duties better divided, through the generalizations necessary to the arrange- ment of competitions. The compensations of officers doing the same work will not, as now, capriciously vary in different departments within the same city. The temptation will disappear to unnecessarily employ new subordinates, and to treat those already employed with undue indulgence. Tlie motives of executives to economy of administration will become keener. Official prestige, a wholesome esprit du corps, and a higher standard of lionor and efficiency among public servants themselves will arise. On the other hand, a wise jealousy on the part of the people will be better directed towards public officers as public servants, who have no other right to their places than in the faithful doing of their duties " (Edward M. Shepard, Esq., before the American Social Science Association, Sept. 12, 1884.) INTRODUCTION. II VII. The Present Establishment. The compilation of this manual has impressed upon the author the need of a radical reorganization of the whole civil establishment of the country upon some co- herent and intelligible plan. The service, as it is now constituted, represents an agglomeration of offices which have accumulated around the original stock, — often hastily improvised to meet the requirements of rapid extension of territory and of new govern- mental business; often lagging superfluous after their functions have become obsolete; sometimes created solely to open fresh avenues for partisan patronage, and maintained in excess at certain points while inadequate at others; always lacking unity and the scientific adjust- ment of means to ends. Such defects would have been more conspicuous but for the labors of faithful incum- bents who are to be found scattered through the public offices and who, by personal efficiency and administrative ability, overcome, i^n a measure, the obstacles arising from pernicious methods. These are the pivots upon which turns the complicated machinery of the govern- ment bureaus; yet, in most cases, they are unrecognized, scantily paid, and perhaps even stigmatized with the discredit which has hitherto attached so indiscriminately to all in the government employ. A true reconstruction on business principles will never be accomplished until it has been confided to a special board which, by investigation and study, will qualify itself to frame a comprehensive scheme for superseding the present anomalous and unwieldy establishment. Happily, an example which would vastly facilitate such an undertaking exists in the successive modifications which have transformed the civil service of Great Britain from an almost chaotic condition to its present compact 12 INTRODUCTION. and efficient order.* With the adoption of correct methods of appointment, we may look for speedy ad- vances in the science of administration. The govern- ment service ought to present the best attainable model of directness, economy, and security; yet it is equally true that no device of checks and balances can obviate the need of capable and trustworthy agents. The Civil- Service Act, through its preliminary tests and its trial by probation, has placed an effectual guard at the entrance; the gradual advancement of the most capable and meri- torious to the highest positions will crown the edifice. Although no one can dispute the right of the Executive to surround himself with cabinet ministers who concur in his views regarding financial, foreign, and domestic policies, yet the political opinions of a local officer ought not to be considered so long as he fulfils creditably the functions, of his office. Who is so likely to prove a good and efficient collector of customs as one, thoroughly trained in the complicated business of the custom-house, whose integrity and competency have been demonstrated during long service? Where shall we find better ma- terial for postmasters than among those who have served a qualifying apprenticeship in that department ? Who better able to dischargee technical duties than those who have passed Jh£-besfyears of their lives in learning and performing them ? f * See Appendix. f Two notable instances of promotion from the ranks have occurred in the government offices in New York. Mr. Henry G. Pierson, the efficient postmaster, began at the foot of the ladder and has mounted by successive steps to the top. Col. Silas W. Burt was regularly promoted from a clerkship to be Naval Officer of the Port. Under the control of these competent and experienced gentlemen, both of these offices acquired a national reputation for excellence of adminis, tration. INTRODUCTION. 1 3 VIII. Women in the Service. To no class of citizens is the system of free com- petition fraught with greater advantage than to the women of this country. It opens for them a field of genteel occupation and respectable self-support from which they have often been excluded in spite of a positive enactment in their behalf. "Women may, in the discretion of the head of any department, be appointed to any of the clerkships therein authorized by law, upon the same requisites and conditions, and with the same compensations, as are prescribed for men." (Rev. Stat., sect. 165.) The dispensers of patronage were obliged to distribute the spoils among those who sus- tained them at the polls, and women applicants were crowded aside by importunate henchmen. Yet there is no doubt that for many of the duties required they have special qualifications. In the currency bureau in the Treasury Department at Washington, their quickness and aptitude, as " sorters and counters of money," make them, for that work, superior to men. The U. S. Civil- Service Commissioners say, "Only under free, open com- petitive examinations have the worthiest womeh the op- portunities and the protection which arise from allowing character and capacity to win precedence." "We have taken evidence," say the British Commissioners, " regard- ing the employme'nt of female clerks. The experience of the post-office, as will be seen from the evidence, shows that women are well qualified for clerical work and are satisfied with a lower rate of pay than is expected by men similarly employed. We, therefore, see no reason why the employment of female clerks should not be extended to other departments, where the circumstances will admit of it." It is, however, only right to warn women throughout ,14 INTRODUCTION. the country of their error in looking exclusively to the departmental service at Washington for the opportunity of employment. Unfortunately, the applicants in that city are already beyond the possible requirements of the service, and the eligible lists are hopelessly extended. As the law requires the pro-rata distribution of subor- dinates according to the population of each State, it happens that months may elapse before the eligible women from certain States can expect to have their names presented for consideration. Even then they must encounter the objections, possibly the prejudices, of ap- pointing officers. On the other hand, the local offices scattered through- out the country provide constantly increasing oppor- tunities. Especially in the postal service at the smaller towns is it feasible for women to discharge the duties required. In the near future the civil-service rules will unquestionably be extended so as to reach these positions. IX. Educational. One of the most interesting questions springing from the development of the reformed system of appointment, is that touching the relative advantages which those competitors enjoy who have been educated in the higher class of institutions. Some progress has been made in tabulating the returns so as to segregate those from colleges, those from academies, and those from common schools, in order that a comparison might be made of their average standing. Although the ex- periment is too incomplete to furnish conclusive data, a slight percentage is indicated in favor of what is called "an academic course." It is certain that the " colleges" have not justified any expectation that for this work their graduates would show superior aptitude. The INTRODUCTION. 1 5 inquiry is of great interest and itnportance,and deserves more scientific treatment than it has received. Unfor- tunately, applicants often imperfectly comprehend the object of the queries, in the application-paper, as to edu- cation. They have but a vague conception of the proper rank of educational institutions. Indeed, this confusion ■is prevalent throughout the community, since every private school blooms out an academic flower so soon as it grows prosperous, while a smattering of classics often inflates the academy into collegiate dignity. This confusing nomenclature can be remedied if the Com- missioners, in concert with the Board of Education, will prepare lists of all those institutions which should be recognized as "colleges" and as "academies." Boards of examiners would thus be enabled to make such re- ports as would afford a proper basis for comparisons. Let it be understood, however, that in examinations for the vast majority of offices there is no intention to transcend the limits of an ordinary common-school edu- cation. No person who has this equipment need hesi- tate to risk the trial. Failure is more often the re- sult of nervousness and apprehension than of igno- rance; but the ordeal itself is useful, and some who have at first fallen below the minimum have in this way dis- covered their deficiencies and achieved success at a sub- sequent trial. The first examinations under the act were undeniably too simple in their requirements, but the tendency will naturally be toward refinement of methods and multiplication of difficulties. This tend- ency has developed itself in Great Britain to the degree of absurdity, so that only the highest ability and attain- ments can now promise a chance of appointment to certain of the government offices. Indeed these unrea- sonable exactions have actually been attributed to a desperate attempt on the part of the aristocracy to limit the appointments to such as have had the higher educa; 1 6 INTRODUCTION. tion which has been largely the prerogative of that class. But such an abuse is self-corrective, and signs are already conspicuous of a reaction which will compel a simplification of the requirements. With us, it is the common people who, at last, control every measure of public policy, and they may be trusted to defend their right to compete on equal terms with the most favored classes. The following extract from the annual report of the New York State Commission gives clear expression to this principle : " The modera- tion of the scheme for open competitive examinations approved by the Commission, with the required proofs of moral character, of temperate and industrious habits, and of general fitness for the positions applied for, in- cluding the requisite physical ability, will dispose of the erroneous idea, sometimes expressed, that the scheme of competitive examinations is one of doctrinaires and visionaries rather than of practical experts in business methods. They will meet, too, the objection that the character of the examination would give an overwhelm- ing advantage to the few who have received a collegiate education, and would virtually proscribe the great majority to whom a college education is unknown. Upon this point the records of the examiners in the custom-house, up to and including the forty-eighth examination, afford interesting and conclusive evidence.* The percentage of appointees in each class to the whole number appointed, with reference to their education, was as follows: educated at schools, etc., supported wholly by public taxation, sixty per cent; educated at acade- * It must not be forgotten, however, that colleges have furnished but a small relative percentage of applicants, graduates usually seek- ing the learned professions and other walks of life. It is not improba- ble that under the elevating influence of the reformed system this disparity will, in the future, become less conspicuous. — Author, INTRODUCTION. 1/ mies, thirty-tnree per cent; educated at colleges, six and one half per cent. These figures, while showing the ability of the people to find fitting material for the subordinate positions in the public service, whether State, county, or municipal, among those educated at their expense in the common schools, show also that those schools when properly conducted afford a fair and equal chance to every boy or girl educated in them, to acquire the judicious training required in all who would enter the public service. The system of competitive examinations established by the act, so far from proving the inefficiency for its needs of our common-school edu- cation, shows that that education can at once harmonize the just requirements of the State and the equal right of the people to share in its service. Nor does there seem to be any reason to doubt that opening of the public service to competition will give to education here, as it did in Great Britain, a marvellous impulse." X. Suggestions for the Improvement of the Service. For reasons already stated in this introduction, the author ventures to call attention to certain progressive measures which seem to him both expedient and prac- tical. I. An energetic demand has come from various quarters for the repeal of the statutes which fix a limit of four years to the official terms of such functionaries as collectors, naval officers, surveyors and appraisers of customs (see section 2613, Revised Statutes), postmasters of the first, second, and third classes (see section 3830), U. S. Assistant Treasurers (see section 3595), and U. S. marshals (see section 779). The objection is made to this limitation that, if an incumbent be capable and worthy, experience in the duties of his office surely en- 1 8 INTRODUCTION. hances his value to the Government; while the peremp- tory vacation of his place merely opens up, under cover of law, a fresh avenue for patronage. The period itself is too brief to enable a new officer to acquire a thorough knowledge of his responsibilities. The inevitable date of his exit weakens his interest and ambition, while it paralyzes his authority over his subordinates. As the undisputed right of dismissal will continue to be vested in the President, there need be no apprehen- sion of the retention of an officer after his unfitness has been exposed. On the contrary, this prerogative will be exercised with greater alacrity when the legal limit of tenure ceases to afford a plausible pretext for clemency. Officers of the military branches of the service are com- missioned to serve during good behavior; why may not civil officers be appointed for similar terms ? 2. No provision has ever been made for superannuated and invalided civil servants. The soldier, disabled on his first field, is tenderly cared for and maintained; but the clerk who has given his best years to the exacting labors of a government bureau, so soon as he reaches the inevitable limit of active usefulness, is turned out to die, perhaps in poverty and distress. These unfair con- ditions prevail in no other civilized country. In the new civil-service regulations of Great Britain, the claims of justice and humanity are not ignored, but all civil servants of the age of sixty have the right, under the Superannuation Act of 1859, of retiring on the following scale of allowance: " To any person who shall have served ten years and upwards, and under eleven years, an annual allowance of ten sixtieths of the annual salary and emoluments of his office. For eleven years and under twelve years, an annual allowance of eleven sixtieths of such salary and emoluments. "And in like manner, a further addition to the annual INTRO D UCTION. 1 9 allowance of one sixtieth in respect of each additional year of such service, until the completion of a period of service of forty years, when the annual allowance of forty sixtieths may be granted; and no addition shall be made in respect of any service beyond forty years." This scale is also applicable to those civil servants who have not attained the age of sixty, but are com- pelled to retire through mental or bodily infirmity. Power is also reserved to the Treasury to increase the allowance in cases of eminent merit or compulsory retire- ment. Another device with the same object has been pro- posed and elaborated by Colonel Silas W. Burt, ex-Naval Officer of New York and now Chief Civil-Service Ex- aminer of the State Board; his plan involves a life- assurance and annuity system supported by premiums withheld from salaries, and conducted by the Govern- ment in accordance with the principles of life-assurance companies. This method presents many advantages, the chief of which is that it avoids the eleemosynary quality of pen- sions and simply compels every subordinate to provide for the day of necessity by surrendering a tithe of his annual stipend. The obvious objection is that it invests the Government with that paternal character which is so repugnant to public opinion, and that it substitutes com- pulsion for voluntary action. On the other hand, it does not seem right for the Government to violate those humane principles which are observed in the ordinary business of life. XL The Example of Great Britain. The present condition of the English service is the 1-egitimate outcome of the reforms which have been patiently evolved since 1853, when the first decisive step 20 INTRODUCTION. was taken to wrest, from members of Parliament, the patronage with which they had so long debauched the government departments. " Even as early as 1820, the patronage of promotion in the Customs service had been surrendered by the head of the Treasury in favor of promotions for merit, and the results not a little aided the cause of reform by in- creasing the efficiency of that branch of the service. It was no longer possible for politicians to prevent the question of better administrative methods coming into the foreground as a great measure of executive policy, and it became distinctly such before 1853."* The com- petitive system was inaugurated in 1855, having been recommended by a Parliamentary committee, who stated that among the principal objects they had in view were these: " I. To provide by a proper system of examinations for the supply of the public service with a thoroughly efficient class of men. " 2. To encourage industry and foster merit by teach- ing all public servants to look forward to promotion according to their deserts, and to expect the highest prizes in the service if they can qualify themselves. " 3. To mitigate the evils which result from the fragmentary character of the service, and to introduce into it some elements of unity by placing the first ap- pointments upon a uniform footing, opening the way to the promotion of public officers to staff appointments in other departments than their own, and introducing into the lower ranks a body of men (the supplementary clerks) whose services may be made available at any time, in any office whatever." In 1874 a Royal Commission, presided over by the Right Hon. Lyon Playfair, M.P., was directed to report upon the system as it then existed, and it was this Com- * " Civil Service in Great Britain," by Dorman B. Eaton. INTRODUCTION. 21 mission which proposed an arrangement of the clerks in two classes to be known as the Upper and Lower Divi- sions, with an annual increment of pay for faithful ser- vice. This plan was adopted with results so entirely satisfac- tory that, as a matter of instruction and consideration, its details may be properly explained in the interest of our own service. With this view, additional extracts from the report will be found in the Appendix; also the celebrated " Order in Council " of February, 1876, by which the recommendations of the Commission were carried into effect. When the government offices of the United States- shall have been relieved from the incubus of " patron- age," we may anticipate that legislation in regard to them will be as enlightened and judicious as that which we have quoted from Parliamentary proceedings. His- tory can never "repeat itself " with better results than in those paths which tend towards the reform and elevation of our civil service. UNITED STATES CIVIL SERVICE. PART ONE.

I4I POST-OFFICE DEPARTMENT AT LARGE. Postmasters. — Postmasters are divided (under the act of March 3, 1883) into four classes, classes one, two, and three being appointed by the President, by and with the advice of the Senate, and class four being appointed and removed by the Postmaster-General. Class one embraces those with salaries of $3000 or more. Class two embraces those with salaries under $3000 but not less than $2000. Class three embraces those with salaries under $2000 but not less than f 1000. Class four embraces those with salaries under $1000. The act of March 3, 1883, provides for compensation as follows: First Class: For postmasters whose gross receipts are from $40,000 to $45,000 (inclusive), salary $3000; from $45,000 to $60,000, salary $3100; from $60,000 to $80,000, salary $3200; from $80,000 to $110,000, salary $3300; from $110,000 to $150,000, salary $3400; from $150,000 to $200,000, salary $3500; from $200,000 to $260,000, salary $3600; from $260,000 to $330,000, salary $3700; from $330,000 to $400,000, salary $3800; from $400,000 to $450,- 000, salary $3900; from $450,000 to $500,000, salary $4000; from $500,000 to $600,000, salary $5000; from $600,000 upward, salary $6000 (but the salary of the postmaster at New York is by special enactment made $8000, and that of the postmaster at Washington $5000.) Second Class : Gross receipts $8000 to $9000, salary $2000; from $9000 to $10,000, salary$2ioo; from $10,000 to $11,000, salary $2200; from $11,000 to $13,000, salary $2300; from $13,000 to $16,000, salary $2400; from $16,- 000 to $20,000, salary $2500; from $20,000 to $24,000, salary $2600 ; from $24,000 to $30,000, salary $2700 ; from $30,000 to $35,000, salary $2800; from $35,000 to $40,000, salary $2900.

Fourth Class. — The compensation of postmasters of this class is based upon box-rents collected at their offices, and commissions upon the amount of cancelled postage- due stamps, and on postage-stamps, official stamps, stamped envelopes, postal-cards, and newspaper and periodical stamps cancelled on matter actually mailed at their offices, and on amounts received from waste- paper, dead newspapers, printed matter, and twine sold, at the following rates, namely: On the first $50 or less per quarter, 100 per centum; on the next $100 or less, 60 per centum; on the next $200 or less, 50 per centum; and on all the remainder, 40 per centum: Provided, That when the compensation of any postmaster of this class shall reach $250 for four consecutive quarters, each, ex- clusive of commissions on money-order business, and when the returns for four consecutive quarters shall show him to be entitled to a compensation of $250 per quarter, the Postmaster-General shall assign the office to its proper class and fix the salary accordingly, no postmaster of the fourth class being entitled to more than f 1000 per annum, exclusive of money-order com- missions. THE CLASSIFIED POSTAL SERVICE. There are in the civil service of the United States 48,434* postmasters of all classes. As the Postmaster- General has authority to establish or to discontinue post- offices of fourth class upon all lawfully declared post- routes, according to the needs of the country, and as the compensation of postmasters is not a fixed amount, but varies in accordance with the sliding scale prescribed by Congress, it is manifestly impossible, in this volume, to enumerate the whole postal service in detail. It is practicable, however, to name those offices which are now embraced under the post-office classification as offices of the first, second, and third classes. * This number is based upon the register of July i, 1883. At this date (December i, 1884) the number reaches 50,000. The succeeding table has been revised to agree with the latest returns.

S. mail-steamers touch to land and I'eceive mails as in his judgment may promote the efficiency of the foreign mail service, and he may pay the agents so employed a reasonable compensation and necessary expenses for office-rent, etc. Contracts for carrying the mails are let to the lowest bidder after due advertisement of the conditions gov- erning the contract. Mails carried by railway con- stitute what is called the "Railway Mail Service;" those transported on vessels propelled by steam constitute the "Steamboat Service;" and those carried in all other ways, the " Star Service." The act of February 21, 1879, provides: Sec. i. . . . That . . . there shall be in all cities which contain a population of 75,000 or more, two classes of letter-carriers to be fixed by the Postmaster- General. Sec. 2.

THE COMPETITIVE EXAMINATIONS. There are, at this time, two methods of gaining em- ployment in the civil service. The " classified service" is entered through open competitive examinations, as prescribed by the Civil-Service Act of 1883, subject, however, to the exceptions provided for in that act. Appointments to the " unclassified service" are usually secured by personal solicitation; but there are portions of this latter service, like the Revenue Marine, the Marine Hospital, etc., for which independent examina- tions for admission have been instituted. There has been, in fact, since March 3, 1853, a legal requirement of examination for all appointments to the departmental service in Washington: " No person shall be appointed in any Department .... until he has been examined and found qualified by a board of examiners, to consist of the chief of the bureau or office into which said clerk is to be appointed, and two other clerks to be selected by the head of the Department." (Section 164, Rev. Stat. 1878.) But this statute was more honored in the breach than in the observance until President Grant exerted the authority which was vested in him by section 9 of the act of March'3, 187 1, and appointed commissioners who were instructed to prepare rules and appoint boards for civil-service examinations. Section 9 of the act referred to is as follows: "That the President of the United States be, and he is hereby, authorized to prescribe such rules and regulations for the admission of persons into the civil service of the United States as will best pro- mote the efficiency thereof, and ascertain the fitness of each candidate, in respect to age, health, character, know- 228 THE COMPETITIVE EXAMINATIONS. ledge, and ability, for the branch of the service into which he seeks to enter ; and for this purpose the President is authorized to employ suitable persons to conduct such inquiries, to prescribe their duties, and to establish regu- lations for the conduct of persons who may receive ap- pointments in the civil service." Considerable progress was made by these Commission- ers in establishing the reform, but they were by the President's order compelled to abandon the effort, on ac- count of the failure of Congress to appropriate money for necessary expenses. Yet there is no doubt that the demonstration afforded by this brief experiment led to its renewal by President Hayes in 1879, ^^d finally to the enactment of the present law, which was approved by President Arthur, January 16, 1883. A common and specious objection to these examina- tions is that they are not based upon the actual duties which will be required in the positions sought. In point of fact, nothing would be more unfair than to judge candi- dates by their acquaintance with matters of which they could have had no experience and of which their know- ledge must be extremely superficial. A fair education and general quickness and intelligence are of obvious advantage in the discharge of every kind of duty; these are qualities which can be ascertained by the methods employed. But it is not pretended that the more subtle peculiarities which are developed in the discharge of daily duties can be reached by this preliminary test. President Arthur truly describes these qualities in his first message to Congress: "There are very many char- acteristics which go to make a model civil servant. Prominent among them are probity, industry, good sense, good habits, good temper, patience, order, cour- tesy, tact, self-reliance, manly deference to superior offi- cers and manly consideration for inferiors." But it has been well said: "If these qualities cannot be adequately reached by a civil-service examiaation, still less, and far indeed less, can they be reached by the vague, careless, and hasty tests applied under the old system of personal appointment." The final and irrefutable answer to this kind of criti- cism is to be found in the provision for six months' pro- THE CIVIL-SERVICE ACT. 229 bation in the performance of actual duties after appoint- ment. And an advantage is gained by the new plan which compensates for its imperfections: it secures the abolition of patronage and corrects all the abuses which grow out of the arbitrary selection of public servants. An Act to Regulate and Improve the Civil Service of the United States. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the President is authorized to appoint, by and with the ad- vice and consent of the Senate, three persons, not more than two of whom shall be adherents of the same party, as Civil-Service Commissioners, and said three Commis- sioners shall constitute the United States Civil-Service Commission. Said Commissioners shall hold no other official place under the United States. The President may remove any Commissioner; and any vacancy in the position of Commissioner shall be so filled by the President, by and with the advice and con- sent of the Senate, as to conform to said conditions for the first selection of Commissioners. The Commissioners shall each receive a salary of three thousand five hundred dollars a year. And each of said Commissioners shall be paid his necessary travelling ex- penses incurred in the discharge of his duty as a Com- missioner. Sec. 2. That it shall be the duty of said Commis- sioners: First. To aid the President, as he may request, in pre- paring suitable rules for carrying this act into effect, and when said rules shall have been promulgated it shall be the duty of all officers of the United States in the Depart- ments and offices to which any such rules may relate to aid, in all proper ways, in carrying said rules, and any modifications thereof, into effect. Second. And, among other things, said rules shall pro- vide and declare, as nearly as the conditions of good administration will warrant, as follows: First, for open competitive examinations for testing 230 THE COMPETITIVE EXAMINATIONS. the fitness of applicants for the public service now classi- fied or to be classified hereunder. Such examinations shall be practical in their character, and so far as may be shall relate to those matters which will fairly test the relative capacity and fitness of the persons examined to discharge the duties of the service into which they seek to be appointed. Second, that all the offices, places, and employments so arranged or to be arranged in classes shall be filled by selections according to grade from among those graded highest as the results of such competitive examinations. Third, appointments to the public service aforesaid in the Departments at Washington shall be apportioned among the several States and Territories and the District of Columbia upon the basis of population as ascertained at the last preceding census. Every application for an examination shall contain, among other things, a state- ment, under oath, setting forth his or her actual bona- fide residence at the time of making the application, as well as how long he or she has been a resident of such place. Fourth, that there shall be a period of probation before any absolute appointment or employment afore- said. Fifth, that no person in the public service is for that reason under any obligations to contribute to any politi- cal fund or to render any political service, and that he will not be removed or otherwise prejudiced for refusing to do so. Sixth, that no person in said service has any right to use his official authority or influence to coerce the politi- cal action of any person or body. Seventh, there shall be non-competitive examinations in all proper cases before the Commission, when compe- tent persons do not compete, after notice has been given of the existence of the vacancy, under such rules as may be prescribed by the Commissioners as to the manner of giving notice. Eighth, that notice shall be given in writing by the appointing power to said Commission of the persons selected for appointment or employment from among those who have been examined, of the place of residence THE CIVIL-SERVICE ACT. 23 1 of such persons, of the rejection of any such persons after probation, of transfers, resignations, and removals, and of the date thereof, and a record of the same shall be kept by said Commission. And any necessary excep- tions from said eight fundamental provisions of the rules shall be set forth in connection with such rules, and the reasons therefor shall be stated in the annual reports of the Commission. Third. Said Commission shall, subject to the rules that may be made by the President, make regulations for, and have control of, such examinations, and, through its members or the examiners, it shall supervise and pre- serve the records of the same; and said Commission shall keep minutes of its own proceedings. Fourth. Said Commission may make investigations concerning the facts, and may report upon all matters touching the enforcement and effects of said rules and regulations, and concerning the action'of any examiner or board of examiners hereinafter provided for, and its own subordinates, and those in the public service, in re- spect to the execution of this act. Fifth. Said Commission shall make an annual report to- the President for transmission to Congress, showing its own action, the rules and regulations and the exceptions thereto in force, the practical effects thereof, and any suggestions it may approve for the more effectual accom- plishment of the purposes of this act. Sec. 3 That said Commission is authorized to employ a chief examiner, a part of whose duty it shall be, under its direction, to act with the examining boards, so far as practicable, whether at Washington or elsewhere, and to secure accuracy, uniformity, and justice in all their pro- ceedings, which shall be at all times open to him. The chief examiner shall be entitled to receive a salary at the rate of three thousand dollars a year, and he shall be paid his necessary travelling expenses incurred in the discharge of his duty. The Commission shall have a secretary, to be appointed by the President, who shall receive a salary of one thousand six hundred dollars per annum. It may, when necessary, employ a stenographer, and a messenger, who shall be paid, when employed, the former at the rate of one thousand six hundred dollars 232 THE COMPETITIVE EXAMINATIONS. a year, and the latter at the rate of six hundred dollars a year. The Commission shall, at Washington and in one or more places in each State and Territory where examinations are to take place, designate and select a suitable number of persons, not less than three, in the official service of the United States, residing in said State or Territory, after consulting the head of the Department or office in which such persons serve, to be members of boards of examiners, and may at any time substitute any other person in said service living in such State or Territory in the place of any one so selected. Such boards of examiners shall be so located as to make it reasonably convenient and inexpensive for applicants to attend before them; and where there are persons to be examined in any State or Territory, examinations shall be held therein at least twice in each year. It shall be the duty of the j:oIlector, postmaster, and other officers of the United States, at any place outside of the District of Columbia where examinations are directed by the President or by said board to be held, to allow the reasonable use of the public buildings for holding such ■examinations, and in all proper ways to facilitate the same. Sec. 4. That it shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Interior to cause suitable and convenient rooms and accommodations to be assigned or provided, and to be furnished, heated, and lighted, at the city of Washington, for carrying on the work of said Commission and said examinations, and to cause the necessary stationery and other articles to be supplied, and the necessary printing to be done for said Commission. Sec. 5. That any said Commissioner, examiner, copyist, or messenger, or any person in the public service who shall wilfully and corruptly, by himself or in co-opera- tion with one or more other persons, defeat, deceive, or obstruct any person in respect of his or her right of ex- amination according to any such rules or regulations, or who shall wilfully, corruptly, and falsely mark, grade, estimate, or report upon the examination or proper standing of any person examined hereunder, or aid in so doing, or who shall wilfully and corruptly make any false representations concerning the same or concerning THE CIVIL-SERVICE ACT. 233 the person examined, or who shall wilfully and corruptly furnish to any person any special or secret information for the purpose of either improving or injuring the pros- pects or chances of any person so examined, or to be examined, being appointed, employed, or promoted, shall for each such offence be deemed guilty of a misde- meanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine of not less than one hundred dollaFs nor more than one thousand dollars or by imprisonment not less than ten days nor more than one year, or by both such fine and imprisonment. Sec. 6. That within sixty days after the passage of this act it shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury, in as near conformity as may be to the classification of certain clerks now existing under the one hundred and sixty-third section of the Revised Statutes, to arrange in classes the several clerks and persons employed by the collector, naval officer, surveyor, and appraisers, or either of them, or being in the public service, at their respective offices in each customs district where the whole number of said clerks and persons shall be all together as many as fifty. And thereafter, from time to time, on the di- rection of the President, said Secretary shall make the like classification or arrangement of clerks and persons so employed, in connection with any said oifice or offices, in any other customs district. And, upon like request, and for the purposes of this act, said Secretary shall arrange in one or more of said classes, or of existing classes, any other clerks, agents, or persons employed under his Department in any said district not now classi- fied; and every such arrangement and classification upon being made shall be reported to the President. Second. Within said sixty days it shall be the duty of the Postmaster-General, in general conformity to said one hundred and sixty-third section, to separately arrange in classes the several clerks and persons em- ployed, or in the public service, at each post-office, or under any postmaster of the United States, where the whole number of said clerks and persons shall together amount to as many as fifty. And thereafter, from time to time, on the direction of the President, it shall be the duty of the Postmaster-General to arrange in like classes 234 THE COMPETITIVE EXAMINATIONS. the clerks and persons so employed in the postal service in connection with any other post-office; and every such arrangement and classification upon being made shall be reported to the President. Third. That from time to time said Secretary, the Postmaster-General, and each of the heads of Depart- ments mentioned in the one hundred and fifty-eighth section of .the Revised Statutes, and each head of an office, shall, on the direction of the President, and for facilitating the execution of this act, respectively revise any then existing classification or arrangement of those in their respective Departments and offices, and shall, for the purposes of the examination herein provided for, in- clude in one or more of such classes, so far as practicable, subordinate places, clerks, and officers in the public ser- vice pertaining to their respective Departments not before classified for examination. Sec. 7. That after the expiration of six months from the passage of this act no officer or clerk shall be ap- pointed, and no person shall be employed to enter or be promoted in either of the said classes now existing, or that may be arranged hereunder pursuant to said rules, until he has passed an examination, or is shown to be specially exempted from such examination in conformity herewith. But nothing herein contained shall be con- strued to take from those honorably discharged from the military or naval service any preference conferred by the seventeen hundred and fifty-fourth section of the Revised Statutes, nor to take from the President any authority not inconsistent with this act conferred by the seventeen hundred and fifty-third section of said statutes; nor shall any officer not in the executive branch of the government, or any person merely employed as a laborer or workman, be required to be classified hereunder; nor, unless by direction of the Senate, shall any person who has been nominated for confirmation by the Senate be required to be classified or to pass an examination. Sec. 8. That no person habitually using intoxicating beverages to excess shall be appointed to, or retained in, any office, appointment, or employment to which the provisions of this act are applicable. Sec. 9. That whenever there are already two or more THE CIVJL-SERVICE ACT. 235 members of a family in the public service in the grades covered by this act, no other member of such family shall be eligible to appointment to any of said grades. Sec. 10. That no recommendation of any person who shall apply for office or place under the provisions of this act which may be given by any Senator or member of the House of Representatives, except as to the character or residence of the applicant, shall be received or con- sidered by any person concerned in making any examina- tion or appointment under this act. Sec. II. That no Senator, or Representative, or Territo- rial Delegate of the Congress, or Senator, Representative, or Delegate elect, or any officer or employe of either of said Houses, and no executive, judicial, military, or naval officer of the United States, and no clerk or employe of any Department, branch, or bureau of the executive, judi- cial, or military or naval service of the United States, shall, directly or indirectly, solicit or receive, or be in any manner concerned in soliciting or receiving, any as- sessment, subscription, or contribution for any political purpose whatever, from any officer, clerk, or employe of the United States, or any Department, branch, or bureau thereof, or from any person receiving any salary or com- pensation from moneys derived from the Treasury of the United States. Sec. 12. That no person shall, in any room or building occupied in the discharge of official duties by any officer or employe of .the United States mentioned in this act, or in any navy-yard, fort, or arsenal, solicit in any man- ner whatever, or receive, any contribution of money or any other thing of value for any political purpose what- ever. Sec. 13. No officer or employe of the United States mentioned in this act shall discharge, or promote, or de- grade, or in any manner change the official rank or compensation of any other officer or employe, or prom- ise or threaten so to do, for giving or withholding or neglecting to make any contribution of money or other valuable thing for any political purpose. Sec. 14; That no officer, clerk, or other person in the service of the United States shall, directly or indirectly, give or hand over to any other officer, clerk, or person in 236 THE COMPETITIVE EXAMINATIONS. the service of the United States, or to any Senator or member of the House of Representatives, or Territorial Delegate, any money or other valuable thing on account of, or to be applied to, the promotion of any political object whatever. Sec. 15. That any person who shall be guilty of violat- ing any provision of the four foregoing sections shall be 'deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall, on convic- tion thereof, be punished by a fine not exceeding five thousand dollars, or by imprisonment for a term not ex- ceeding three years, or by such fine and imprisonment both, in the discretion of the court. Approved January 16, 1883. PRACTICAL INSTRUCTIONS. Although the unclassified service vastly exceeds in magnitude the portion embraced within the classifica- tion, it is not proposed, in this manual, to define the methods by which it may be reached. The citizen who aspires to one of its places must still enlist in his behalf that mysterious force, so familiar to the people of this country, which is recognized as " influence." In treat- ing of entrance to the classified service, instructions will be given only in regard to position.s open to competi- tion. The Commissioners appointed under the Civil-Service Act have promulgated the following rules and regula- tions: Amended Civil-Service Rules. In the exercise of the power vested in the President by the Constitution, and by virtue of the i7S3d section of the Revised Statutes, and of the Civil-Service Act ap- proved January 16, 1883, the following rules for the regulation and improvement of the executive civil ser- vice are hereby amended and promulgated: Rule I. — No person in said service shall use his official authority or influence either to coerce the political action of any person or body or to interfere with any election. Rule II. — No person in the public service shall for that CIVIL-SERVICE RULES. 237 reason be under any obligation to contribute to any political fund, or to render any political service, and he will not be removed or otherwise prejudiced for refusing to do so. Rule III. — It shall be the duty of collectors, post- masters, assistant treasurers, naval officers, surveyors, appraisers, and custodians of public buildings, at places where examinations are to be held, to allow and arrange for the reasonable use of suitable rooms in th,e public buildings in their charge, and for heating, lighting, and furnishing the same, for the purposes of such examina- tions; and all other executive officers shall in all legal and proper ways facilitate such examinations and the execu- tion of these rules. Rule IV. — I. All officials connected with any office where, or for which, any examination is to take place, will give the Civil-Service Commission, and the chief examiner, such information as may be reasonably re- quired to enable the Commission to select competent and trustworthy examiners ; and the examinations by those selected as examinfers, and the work incident thereto, will be regarded as a part of the public business to be performed at such office. 2. It shall be the duty of every executive officer promptly to inform the Commission, in writing, of the removal or discharge from the public service of any ex- aminer in his office, or of the inability or refusal of any such examiner to act in that capacity. Rule V. — There shall be three branches of the service, classified under the Civil-Service Act (not including laborers or workmen, or officers required to be confirmed by the Senate), as follows: 1. Those classified in the Departments at Washington shall be designated " The Classified Departmental Ser- vice." 2. Those classified under any collector, naval officer, surveyor, or appraiser in any customs district shall be designated " The Classified Customs Service." 3.

CIVIL-SERVICE RULES. 239 3. No one shall be entitled to be certified for appoint- ment whose standing upon a just grading in the general examination shall be less than sixty-five per centum of complete proficiency in the first three subjects rwentioned in this rule, and that measure of proficiency shall be deemed adequate. 4. For places in which a lower degree of education will suffice, the Commission may limit the examinations to less than the five subjects above mentioned; but no person shall be certified for appointment, under this clause, whose grading shall be less than an average of sixty-five per centum on such of the first three subjects or parts tiiereof as the examination may embrace. 5. The Commission may also order examinations upon other subjects of a technical or special character, to test tlie capacity which may be needed in any part of the elassified service which requires peculiar information or skill. Examinations hereunder may be competitive or non-competitive, and the maximum limitations of age contained in the twelfth rule shall not apply to appli- cants for the same. The application for, and notice of, these special examinations, the records thereof, and the certification of those found competent shall be such as the Commission may provide for. After consulting the head of any Department or office, the Commission may from time to time designate, subject to the approval of the President, the positions therein for which applicants may be required to pass this special examination. Rule VIII. — No question in any examination, or pro- ceeding by or under the Commission or examiners, shall call for the expression or disclosure of any political or religious opinion or affiliation; and if such opinion or affiliation be known, no discrimination shall be made by reason thereof by the examiners, the Commission, or the appointing power. The Commission and its examiners stiall discountenance all disclosure, before either of tliem, of such opinion by or concerning any applicant for ex- amination or by or concerning any one whose name is on any register awaiting appointment.

All officers receiving such ap- plications will indorse thereon the date of the reception thereof and transmit the same to the proper examining board of the district or office where service is sought, or, if in Washington, to the Civil-Service Commission. Rule X. — Every examining board shall keep such re- cords and such papers on file, and make such reports as the Commission shall require; and any such paper or record in the charge of any examining board or any officer shall at all times be open to examination as the Commission shall direct, and upon its request shall be forwarded to the Commission for inspection and re- vision.

The Commission may by regulations, subject to change at any time by the President, declare the kind and measure of ill-health, physical incapacity, misrepre- sentation, and bad faith which may properly exclude any person from the right of examination, grading, or certification under these rules. It may also provide for medical certificates of physical capacity in the proper cases; and for the appropriate certification of persons so defective in sight, speech, hearing, or otherwise, as to be, apparently, disqualified for some of the duties of the part of the service which they seek to enter. Rule XII.— 1. Every regular application must be sup- ported by proper certificates of good moral character, health, and physical and mental capacity for doing the public work, the certificates to be in such form and num- ber as the regulations of the Commission shall provide; but no certificate will be received which is inconsistent with the tenth section of the Civil-Service Act. 2. No one shall be entitled to be examined for admis- sion to the Classified Postal Service if under sixteen or over thirty-five years of age, excepting messengers, stampers, and other junior assistants, who must not be under fourteen years of age; or to the Classified Cus- toms Service, or to the Classified Departmental Service, if under eighteen or over forty-five years of age; but no one shall be examined for appointment to any place in the Classified Customs Service except that of clerk or messenger who is under twenty-one years of age; but these limitations of age shall not apply to persons honor- ably discharged from the military or naval service of the country who are otherwise duly qualified.

But any applicants in the several States and Territories for appointment in the Classified Departmental Service may be notified to ap- pear for examination at any place at which an exami- nation is to be held, whether in any State or Territory, or in Washington, which shall be deemed most con- venient for them. 2. The Commission is authorized, in aid of the ap- portionment among the States and Territories, to hold examinations at places convenient for applicants from different States and Territories, or for those examination- districts which it may designate and which the President shall approve. Rule XIV. — Those examined shall be graded, and shall have their grade markedupon a register after those previously thereon, in the order of their excellence as shown by their examination-papers, except that those from the same State or Territory may be entered upon the register together, in the order of relative excellence, to facilitate apportionment. Separate registers may be kept of. those seeking to enter any part of the service in which special qualifications are required. Rule XV. — The Commission may give a certificate to any person examined, stating the grade which such per- son attained and the proficiency in the several subjects, shown by the markings. Rule XVI. — I. Whenever any officer having the power of appointment or employment shall so request, there shall be certified to him, by the Commission or the proper examining board, four names for the vacancy specified, to be taken from those graded highest on the proper register of those in his branch of the service and remain- ing eligible, regard being had to the apportionment of appointments to States and Territories; and from the said four a selection shall be made for the vacancy. 2. These certifications for the service at Washington shall be made in such order as to apportion, as nearly as may be practicable, the original appointments thereto among the States and Territories and the District of Columbia, upon the basis of population as ascertained at the last preceding census. 3. In case the request for any such certification or any CIVIL-SERVICE RULES. 243 law or regulation shall call for those of either sex, the four highest of that sex shall be certified, otherwise sex shall be disregarded in such certification. 4. No person upon any register shall be certified more than four times to the same officer in the customs or postal service, or more than twice to any Department at Washington, unless upon request of the appointing officer; nor shall any one remain eligible more than one year upon any register. No person while remaining eligible on any register shall be admitted to a new ex- amination, and no person having failed upon any ex- amination shall within six months thereafter be admitted to another examination without the consent of the Com- mission. But these restrictions shall not extend to ex- aminations under clause 5 of rule 7. 5. Any person appointed to or employed in any part of the classified service, after due certification for the same under these rules, who shall be dismissed or sepa- rated therefrom without fault or delinquency on his part, may be reappointed or re-employed in the same part or grade of such service at the same office, within eight months next following such dismissal or separa- tion, without further examination. Rule XVII. — I. Every original appointment or em- ployment in said classified service shall be for the pro- bationary period of six months, at the end of which time, if the conduct and capacity of the person appointed have been found satisfactory, the probationer shall be abso- lutely appointed or employed, but otherwise be deemed out of the service. 2. Every officer under whom any probationer shall serve during any part of the probation provided for by these rules shall carefully observe the quality and value of the service rendered by such probationer, and shall report to the proper appointing officer, in writing, the facts observed by him, showing the character and qualifications of such probationer, and of the service performed by him; and such reports shall be preserved on file. 3. Every false statement knowingly made by any per- son in his application for examination, and every con- nivance by him at any false statement made in any 244 THE COMPETITIVE EXAMINATIONS. certificate which may accompany his application, shall be regarded as good cause for the removal or discharge of such person during his probation. Rule XVIII. — Every head of a Department or office shall notify the Commission of the name of every person appointed to or employed in the classified service under him (giving the date of the appointment and the designa- tion of the office or place) from those examined under the Commission; and shall also inform the Commission of the date of any rejection or final appointment or em- ployment of any probationer, and of the promotion, re- moval, discharge, resignation, transfer, or death of any such person after probation. Every head of any office in the postal or customs service shall give such infor- mation on these subjects to the board of examiners for his office as the regulations of the Commission may pro- vide for.

Persons employed exclusively in the secret service of the Government, or as translators, or inter- preters, or stenographers. 7. Persons whose employ- ment is exclusively professional. 8. Chief clerks, deputy collectors and superintendents, or chiefs of divisions or bureaus. But no person so excepted shall be either transferred, appointed, or promoted, unless to some ex- cepted place, without an examination under the Com- mission. Promotions may be made without examination in offices where examinations for promotion are not now held, until rules on the subject shall be promulgated. Rule XX. — If the failure of competent persons to at- tend and be examined, or the prevalence of contagious disease or other sufficient cause, shall make it imprac- ticable to supply in due season for any appointment the names of persons who have passed a competitive exami- nation, the appointment may be made of a person who CIVIL-SERVICE RULES. 245 has passed a non-competitive examination, which exami- nation the Commission may provide for; but its next report shall give the reason for sucli resort to non-com- petitive examination. Rule XXI. — I. No person, unless excepted under rule 19, shall be admitted into the classified civil service, from any place not within sapid. service, without an exam- ination and certification under the rules; nor shall any person who has passed only a limited examination under clause 4 of rule 7, for the lower classes or grades in the departmental or customs service, be promoted within two years after appointment to any position giving a salary of $1000, or upwards, without first passing an examination under clause i of said rule, and such exami- nation shall not be allowed within the first year after appointment. 2. But a person who has passed the examination under said clause i, and has accepted a position giving a sal- ary of $900 or less, shall have the same right of promo- tion as if originally appointed to a position giving a sal- ary of $1000 or more. 3. The Commission may at any time certify for a $900 or any lower place in the classified service any person upon the register who has passed the examination under clause I of rule 7, if such person does not object before such certification is made. Hule XXII. — The Civil-Service Commission will make appropriate regulations for carrying these rules into effect. Rule XXIII. — Every violation, by any officer in the executive civil service, of these rules, or of the nth, 12th, 13th, or 14th section of the Civil-Service Act, relating to political assessments, shall be good cause for removal.

Approved July 18, 1884. Regulations. The United States Civil-Service Commission, acting under the authority of the Civil-Service Act of January 16, 1883, and the rules promulgated by the President, makes the following regulations: Chief Examiner. — i. The Chief Examiner shall, as far as practicable, except when otherwise directed by the Commission, attend the examinations held by the sev- eral boards of examiners. He shall take care to secure accuracy, uniformity, and justice in all their proceedings, which shall at all times be open to him; but leaving the duty of the examiners, in marking and grading those ex- amined, unimpaired. The Commission will, in its dis- cretion, designate one of its own members, or request the detail of a suitable person, to supervise examinations whenever deemed needful. 2. He shall prepare and submit to the approval of the Commission proper forms and questions. He shall take care that the rules and regulations are complied with, and bring every case of injustice and irregularity ob- served by him to the attention of the Commission. He shall take such part as the Commission shall assign him in the work at Washington. It shall be his duty to con- fer, from time to time, with the heads of the postal and customs offices which he officially visits concerning the regularity, sufficiency, and convenience of the examina- tions for the service under them. Secretary. — 3. The Secretary shall keep the minutes of the proceedings of the Commission and have charge of and be responsible for the safe-keeping of the books, records, papers, and other property in its office. He shall make the proper certification of those eligible for the departmental service. He shall generally conduct the CIVIL-SERVICE REGULATIONS. 247 correspondence of the Commission and perform such other appropriate duties as it may assign to him. Boards of Examiners. — -4. The General Board of Exam- iners for the departmental service shall consist of two persons from the Treasury Department, two from the Post-Office Department, two from the Interior Depart- ment, and one from each of the other Departments. But any three members may be designated by the Commis- sion to constitute the acting Examining Board for any examination. The secretary of the Board of Examiners for the de- partmental service shall keep a record of its proceed- ings and have charge of its papers. 5. In case of examinations to be held at other places than those having the classified service, the Commission will designate an Examining Board for that purpose. 6. For each post-office the Board of Examiners shall consist of three persons. 7. The Examiners for each customs district shall con- sist of two persons selected from the office of the col- lector, and one from each of the other customs offices which are subject to the rules; but if there be no office subject thereto except that of the collector, the three shall be selected from his office. 8. Three Examiners may serve as a Board for con- ducting any examination; and the Examiners for any customs district will determine which three shall hold any examination, taking care that, if an examination is wholly or mainly for any office, one or more of the ex- aminers from that office shall be on the acting Board. In case of a failure or disagreement as to which three shall be the Board for any examination, the Commission or Chief Examiner shall designate the local examiners who shall serve. In case of the disability or necessary absence of one of the three examiners selected, the other two may conduct the examination. 9. Each Examining Board in the postal and customs service shall -select one of its members to serve as secre- tary, and it shall be his duty to keep a complete record of the proceedings of the Board and of all examinations held. He shall also keep the Record of Applicants and Examinations, and the Register of Persons Eligible for 248 THE COMPETITIVE EXAMINATIONS. Appointment. He shall have charge of all books and papers belonging to the Board and shall be responsible for their safe-keeping. On application of the proper ap- pointing officer, he shall certify to sucli officer, in con- formity to the rules, the names of the four persons of highest grade remaining on the register. He shall also answer all proper requests for application-blanks, and send due notifications to applicants to be examined, and shall give all other notices required to be given by the Board. 10. No examiner or officer serving under the Commis- sion must attempt to control or influence appointments, removals, or promotions. 11. Care must be taken by the examiners not to allow such visitors as they may admit, nor any conversation or other cause, to obstruct or distract those being ex- amined. 12. Examiners must not disclose for public informa- tion, unless by consent, the names of those examined, nor more than the general results of examinations. 13. Complaints which show injustice or unfairness on the part of any Examining Board, or any one acting under the Commission, will be considered by the Com- mission, and if necessary it will revise the marking and grading on the papers, or order a new examination, or otherwise do justice in the premises. 14. The head of each post-office and of each customs office to which the rules are applicable should inform the local Board of Examiners of probable vacancies, that examinations for filling them may be held in due season, and (as contemplated by rule 18) should promptly in- form the Board of Examiners for his office of the name of every person refusing an appointment or employ- ment, or who shall be appointed to or employed in the classified service under him (giving the date of the ap- pointment and the designation of the office or place), and of the name of every person rejected or finally ap- pointed or employed after probation, including the date thereof, and of the promotion, removal, discharge, resig- nation, transfer, or death of every such person. 15. The Board of Examiners for each office or district must promptl)^ notify the Commission of the need of CIVIL-SERVICE REGULATIONS. 249 holding an examination in and for such office or district, and may appoint the time for the same, but subject to any change the Commission may find it necessary to make for the more convenient and effective discharge of its duty to see that the examinations are accurate, uni- form, and just. The notice must state under which clause or clauses of rule 7 the applicants are to be ex- amined, and must, when practicable, be given at least twenty days before the time appointed therein for the examinations. Examinations. — 16. Notices in writing should be mailed to applicants for examination in the postal and customs service at least eight days before the examination, except in cases of non-competitive and special examinations, and they shall clearly specify the place and the time, including the hour, of holding the same. 17. All competitive examinations for admission to the civil service shall be in writing, except that tests of phy- sical qualities or expertness may be added as the Com- mission shall approve. 18. The examination-sheets will be given out in the order of their numbers; each, after the first, being given only when the applicant shall return to the examiners the last sheet taken by him. 19. Not more than ten questions shall be given in any subject of the examination; and, to facilitate the marking, the questions in the same subject shall, as far as prac- ticable, be equal in difficulty. Care shall also be taken that the time allotted for the examination shall be rea- sonably sufficient for answering the questions. 20. In general no competitive examination should oc- cupy more than five hours, and every Examiner will ex- ercise all due dilligence to secure fairness, and to prevent all collusion or fraud in the examinations. In case the Board of Examiners shall find that any per- son has made material misrepresentations of facts for the purpose of securing an examination or preference, or has been guilty of bad faith or fraud during an examination, in order to cause advantage or prejudice to any person, it will be the duty of the Board to report upon the mat- ter fully and promptly to the Commission, and the mark- ing, grading, or certification of such person may be sus- 2 so THE COMPETITIVE EXAMINATIONS. pended pending the action of the Commission upon the subject. 21. The examination-papers of each applicant shall be marked only with the number, and his name with his number shall be placed in a sealed envelope, which shall not be opened until after his papers are marked. 22. The examination-papers shall, so far as practicable, be reviewed by each Examiner separately, and in any case of disagreement the average of the markings, to be made on the papers by all, shall be the final marking on each question, subject to the regulation as to revision. 23. The views of the heads of post-ofHces and customs offices, as to whether applicants for the several parts of the service under them shall be examined in the five sub jects under clause i of rule 7, or only in a less number of subjects under clause 4 of that rule, will be accepted by the Commission so far as its duty to require uniform- ity and adequate tests of capacity for doing the public work will permit. Marking and Grading. — 24. To whichever of the five subjects or parts thereof, mentioned in rule 7, a com- petitive examination may extend, the marking and grad- ing of the applicant upon each is to be conducted in the same way. 25. To determine the Standing of the applicant in any subject, mark and credit each answer in proportion to its completeness and accuracy according to regulations prescribed for each subject; the perfect answer being credited 100. Divide the sum of the credits by the num- ber of questions upon the subject; the quotient will be the applicant's Standing in that subject. 26. To determine whether any applicant has reached an Average Standing of 65 per centum in the first two or the first three subjects, add the figures marking the ap- plicant's Standing in each; divide their sum by the num- ber of the subjects, and the quotient will be the Average Standing therein. 27. No applicant is entitled to go upon the Register of those eligible for appointment whose Average Standing upon the first three subjects, or such parts thereof as are covered by the examination, is below 65 per centum; therefore, when the marking and grading have been car- CIVIL-SERVICE REGULATIONS. 251 ried so far as to show such Average Standing to be below 65 per centum, they need not be carried farther; and if the examination includes no part of the fourth or fifth subject, such Average Standing will be the General Average to be entered on the Register. 28. To whatever number of subjects the examination may extend, the General Average will be ascertained by dividing the sum of the marking showing the Standings in each of the subjects by the number of subjects. 29. Every example, though it be a case of dictation or copying, is regarded as a question under these regula- tions, and, although only a portion of the topics included in a subject under rule 7 is embraced in the examina- tion, it will, for the purpose of the marking, be treated as a subject. The following example illustrates these directions: [Sum of credits in eacli subject divided by number of questions gives credit in that subject.] First subject.

The Commission shall be immediately notified of such necessity and of the grounds thereof, showing that it is impracticable to supply in due season for any ap- pointment the names of persons who have passed a com- petitive examination by reason of the failure of competent persons to attend and be examined, or the prevalence of contagious disease, or other sufficient cause. 31. If the Commission shall not disapprove the hold- ing of a non-competitive examination, the Secretary of the Commission at Washington, or of the Examining Board for any post-office or customs district, shall notify for such examinations any persons whose names may be on the record, as applicants for places analogous to those to be filled, and whom the exigency of time may allow to be notified, not less in number than the vacancies and places to be provided for, nor more than four for each of them. 32. If the number of applicants on the record be in- sufficient to furnish such supply, then the Examining Board, or in its absence the Secretary, may notify other suitable persons, nominated by said Board or Secretary, upon consultation with the head of the office, who, taken together with said regular applicants notified, shall, if practicable, be not less in number than four to each place to be filled. The persons selected for appoint- ment or employment shall be required to make oath to the proper application-paper before entering upon their official duties. 33. The non-competitive examination shall conform as nearly as practicable, in subjects, questions, and mark- ing, to the competitive examinations of the same grade; but no person shall be appointed under such non-com- petitive examination whose average standing upon the first three subjects, clause i, rule 7, or such parts there- of as may be used, is less than 65 per centum: JProvtded, There are those who pass at or above that grade from whom the places can be filled. 34. The names of all the persons passing the examina- tion shall be certified to the proper officer, and the exist- ing vacancies shall be filled thereform; but no person by reason of such non-competitive examination shall be CIVIL-SERVICE REGULATIONS. 253 appointed at any other time tlian during such exigency or to any other vacancy or place. 35. A record shall be kept by the local Examining Board, and by the Secretary of the Commission at Wash- ington, of the persons thus notified, examined, and ap- pointed, or employed, and copies of notices and the ex- amination-papers shall be preserved; and said Board shall, after each such examination and appointment, make full report to the Civil-Service Commission of all the facts. 36. In case a majority of the Commission may not be present when an examination hereunder may need to be held at Washington, the same may be conducted under the charge of the Chief Examiner and any two members of the Board of Examiners. Special Examinations. — 37. Special Boards of Examin- ers will, when deemed necessary, be designated by the Commission for the examinations in special and techni- cal subjects under clause 5, rule 7, and one or more members of each such Board will be selected from the office or bureau for which the Board is to serve. These special Boards shall be subject to the regulations pre- scribed by the Commission for the general Examining Boards as far as they are applicable, except as herein otherwise provided. 38. Applications for any special examination must be made in the form prescribed by the Commission, and must be accompanied by certificates as required in the case of ordinary applications. The minimum limitations of age shall be the same as those prescribed by rule 12 for the several branches of the service, but no maximum limitations shall be required except such as the Commis- sion may from time to time prescribe. 39. Whenever a special examination is to be held, no- tice in writing, specifying the time and place of the ex- amination, shall be sent to a suitable number of appli- cants, in the order of their application for the same, in time to allow their attendance. 40. Each special examination shall embrace the sub- jects approved by the Commission therefor, after consul- tation with the head of the office concerned or the special Examining Board for such office; and shall, as far as 254 THE COMPETITIVE EXAMINATION'S. appropriate, be conducted under the same general regu- lations as to the marking of the examination-papers and the grading of the persons examined as those for ordinary examinations. 41. A special Record of Applicants and a special Regis- ter of Eligibles shall be kept for each part of the service or office requiring special examinations; and when the Csmmission or the proper Examining Board shall be notified by the appointing officer of a vacancy in such part of the service, certification shall be made to him of the names of the four persons graded highest on the special List of Eligibles for the same, or of a different number when good reasons may require it; and a person may be certified more than twice to the same Depart- ment from a special Register. 42. In case that competent special applicants do not apply, or do not appear for a competitive examination after suitable notice, a non-competitive examination may be held, in as near conformity as may be to the regula- tions provided for non-competitive examinations for admission to the service. For such examination appli- cants on the general Record, and persons on the general Register of Eligibles whose application-papers claim the special knowledge required, may be notified, and if they appear shall be examined, as if special applicants; but no person so examined shall forfeit his right to the gen- eral examinations, or lose his place on any Register of Eligibles by reason of his special examination. 43. Whenever any officer in the customs or postal service to whom a certification has been made shall ob- ject in writing to any person in such certification because of ill-health or physical incapacity, specifying the same, the person so objected to shall furnish such officer, within a reasonable time, not exceeding three days from time of notice of such objection, a certificate of the nearest medical officer of the Revenue Marine or Marine Hospital Service declaring him physically competent for the posi- tion sought; in the case of failure to furnish such certifi- cate another name shall be substituted in the certification. Such certification shall count as one of the four due such person. All such cases shall be reported promptly to the Commission. INFORMATION FOR APPLICANTS. 255 44. The examinations for clerks in the postal service shall embrace suitable questions in \h& first, second, fourth, axid. fifth subjects mentioned in clause i, rule 7. The examinations for carriers shall embrace suitable questions in the first and second s\ih]e.cts, and ia the ^^i?^- raphy of the fifth. Examinations for porters, pilers, stamp-boys, or junior clerks, and messengers, or other employes whose work is chiefly manual, may be limited to the first and second subjects. Adopted September i, 1884. INFORMATION FOR APPLICANTS. It is incumbent*ipon the applicant first to decide upon the particular branch of the service for which he will compete. For the ordinary departmental service at Washington there are two grades of examination-papers, known as the "Limited Examination" and the '.' General Examination." The former refers to places receiving salaries of not over $900 per annum, and the latter to positions receiving over $900 and not over $1800. The applicant must declare in his application which of these examinations he will take. There are also positions in the Departments for which special and technical ex- aminations are held. Notice is always given in advance of such examinations. In applying for the customs service at the numerous local offices it is requisite to designate one of the follow- ing positions: Clerks ($900to$i20o per annum); inspec- tors ($3 to $4 per diem, including Sundays); assistant weighers ($3 to $4 per diem, excluding Sundays^; night- inspectors ($2 to $3 per diem, including Sundays). These rates of compensation vary according to localities, the highest being paid in New York and San Francisco. The "application-paper" is the same for all positions alike, and can be obtained of the Commission, of any board of examiners, and of the heads of offices where examinations are held. 256 THE COMPETITIVE EXAMINATIONS. Application-Paper, United States Civil-Service Commission. Directions.— \. All the statements in the application are to be made under oath. 2. Every false statement knowingly made in this paper, or con- nived at in any certificate which may accompany the same, is good cause for discharge during probation. 3. The application-paper must be filled in the applicant's own handwriting. 4. Send application after being filled out as follows: " (i) If for the classified departmental service at Washington, to the U. S. Civil-Ser- vice Commission, Washington, D. C. (2) If for the classified postal service, to the postmaster under whom service is sought. (3) If for the classified customs service, to the head of either customs office in the customs district in which service is sought." (See Civil-Service Act, sections 6 and 7, and also Civil-Service Rule 5.) 5. The limits of age for entering the service are as follows: For the postal service, not under 16 nor over 35, excepting messengers, stampers, and other junior assistants, who must not be under 14 years of age; for the customs service or the departmental service, not under 18 nor over 45; but no one can be examined for any place in the customs service, except that of clerk or messenger, who is under 21 years of age. These limitations of age shall not apply to persons honorably discharged from the military or naval service of the coun- try who are otherwise duly qualified. 6. The examination, if it shows the requisite capacity, will entitle the applicant to be placed on the register of persons found eligible to appointment, and to be certified, in his turn, to the appointing officer. 7. No recommendations or certificates besides those provided for at the end of this blank will be received, and no additional recom- mendations can be of any use in securing an appointment. 8. Applicants (so far as the needs of apportionment will permit) will be notified of the first examination which may be deemed conveniently located for them to attend, after their applications are received. They should give notice of any change of post-office address. 9. A failure to fill properly the blanks, or to send satisfactory cer- tificates, will cause the application-paper to be returned for correction. Applications which show that the applicant lacks the qualifications as to age, health, etc., required by the rules, will be rejected. 10. Applicants will be notified of the result of their examination, and when appointed will receive notice from the appointing officer. 11. Those who pass the general examination for the departmental service under clause i of rule 7 may be appointed to places giving a salary of $1000 or upward, or, if they accept a position giving ing a salary of $goo or less, may be promoted to positions giving a salary of $1000 or more without further examination before the Com- mission; but those who pass the limited examination under clause 4 of rule 7 must pass the general examination before reaching a place giving a salary above $goo a year.

As an illustration of the method of conducting an ex- amination, a competition for "clerkship" in the New York custom-house will be described. The competitors punctually appear at the hour and place specified, and on handing their notices to the Sec- retary at the door each receives in return a card bearing his "desk-number." The Secretary retains the notice, which he numbers in accordance with the card. The competitor seeks the desk which is indicated by the num- ber on his card. He is then handed a preliminary paper called "Applicant's Declaration," which he promptly fills up, places in an envelope which he numbers with his desk-number, seals and delivers to the Secretary.

This preparatory work being accomplished, it is cus- tomary for the chairman of the Board to call the class to order and to address it in something like these terms: "Gentlemen, if you will give me your entire attention, I will ex- plain to you the methods of this examination. Remember, in the first place, that no names are to appear upon any subsequent paper furnished you, but upon each sheet must at once be placed your desk (or applicant's) number. Should any of you write his name or fail to place his numlaer upon a sheet, that sheet must be thrown out as null and void. Do not attempt to answer a question until you have thoroughly studied it.

In the arithmetic, always put down enough of the work to show the process or method by which you reach the answer and all the computations which the space will allow. There is no special credit for time, but all papers not finished at the hour of closing must be abandoned. There is, however, no necessity for nervous haste, as the work is not excessive. No recess is allowed ; gentlemen having occasion to leave the room will first, if practicable, complete the sheet in hand. Penmanship will be judged and marked from sheet No. 2, which is an example for copying. The first exer- cise will be writing from dictation, but the extract which you are after- wards to take down will first be read for your information. It will then be again read in short paragraphs, which you are to write down as they are read. No word will be repeated: what you fail to catch you must lose." Preliminary.

Copy as much of the dictation as possible, writing clearly and compactly. The "dictation" papers being quickly gathered up, sheet No. 2 is distributed, and the others in succession. Sheet 2. Question 2. Copy the following precisely: "The unlimited power to grant office and to take it away gives a command over the hopes and fears of a vast multitude of men. It is generally true that he who controls another man's means of living controls his will. Where there are favors to be granted there are usually enough to solicit for them; and when favors once granted may be withdrawn at pleasure, there is ordi- 264 THE COMPETITIVE EXAMINATIONS. narily little security for personal independence of character. The power of giving office thus affects the fears of all who are in and the hopes of all who are out. Those who are out endeavor to distinguish themselves by active political friendship, by warm personal devo- tion, by clamorous support of men in whose hands is the power of reward; while those who are in ordinarily take care that others shall not surpass them in such qualities or such conduct as are most likely to secure favor. They resolve not to be outdone in any of the works of partisanship. The consequence of all this is obvious." — [Daniel Webster, 1835.] " Of the minor or base metal coins, 46,865,725 pieces were struck, in value $644,757.75.

The marking and grading of papers is commenced and finished as soon as practicable. Considerable delay sometimes occurs, as local Boards of Examiners are not relieved of their regular ofl5cial duties and their additional labors in the competitive examinations are unre- quited. After the result has been declared, the names of all com- petitors reaching an average mark of 65 are placed on the "eligible list," the highest mark being first on the list and the rest in due suc- cession. The following notice of his standing is mailed to every competitor : Notice of Applicant's Standing. U. S. Ciinl-Service Commission, Office Board of Examiners, , 188 . For the service at . To : The average standing attained by you at the competi- tive examination held at , on the day of 188 , was per cent. You are therefore entitled to be on the Register of those eligible for appointment in the branch of the service for which you were examined. Those entered upon the Register remain thereon and are eligible for appointment for the period of one year, unless sooner appointed. No further application or request is needed from them. Each one will be certified to the proper authority when his name is reached on the Register, and when appointed he will be notified of his appointment. Secretary Board of Examiners. Perfect Standing, 100. Rule 16, clause 4, declares that " No person while remaining eligible on any Register shall be admitted to a new examination, and no person having failed upon any examination shall within six months thereafter be admitted to another examination without the consent of the Commission. But these restrictions shall not extend to exami- nations under clause 5 of rule 7." 268 THE COMPETITIVE EXAMINATIONS. The examination-papers are open to the inspection of any competitor, after he has been informed of his final standing. Names remain eligible for two years. When the ap- pointing officer wishes to make a selection for appoint- ment, he sends the following notice to the Board: Notice of Vacancy and Request for Certification of Eligibles.

I have, therefore, to request that you will certify to me the names of the four applicants of the highest grade remaining on your Register of Eli- gibles for that branch of the service.

In the customs service at New York, the following notice is sent to the person appointed, as soon as such appointment is confirmed by the Secretary of the Treas- ury: Port of New York, Office, , 188 . Sir: Having been selected for appointment under the "Act to Regulate and Improve the] Civil Service," ap- proved January 16, 1883, and your nomination having been confirmed by the Secretary of the Treasury, you are hereby appointed in this office, at a compen- sation of $ per , for a probationary term of six months. If at the end of that term satisfactory evi- dence of your fitness shall have been furnished to the proper appointing officer, your appointment will be made permanent; otherwise your employment under this appointment will cease. To . It must be remembered that this appointment is merely for a term of six months, "on probation." If his con- duct or capacity is not found satisfactory during that period, his connection with the service will cease; but if approved, his appointment ^ill be made permanent, in which case the Civil-Service Commission receives the following notification: 270 THE COMPETITIVE EXAMINATIONS. Port of New York, ■ Office, , i88 . The probationary term of appointment under the "Act to Regulate and Improve the Civil Service," ap- proved January i6, 1883, of expires on the . I hereby certify that his conduct and capacity during such term have been satisfactory, and I therefore do recommend his absolute appointment to a per- manent position in the Customs Service. Very respectfully. To Hon. Civil-Service Commission, Washington, D. C. For sufficient cause the head of the office may termi- nate the appointment of a probationer before the expira- tion of six months. Indeed, the civil-service law does not interfere with the right of removal. It merely de- stroys the privilege of arbitrary appointment and thus removes the motive for unjust removals. Although rule 7 distinctly explains the subjects em- braced in the examinations, it is surprising how frequently it is urged by a competitor, as an excuse for failure, that he had "forgotten" those matters, or that he "had not practised such problems," etc., etc. Now there is usu- ally ample time between the filing of an application and the day of examination in which to renew such knowl- edge as any one has ever enjoyed concerning the subjects mentioned in the rule; and candidates are rec- ommended to devote their spare hours to studies in arithmetic, grammar, book-keeping and accounts, and the geography, history, and constitution of the United States. A regular, neat, and legible handwriting is of especial value, and it can be acquired by almost any one in a comparatively short time. A variety of examination-papers which have actually been used in examinations will be found in this manual. Although precisely the same questions are not likely to be again utilized, yet the student who thoroughly mas- ters these will find himself tvell equipped for future trials. It should be understood that for certain branches of the DESCRIPTION OF PROCEEDINGS. 2/1 service, such as " examiners in the Patent OflSce" and in the "Appraiser's Department of Customs," and for other positions where scientific knowledge and technical ex- pertness are prime requirements, the questions are of a more abstruse and exacting character than the ordinary- questions for admission. For out-door positions the appointing oflBcer has author- ity to send any candidate whom he has selected for nomi- nation before a surgeon for a physical examination to prove his fitness. It is not unlikely that this examina- tion will hereafter be required in every case. Special Limitations. Clerkships in the departmental service at Washington are distributed, pro rata, among the several States, ac- cording to the act of August 5, 1882: " Sec. 4 The employes herein provided for shall, as far as may be consistent with the interests of the service, be apportioned among the several States and Territories according to population." This provision, however consistent with political neces- sity, certainly operates to neutralize the principle of selection according to merit as shown by the eligible list. When the turn of any particular State comes round, it is made incumbent upon the Commission to pass every other State represented by superior standing, and to furnish a certificate containing the names of eligi- bles from that State to which an appointment has become due. A candidate, after winning the highest honors, may thus see all those below him inducted into the ser- vice before the State which he represents succeeds to preferment. The rights of soldiers and sailors, as defined by sec- tion 1754 Rev. Stat., are carefully preserved under the Civil-Service Act. The statute is as follows: " Persons honorably discharged from the military or naval service by reason of disability resulting from wounds or sickness incurred in the line of duty shall be preferred for appointment to civil offices, provided they are found to possess the business capacity necessary for the proper discharge of the duties of said offices." The Commission has decided that any such person 272 l^HE COMPETITIVE EXAMINATIONS. who attains a position on the eligible list has, for the purposes of appointment, demonstrated the " business capacity," and is therefore entitled to the preference named in the statute. An additional concession to persons who have been honorably discharged from the military or naval service of the United States is made in the removal, as regards them, of the restriction concerning age.

In reply to your inquiries you are informed that internal revenue and not duties on imports are col- lected by this office that the Chief Clerk is the highest in rank of the two officers which you refer to that the number of articles on which taxes are collected are not as great as formerly, and that of the officers of this bureau the Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner are only appointed by the President. The first two Commissioner of Internal Revenues de- cisions on the legal question which you present are not accessible, and the several Secretarys constructions of. the law differs considerable from each other.

Sir, if this course of things cannot be checked, good men will grow tired of the exercise of political privileges. They will see that such elections are but a mere selfish contest for office, and they will abandon the Government to the scramble of the bold, the daring, and the desperate." — t)aniel Webster on Civil Service, in 1832. 314 EXAMPLES OF EXAMINATION-PAPERS.

Clause 5 of Rule VII. provides for examinations of a technical or special character for such positions as require "peculiar information and skill." In such instances, questions to ascertain general capacity are first presented, followed by such as test aptitude for the particular duties demanded in the position involved. In classes for pro- motion the final questions are designed to ascertain the competitor's acquaintance with customs procedures and his facility in the kind of work required. EXAMINATION FOR PROMOTION IN NEW YORK CUSTOM-HOUSE. Below are the questions used in an examination of candidates for promotion to the " Liquidating Depart- ment" in the New York Naval Office. It is in this de- partment that the duties on all entries of imported merchandise are finally adjusted on the basis of the Ap- praiser's report. The work requires a general knowledge of the tariff and of customs regulations; it involves com- parison, analysis, and difficult computations, a good mas- tery of foreign weights, measures, and currencies, and general intelligence. The questions are carefully framed, so as to elicit the kind of ability demanded in the posi- tion sought, and will be found of interest to the general reader as well as to the political economist. Some of the problems, based upon actual customs provisions, illustrate very forcibly the absurd conditions of our com- plex tariff. For instance, take " applied problem" No. 2, in which the rate of duty depends upon actual cost. Three lots of wool are specified in this problem, and the solution will exhibit facts quite in consonance with the daily results of liquidation. On the first lot of wool, the value of which is $10,232.32, a difference of 41 cents in the total cost would produce a difference of $537.20 in the amount of duty. On the second lot, value 149,978.88, a difference of 7 cents in cost would reduce the duty EXAMINATION FOR CUSTOMS SERVICE. 32 1 $2623.89; while on the third lot, costing $5792.64, a dif- ference of 5 cents would increase the duty $1448.16. In problem 5 a variation of .1 of one pound in weight in one lot, and of .0025 of one pound in the other, would determine the classification for duty. EXAUFLE No. 15. LIQUIDATING DEPARTMENT, N. Y.

Copying and Orthography. Question i. A dictation will be given by one of the ex- aminers, and the persons being examined will write with the type-writer as much of the dictation as possible. Three minutes will be allowed at the close for punctuat- ing the exercise. Question 2. Copy the following precisely: "The amount of the funded debt redeemable at any time before September i, 1891, which will remain unpaid on the 30th of June, 1883, is about $300,000,000, and upon the foregoing estimates for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1883, the whole funded debt now redeemable could be paid before June 30, 1886. This would leave as the surplus for more than five years the amount of $600,000,- ^ 000 undisposed of in the Treasury, unless, yielding to ; the temptation 0/ seeming wealth, expenditures be largely increased. The amount of the loan redeemable in 1891 is only $250,000,000, and, as has been stated, no other loan becomes redeemable until 1907, so that the surplus under the conditions supposed will rapidly in- 336 EXAMPLES OF EXAMINATION-PAPERS. crease until that date. The amount of the loan of 1907, as already appears, is less than $740,000,000, so that, were it all redeemable, the whole public debt could be paid from a surplus as great as estimated early in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1894." — Report of the Secretary of the Treasury, 1882.

Next in order and of equal importance to the reform of the national civil service is that which has been inaugurated in States and municipalities. In these spheres the abuses of patronage and corruption have been as flagrant as in the broader field of the nation, and the evils of maladministration have been as patent. Indeed it is the quality of local government which affects most sensibly the daily life of the citizen, and it is here that relief will most speedily become apparent. The first State to adopt the reformed methods was New York, during the administration of Governor Cleveland, and her example has already been imitated by Massa- chusetts. The first city voluntarily to apply the com- petitive system was Brooklyn, under Seth Low, Mayor; the State law now compels its enforcement in every incorporated city in the State. The State civil-service statutes, as finally amended, are hardly susceptible of improvement, so judicious and thorough are their provisions. The Brooklyn rules have already been cited, as a model for other municipali- ties. The competitive system cannot fail to pervade other States and cities as soon as its beneficent effects are recognized. THE CIVIL SERVICE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Although the limits of this volume will preclude a comprehensive and detailed description of the State system, yet it will be practicable to describe its general arrangement and the regulations for admission. 426 THE STATE AND MUNICIPAL SERVICE.

Second. And among other things, said rules shall provide and declare, as nearly as the conditions of good administration will warrant, as follows : (i) For open, competitive examinations for testing the fitness of applicants for the public service now classified or to be classified hereunder.

(2) All the offices, places, and employments so arranged or to be arranged in classes shall be filled by selections from among those graded highest as the ' results of such competitive examinations. (3) There shall be a period of probation before any absolute appointment or employment aforesaid. (4) Promotions from the lower grades to the higher shall be on the basis of merit and competition. (5) No person in the public service is for that reason under any obligation to contribute to any political fund, or to render any political service, and no person shall be removed or other- wise prejudiced for refusing to do so.

I hereby certify that I have this day carefully and thoroughly examined, in accordance with the above instructions, and find that he is sound in limb and body, is able-bodied, of a robust constitution, has good eyesight, and good hearing, and in my opinion is physically qualified to sustain the labors and exposures, and perform the duties, of a and that the above is a truthful record of the examination. Signed, New York, i88 . Regulation ii. — The Examining Board shall designate some suitable person who shall also test the strength, activity, and physical capacity of the applicant by suitable examination into the strength of his lungs, and the strength of his back, chest, legs, and arms. These tests shall be submitted to and approved by the Advisory Board, and shall include the appli- cant's swiftness and endurance in running. In case of applica- tions for positions on the uniformed force either of the Police Department or Department of Public Parks, his skill in the use of the club and in firing at a mark shall also be tested. Such examiner shall report in writing to the Board of Examiners the result of such examination. Regulation 22. — No applicant shall be admitted to exami- nation who is not physically sound. Regulation 23. — Applicants for positions shall then be submitted for further examination as to general qualifications. general qualifications. 1. General Character. — To include habits and reputation, and to be ascertained in such manner as the Examining Board may determine with the aid directed by Regulation 18. 2. Experience. — * Obtained either in actual service as a police officer (or fireman, as the case may be), or in other occupation tending to qualify for such service. * " It is not the intent and meaning of the second clause of Regu- lation 23 to limit the experience of the applicant to an occupation that shall directly qualify him for the police force. The true intent and meaning of that clause is to direct the attention of the examiners to the previous occupation of the applicant, so that they may deter- mine the tendency of suchprevious occupation for fitness to the police force. For example, if the previous occupation of the applicant should have been of a sedentary character, it would be a matter for the examiners to decide whether he should not be thereby disquali- fied, or, in other words, his mark for ' experience' should not be less than 60."

If the previous occupation of the applicant should have been of such a character as to directly qualify him for the police force — such as service in the army or navy, or in the police force of another city, or in any active out-door employment where he is thrown upon his own resources— he should be given the benefit of such experience and receive a mark for Sl8 THE STATE AND MUNICIPAL SERVICE. The general average shall be ascertained by multiplying the ascertained average standing of the applicant in each qualifica- tion by the value attached thereto, and dividing the united products by lo, the sum of the values. No person whose standing on any of the qualifications or obligatory subjects enumerated above (except experience) is less than 60, or whose ascertained average on all is below 70, shall be entered on the eligible list. Regulation 25. — Under the head of " Rules and Regula- tions," the examiners shall endeavor to test the natural or acquired fitness of the applicants for their work. They shall be given, a reasonable time before the examination, a copy of selected rules and regulations covering the more important branches of their future duty. Cases shall be described to them — preferably actual cases taken from correct reports — and they shall be required to .state their view of what the rules would require of them in such cases. This inquiry shall in- clude a report, such as a policeman or fireman would be obliged to make, of such an occurrence. Regulation 26. — * Promotions to all positions included in Schedule C, shall be made from the next lower grade by competitive examination. The subject of such examination shall be as follows : Marks. 1. Writing from dictation 2. Handwriting 3. Knowledge of the ' ' Rules and Regulations" 4. Fines and penalties last 3 years 5. Arrests for last 12 months 6. Veracity ' experience ' higher than 60. The statement of an applicant that he has had no previous experience tending to qualify him should not be conclusive; it is the duty of the examiners to ascertain actually what the nature of his experience has been, and to determine whether such experience disqualifies him for admission to the force; and if so, he should be marked less than 60. But if it does not disqualify him, then he should receive the minimum mark of 60." * Resolved, That a. transfer to the detective service of the police force shall not be considered as a promotion but as a special detail for service, and no examination upon such detail shall be required.

Regulation 52.* — Except as herein otherwise provided, the * A letter from the Aqueduct Commission was read asking whether an appointee who has passed an examination before the Board can thereafter be promoted without further examination. The Board REGULATIONS OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK. 527 positions in the various schedules shall be filled, when vacant by the promotion of those in the service in similar or lower grades in the department, office, or institution in which the vacancy or vacancies may occur. Promotions shall be made subject to the provisions of these regulations, by the officer or officers having the power of appointment. If, in the judgment of such officer or officers, there be none found in the similar or lower grades fit to perform the duties in such vacant positions, in that case, and in no other, the positions may be filled in the same manner as is prescribed by these regulations for filling the positions inthe lowest grade of the same subdivision and class. Regulation 53.— Promotion shall, in all cases, be based upon the positive merit of the person promoted, and upon his superior qualifications as shown by his previous service. t No person in the servicewho has not passed an examination under these regulations or those heretofore prescribed shall be promoted or transferred to any position for wliich examination is required without passing an examination under the regula- tions, of the same character as would an applicant for appoint- ment to that position in the service.

(Oct 27, 1884.) f Resolved, That transfers of persons from positions included in any one grade under the existing classification of the New York civil ser- vice to other positions in the same grade shall not be considered as promotions within the meaning of the Civil-Service Regulations. (Sept. 22, 1884.) Inquiry having been made as to the character of the examination for promotion provided for by Regulation 53, it was decided that the competition for promotion was limited in the first instance to the per- sons serving in the grades below that to which the vacancy belongs. (Oct. 3, 1884.) , W. S. H., transitraan in Public Works, inquired whether he could be transferred to a similar position in the Aqueduct Commission without passing another examination. The Board decided that another examination would be necessary. (Nov. 3, 1884.) Inspectors are not considered dropped when one piece of work is finished; and when an examination is necessary, the Board will in- struct the examiners as to the character of it.

Regulation 55. — Examiners of persons named for promotion shall personally question them concerning their office-work and its purposes, in order to ascertain if they have a general and in- telligent knowledge of the business in the department in which they are employed, and may require the persons examined to give a written description of the work done by them and its re- lation to the duties of others. Regulation 56. — Subject only to the qualifications required to be ascertained in accordance with these regulations, the power of appointment and the responsibility of selection are in all cases in the appointing officer. The power of any officer to remove is not impaired by anything contained in these regula- tions. Regulation 57. — Complaints of injustice or unfairness on the part of any examiner or examining board, or of any one act- ing under the Advisory Board, shall be considered by such Board, which reserves the right to revise the marking and grad- ing on the papers, or order a new examination, or otherwise act as substantial justice in the premises may require. ■ Regulation 58. — Conduct of Examinations. — Applicants shall be admitted to examination upon the production of the official notification to appear for that purpose. Each applicant shall receive a number, which shall be indorsed upon his notification when produced, and the notification so indorsed shall be sealed in an envelope. Each applicant shall sign his examination- papers with his number, omitting his name, and the envelope shall not be opened until all the examination-papers have been received and the markings and gradings made. Regulation 59. — All examinations shall be in writing except such as refer to physical qualities or expertness, and except as herein otherwise provided. Regulation 60.— The sheets of questions shall be numbered and shall be given out in the order of tlieir numbers, each, after the first, being given only when the competitor has returned to the examiners the last sheet given to him. In general, no ex- amination shall extend beyond five hours without intermission ; and no question given out at any session, to any candidate, shall be allowed to be answered at another session. Each applicant must complete his examination on the obligatory subjects before taking up any of the optional subjects. Regulation 61. — Each examiner shall exercise all due dili- REGULATIONS OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK. S29 gence to secure fairness and prevent all collusion and fraud in the examinations.

Regulation d'i.— Mar king. \ The examination-papers shall be reviewed by each examiner separately, except where other- wise directed by the Advisory Board, and, in any case of dis- agreement, the average of the markings made on any question or paper by all shall be the final marking on such question or paper, subject to the regulation as to revision. Regulation 64. — Handwriting shall be judged by its legibility, uniform and correct formation of letters, and ease of execution. Upon a comparison of the handwriting of all the competitors, the best and worst shall be first agreed upon, and the two ex- tremes of the scale thus fixed ; the others shall be marked relatively to such extremes. \\\ writing from dictation or copy- ing from manuscript, the omission, repetition, or substitution of words, the erasures, blots, and other evidences of carelessness, shall proportionately to their numbers reduce the marking below 100. Spelling shall be marked with reference to the ratio the misspelt words bear to the whole number of words dictated. Making abstracts or summaries of documents, and letter-writing, shall be marked as in handwriting, by agreeing upon the best and worst examples and having marked them, then propor- tionately marking the others. Regulation 65. — Every paper in any examination not for- mally certified by the examiners shall be signed with his initials in ink by each examiner who has received and marked it. Regulation 66. — The regulations for admission to tlie civil service of the city of New York, and to any branch thereof heretofore prescribed or established, and the appointment of examiners thereunder made, are hereby annulled and withdrawn, provided, however, that the examiners heretofore appointed shall continue in office until their successors are appointed, and that nothing herein contained shall affect any examination heretofore held, or any grading had thereunder, or any eligible list heretofore formed, or any appointment heretofore duly made in pursuance of such regulations hereby annulled ; and every eligible list duly formed under such regulations shall in all * Inquiry having been made by the examiners as to the construction of Regulation 62, it was decided that the provision confining examina- tions to a single day referred only to Schedule B.

Rule XIV. — The date of the reception of all applications shall be indorsed thereon, and entered of record ; and if the applicants for admission to any class are in excess of the number that can be examined at a single examination, they will be notified to appear in the order in which their names are entered ; provided, that persons who have served in the army or navy of the United States in time of war and been honorably discharged therefrom shall have precedence in such notification. Examinations. Rule XV. — i. All examinations shall be absolutely impartial, practical in their character, and with paramount regard to matters which will fairly test the relative capacity and fitness of the persons examined for the service which they seek to enter. THE MASSACHUSETTS CIVIL-SERVICE RULES. 557 2. No question in any examination shall relate to political or religious opinions or affiliations, and no appointment or selec- tion to an office, or for employment within the scope of these rules, shall be in any manner affected or influenced by such opinions or affiliations. 3. The examinations shall be held at such times and places as the commissioners may designate, and proper notice thereof given. So far as practicable, the examination of applicants for appointment in the service of a city shall be held therein. . Rule XVI. — i. The general examinations for admission to the service in the first division shall be limited to the following subjects: ist. Orthography, penmanship, and copying. 2d. Arithmetic — fundamental rules, fractions, and percentage. 3d. Interest, discount, and elements of book-keeping and of accounts. 4th. Elements of the English language, letter-writ- ing, and the proper construction of sentences. 5th. Elements of the geography, history, and government of the United States, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, or the city in which ser- vice is sought. 6th. The special duties of the office. 2. Proficiency in any subject shall be credited in grading the standing of the person examined in proportion to the value of a knowledge of such subject in the branch or part of the service which the applicant seeks to enter. 3. No one shall be entitled to be certified for appointment in class 2 of Schedule A whose standing upon a just grading in the general examination shall be less than sixty-five per centum of complete proficiency in the first three subjects mentioned in this rule ; and that measure of proficiency shall be deemed adequate. . .„ ~, 4. For places in which a lower degree of education will suffice, the commissioners may limit the examinations to any of the subjects above mentioned ; but no person shall be certified for appointment, under this clause, whose grading shall be less than an average of sixty-five per centum on such subjects, or parts thereof, as the examination may embrace. 5 The commissioners may also order exammations upon other subjects of a technical' or special character, to test the capacity which may be needed in any part of the classified service which requires peculiar information or skill. Exami- nations hereunder may be competitive or non-competitive. The application for, and notice of, the special examinations, the records thereof, and the certification of those found competent shall be such as the commissioners may prescribe. _ 6 Ability to answer correctly the printed questions placed before him at the examination will not fully determine the fit- ness of the candidate for the position which he seeks. Char- acter, experience, physical condition, and natural aptitude for the service will be taken into account. 558 THE STATE AND MUNICIPAL SERVICE. Rule XVII. — Those examined shall be marked and graded according to their excellence, as shown by their examination, and shall have their grade entered upon a register. Separate registers may be kept of those seeking to enter any part of the service in which special qualifications are required. Rule XVIII. — Whenever the special qualifications required for a position are such that assistance from experts in conduct- ing an examination is advisable, such experts may be designated to aid the examining board ; and, so far as practicable, such ex- perts shall be persons employed in the department to which the applicant seeks admission. Appointments. Rule XIX. — i. No person shall be appointed permanently to any office or employment in the first division who has not passed an examination as provided by these rules. 2. Whenever any officer or board having the power of ap- pointment to any office or employment under these rules shall so request, the commissioners shall certify to him the names of the three most eligible persons, on the proper register, indicat- ing any of them who have served in the military or naval service of the United States in time of war and been honorably dis- charged therefrom. If necessary, the commissioners may certify additional names thereafter. 3. In case the request for any such certification, or any law or regulation, shall call for persons of one sex, those of that sex shall be certified ; otherwise sex shall be disregarded in certification. 4. In case the office requires such special qualifications that the commissioners certify that they are unable to comply with the requisition, the appointing power may appoint any person named by him who, upon a non-competitive examination, shall be duly certified by the commissioners as qualified to discharge the duties of the position. 5. From the names certified the appointing power shall make a selection to fill the vacant place, subject, however, to the pro- visions of the following clause, giving preference in appointments to certain persons. 6. Persons who have served in the army or navy of the United States in time of war and been honorably discharged therefrom shall be preferred for appointment in the civil service over other persons of equal qualifications as ascertained under these rules; and any person thus preferred shall not be disqualified from holding a position in the civil service on account of physical disability, provided such disability does not render him incom- petent to perform the duties. Rule XX. — Whenever the commissioners are notified that proficiency in any special subject is needed in the position to be THE MASSACHUSETTS CIVIL-SERVICE RULES. 559 filled, they may certify the names of three persons in the eli- gible list having the highest standing (not being below the mini- mum of sixty-five) on such special subject. Rule XXI. — In the selection from the persons whose names are certified by the commissioners, the appointing officer, upon written requisition therefor, will be furnished with the applica- tions, the certificates, and examination-papers of the persons certified, and, in the exercise of his responsible power of selec- tion, he may summon personally before him the certified per- sons for such verbal inquiries as he may deem proper. All papers furnished upon requisition as above must be returned to the commissioners with the notice of selection. Rule XXII. — Every person having the power of appointment to, or employment in, any position in the first division shall forthwith give notice in writing to the commissioners of the name and place of residence of any person appointed or em- ployed in such position, of the rejection of any such person during or after probation, and of the transfer, promotion, resig- nation or removal, discharge or death, of any person serving under him, with the dates thereof. Rule XXIII. — The commissioners may give a certificate to any person examined, stating the grade which such person at- tained as shown by the marking. Rule XXIV. — i. No person on any register shall be certified more than three times for the same office, except by the con- sent of the appointing officer ; provided, however, if the office requires special or expert qualifications, persons may be certi^ fied more than three times, when deemed advisable by the com- missioners. 2. No person shall remain eligible more than one year on any register ; but under such regulations as the commissioners may make he may, without further examination, be placed on the new eligible list. Rule XXV. — i. No examination shall be required upon a reappointment of any person to the same office. 2. Any person appointed to, or employed in, any position in the first division of the classified service, after due certification for the same under these rules, who shall be found or certified to the commissioners by the proper authorities to have been dismissed or separated therefrom without fault or delinquency on his part, may be reappointed or re-employed without further examination in the same part or grade of such service^ at the same office, within one year next following such dismissal or separation. Transfers. Rule XXVI. — Transfer without examination may be made from a position in one department, office, or institution to a 560 THE STATE AND MUNICIPAL SERVICE. similar position in another department, office, or institution, upon the mutual consent of the heads of the respective departments, offices, or institutions ; provided, however, that no person shall be transferred from one class to another class under these rules without a non-competitive examination. But policemen may be transferred from one place to another under sect. 11, chapter 28 of the Public Statutes, without examination or notice to the commissioners. Probation. Rule XXVII. — i. Every original appointment or employ- ment in the permanent service in the first division shall be for the probationary period of six months, at the end of which time, if the conduct and capacity of the person appointed have been found satisfactory to the appointing power, the probationer shall be absolutely appointed or employed ; but otherwise be deemed out of the service. 2. The officer under whom any probationer shall serve shall carefully observe the quality and value of the service rendered by him, and shall report in writing to the appointing power the facts observed by such officer, showing the service, character, and qualifications of such probationer, and such report shall be pre- served on file, subject to inspection by the commissioners. Promotion. Rule XXVIII. — i. In class four. Schedule B (the regular police force of the city of Boston), appointments, except to the lowest grade, shall be made by promotion as herein provided. 2. If, in the judgment of the appointing power, there be none in the lower grades fit to perform the duties in such vacant positions, in that case, and in no other, the positions may be filled by competitive examination under these rules. 3. Promotions shall be made by successive grades ; in case of vacancy in any position it shall be filled by a selection from the next inferior grade, if there be any person in such grade fit for promotion ; and if there be no such person, then the promo- tion shall be made by selection from the next inferior grade, and so on until all the inferior grades are exhausted. 4. No person in said class when these rules take effect shall be promoted without passing an appropriate examination under the rules. Promotion in said class will, in all cases, be based upon the positive merit of the person promoted, and upon his superior qualifications as shown by his previous service. 5. There shall be kept in the police department of the city of Boston proper records of the efficiency and conduct of all per- sons employed therein. In examinations for promotion the greatest weight shall be given to the actual work of the persons T-HE MASSACHUSETTS CIVIL-SERVICE RULES. 561 examined, as exhibited in tlie records, and upon the certificate of their immediate official superiors that their efficiency and conduct during their past service has been in all respects satisfactory. 6. In_ all other classes of the first division, appointments by promotion shall not be subject to these rules; provided, how- ever, that in case the person promoted has never passed an ex- amination under these rules which entitles him to be placed on an eligible list for the position to which he is promoted, he shall pass a non-competitive examination. Temporary Service. Rule XXIX. — i. No persons, except those examined and found eligible under these rules for permanent appointment or employment, shall be appointed or employed for temporary service, except in cases of emergency where the public business would suffer from delay in filling the position as herein pro- vided. In no case shall such temporary appointment or em- ployment continue for more than three months, and no reap- pointment or employment of the same person, or of another to the same position at the end of such period, shall be allowed. And in every such case the officer making the appointment or furnishing the employment shall report the same to the com- missioners within five days, with the reason therefor and the time for which the temporary appointment or employment is necessary. 2. If for any sufficient reason it shall be impracticable to sup- ply the names of persons who have passed a competitive exam- ination in due season for any appointment or employment in any position in the first division, the commissioners may provide for a provisional appointment by non-competitive examination or otherwise. SECOND DIVISION. Laborers. Rule XXX.— i. Applicants for labor in the several depart- ments of the city of Boston included in Schedule C, who pro- duce satisfactory evidence of their capacity for labor and their habits as to industry and sobriety, shall be registered in the order of their application at such convenient times, and place or places, in said city as shall be designated by the commission- ers. The register shall state the (i) name, (2) age, (3) residence, (4) citizenship, (5) number and relationship of persons depend- ing for support upon the applicant, (6) service in the army or $62 THE STATE AND MUNICIPAL SERVICE. navy in time of war, (7) previous occupation, (8) references, (9) personal description, and such otlier information as may be required. 2. When the services of laborers are required in any of said departments, the officer or person having the appointment or selection shall notify the commissioners, stating the number of men wanted, kind of labor for which they are wanted, and the time and place of employment; and said commissioners shall thereupon send to the officer or the person making the requisi- tion the names and residences of twice the number of men called for (if the register contains so many), making an impar- tial selection by lots or otherwise, giving preference, other qualifications being equal, to those who have served in the army or navy of the United States in time of war and have been honorably discharged therefrom, and to those having families depending upon them for support. 3. The selection shall be made from the list so furnished, and the names of those employed shall be returned to the commis- sioners forthwith. At the end of their term of service, the per- sons so employed may keep their places on the register, upon application to the commissioners, and proof that their labor has been satisfactory. 4. In case the commissioners are unable to fill a requisition for laborers, the fact shall be certified to the officer making the requisition, who shall then make the selection. 5. The commission may make such regulations as may be necessary to identify the registered applicants, and to preserve a record of their conduct. 6. In cases of emergency where the temporary services of a large number of unskilled laborers are required in either of said departments, the officer or person having the appointment shall select by lot, or in such other equitable way as the commission- ers may determine, those who present themselves for the im- mediate service. OFFICES NOT INCLUDED IN RULES. Rule XXXI. — Upon the request of any officer or board hav- ing the power of appointment to any office or position in the service of the Commonwealth, or any of the cities thereof, to which these rules do not appl)', the commissioners will furnish names from any list of eligible persons to fill a vacancy in such office or position ; or they will, whenever practicable, hold com- petitive or non-competitive examinations for such office or position.

MASSACHUSETTS CIVIL-SERVICE REGULATIONS 567 GENERAL REGULATIONS ADOPTED BY THE CIVIL- SERVICE COMMISSIONERS. The Chief Examiner.— I. The Chief Examiner shall, so far as practicable, attend the examinations held by the several boards of examiners. He shall take care to secure accuracy, uniformity, and justice in the proceedings of all examiners and boards of examiners under the rules and regulations; and such proceedings and all papers appertaining thereto shall at all times be open to him. He shall also, from time to time, inspect the proceedings and papers connected with examinations under the Civil-Service Rules, and shall make report of such inspections to the Com- missioners. 2. He shall prepare, and submit to the Commissioners, proper schemes for examinations, and forms for blanks and records. He shall take care that the rules and regulations are complied with, and shall bring any case of their infraction, or of injustice or irregularity observed by him, to the attention of the Commis- sioners. It shall be his duty, from time to time, to confer with the heads of departments, officers, and institutions of the Com- monwealth and the several cities thereof concerning the regularity, sufficiency, and convenience of the examinations for the service under them. He shall perform such other appro- priate duties as may be specified in these regulations, or other- wise assigned to him by the Commissioners. The Secretary. — 3. The Secretary shall keep the records of the proceedings of the Commissioners, and have charge of, and be responsible for, the safe-keeping of the books, records, papers, and other property in their office. He shall make such certifica- tion as the Commissioners may direct of those eligible for appointment or employment. He shall generally conduct the correspondence of the Commissioners, and perform such other appropriate duties as they may assign to him. Examiners. — 4. Regular boards of examiners shall consist of not less than three nor more than five members, one of whom shall act as Secretary; and a majority of any board may con- duct an examination in the absence of the other members. The Secretary of each board shall keep a complete record of its pro- ceedings, and of all the examinations held by it, in such form as the Commissioners may prescribe. $68 THE STATE AND MUNICIPAL SERVICE. 5. The Board of Examiners for each city shall promptly notify the Commissioners of the need of holding an examination in and for such city, and thereupon the Chief Examiner shall, under the direction of the Commissioners, issue authority therefor, and shall prepare questions and supervise the other preliminary arrangements. 6. The Boards of Examiners shall conduct the examinations, and estimate and mark the standing of the persons examined, or in a non-competitive examination shall mark the qualifications of the person examined. 7. Whenever the special qualifications required for a position are of an expert or professional character, the Commissioners will give to the Examining Board such advice and assistance from competent sources as may be expedient and available. 8. Special boards will be selected, and special regulations for examinations will be issued by the Commissioners, when expedient. 9. No examiner or person serving under the Commissioners shall attempt to influence the selection of any person for the civil service. 10. The examiners shall preserve order and decorum at examinations, and prevent any interference, by conversation or otherwise, with those under examination. 11. No examiner shall disclose, unless by consent, the names of those examined, nor the results of the examination. 12. Any person after receiving official notification of his standing, as ascertained by a competitive examination, may, in person or by duly authorized agent, inspect in the presence of the Chief Examiner or the Secretary of the Commissioners, or a member of the Examining Board, his examination-papers and the markings thereon. 13. Complaints of any injustice or unfairness on the part of any examiner or examining board, or by any one acting under the Commissioners, may be made in writing to the Commis- sioners, who will act as substantial justice in the premises may require. Examinations. Competitive. — 14. Applicants must present themselves punct- ually at the times and places specified in their official notices to attend, and they will be admitted to examination upon the production of such notices. 15. The examination-papers of each applicant shall be marked only with a number, and his name, with his number, shall be placed in a sealed envelope which shall not be opened till after his papers are marked. MASSACHUSETTS CIVIL-SERVICE REGULATIONS 569 16. The sheets of questions will be numbered and will be given out in the order of their numbers, each after the first being given only when the competitor has returned to the examiners the last sheet given to him. In general, no examination shall extend beyond five hours ; and no questions given out at one session shall be answered at another session. Each applicant must complete his examination on the obligatory subjects be- fore taking up any of the optional subjects. 17. Each examiner will exercise diligence in securing fairness and preventing collusion and fraud in the examinations. 18. The subjects of, and the time allowed for, the examination will be announced before the first paper is given out. In the discretion of the Commissioners, or examiners, opportunity will be given applicants to show their knowledge of subjects of a special or technical character. Marking. — 19. Each examination-paper shall be reviewed by a majority of the examiners conducting the examination ; and, in any case of disagreement, the average of the markings made on any question or paper by all shall be the final marking on such question or paper. 20. The papers in each subject shall, whenever practicable, be examined, compared, and marked before the papers in another subject are examined. 21. The marking of each question or subject shall be made on a scale of 100, which shall represent entire accuracy ; and oshall represent entire ignorance. Handwriting will be judged by its legibility, uniform and correct formation of letters, and ease of execution. Upon a comparison of the handwriting of all, the best and worst should be first determined, and the two extremes of the scale thus fixed ; the others should be marked relatively to them. In writing from dictation or copying from manuscript, the omission, repetition, or substitution of words, the erasures, blots, and other evidences of carelessness, will reduce the mark- ing below 100. Abstracts or summaries of documents and letter- writing will be marked as in handwriting, by determining the best and worst examples, and the examiners, having marked these, will then mark the others proportionately. In each of the otlier subjects each question shall be marked on a scale of 100 ; and the sum of such markings, divided by the number of questions in that subject, shall determine the stand- ing on such subject. Grading.— ^1. The following examples show the method by which the standing of each competitor is obtained. The weights here given to the different subjects are not to be regarded as the standard weights : these, and also the subjects, will be varied to meet the requirements of the position to be filled. 570 THE STATE AND MUNICIPAL SERVICE, EXAMINATION OF.

Non-Competitive Examinations.— iT- In cases where a non- competitive examination may be needed, either to test the capacity of applicants for any part of the service which requires peculiar information or skill, or to fill a position for which there are no suitable candidates on the eligible list, or for promotion, or temporary appointment, or otherwise, the Commissioners will provide for such examination. 572 THE STATE AND MUNICIPAL REGULATIONS. 28. Applicants for non-competitive examinations shall fill out and make oath to the proper application-paper (without certifi- cates) ; but any person named by the appointing power under provisions of clause 4 of Rule XIX, may file such paper at any time before entering upon his official duties. 29. The non-competitive examination shall conform, as nearly as practicable, in subject, questions, and marking, to the com- petitive examination of the same grade. Special Examinations. — 30. Applications for any special ex- amination must be made in the form prescribed by the Com- missioners, and must be accompanied by certificates as required in £ase of ordinary applications. 31. Whenever a special examination is to be held, notice in writing, specifying the time and place of the examination, shall be sent to a suitable number of the applicants, in the order of their application, subject to Rule XIV, in time to permit their attendance. 32. Each special examination shall embrace the subjects approved by the Commissioners, after consultation with the head of the office concerned, or the Special Examining Board for such office ; and shall, so far as appropriate, be conducted under the general regulations, as to the marking of examination- papers and the grading of persons examined. 33. A special record of applicants, and a special register of eligible persons, shall be kept for each part of the service or office requiring special examinations ; and when the Commis- sioners, or the proper Examining Board, shall be notified by the appointing officer of a vacancy in such part of the service, certification shall be made to him of the names of the three persons graded highest on the special list of persons eligible for the same. 34. In case competent special applicants do not apply, or do not appear for a competitive examination after suitable notice, a non-competitive examination may be held in as near con- formity as may be to the regulations provided for non-com- petitive examinations for admission to the service. For such examination, applicants on the general record and persons, on the eligible list, whose application-papers claim the special knowledge required, may be notified and, if they appear, shall be examined, as if special applicants ; but no person so exam- ined shall forfeit his right to the general examinations, or lose his place on any eligible list by reason of his special examination. General Provisions. — 35. In case any applicant makes any false statement for the purpose of securing an examination or preference, or has been guilty of bad faith or fraud, and in case -prima facie evidence shall be presented to the Board of Exam- iners, that any person on a record or register is, by reason of MASSACHUSETTS CIVIL-SERVICE REGULATIONS. 573 criminal or infamous conduct, not a fit person to be examined marked, or certified, it will be the duty of the Board to report upon the matter fully and promptly to the Commissioners; and the marking, grading, or certification of such person shall be suspended pending the action of the Commissioners upon the subject. Upon such report to the Commissioners, or the production of any other evidence, the Commissioners will make the proper investigation and give appropriate direction to the Board of Examiners. 36. In case a person upon any register shall, by reason of ill- health or physical incapacity, in the judgment of the Commis- sioners, become manifestly disqualified for the service for which he or she is registered, the Commissioners may direct that such person be not certified; and the Commissioners must be in- formed by the proper examining boards of each case of such disqualification. 37. The applicant affected by such suspension, or refusal of an examination, may make complaint in writing to the Com- missioners, who will take proper action thereon. 38. Persons whose names have remained on an eligible list one year may, upon written application to the Board of Exam- iners, and satisfactory evidence in regard to health and other qualifications, be placed upon a new eligible list without further examination ; or, if they desire to improve their standing, they may, at the end of the year, present a new application and be examined in order. 39. The Commissioners cannot advise persons as to vacancies in the service, nor furnish any information as to the duties, salaries, course of promotion, or other conditions of positions and olTices, except such as may be found in printed regulations. No advice can be given as to the course of preparation that applicants should follow, nor can specimens of the examination- papers be furnished. 40. Every application-paper and accompanying certificates will remain on file in the office of the Commissioners or Boards of Examiners, and under no circumstances or conditions will the originals be returned to the applicant. Note. — At this date, the States of New York and Massachusetts and their cities are the only States and cities which have actually en- forced the reformed methods of selection and appointment in the civil service. The preliminary steps for the extension of the system have, however, been taken in South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Indiana, and in one or more of these States, bills with this object have been introduced in the legislature. It is intended that each subsequent edition of this "Guide" shall contain the latest informa- tion in regard to these movements, which will, beyond controversy, in due time revolutionize local administration throughout this country. GUIDE TO THE CIVIL SERVICE. APPENDIX. MISCELLANEO US. REGULATIONS FOR ADMISSION TO THE REVENUE-MARINE SERVICE. This service is attached to the Treasury Department, and is maintained for the protection of the revenue. " The officers for each revenue vessel shall be one captain and one first, one second, and one third lieuten- ant; and for each steam-vessel, in addition, one engineer and one assistant engineer. But the Secretary of the Treasury may assign to any vessel a greater number of officers whenever in his opinion the nature of the ser- vice which she is directed to perform requires it. And vessels of both descriptions shall have such number of petty officers and men as in the opinion of the Secretary are required to make them efficient for their service." (Section 2749, Rev. Stat.) " Hereafter, upon the occurring of a vacancy in the grade of third lieutenant in the revenue-marine service, the Secretary of the Treasury may appoint a cadet not less than eighteen nor more than twenty-five years of age, with rank next below that of third lieutenant, whose pay shall be three fourths of that of a third lieutenant, and 'who shall not be promoted until he shall have served a satisfactory probationary term of two years, and passed the examination required by the regulations of said service; and upon the promotion of said cadet another may be appointed in his stead. But the whole number of cadets and third lieutenants shall at no time exceed the number of third lieutenants now authorized by law." 578 APPENDIX. ADMISSION OF CANDIDATES TO THE GRADE OF CADET. Treasury Department, Washington, D. C, November 2g, 1880. By direction of the President, the following regula- tions governing the admission of candidates to the grade of cadet in the revenue-marine service are hereby pub- lished for the information of all concerned: 1. No person will be appointed in the revenue-marine service who does not furnish satisfactory evidence that he is of good moral character and of sober and correct habits. 2. Candidates must be not less than eighteen nor more than twenty-five years of age, and no person will be appointed whose age is not within these limits. 3. Candidates will be required to pass a satisfactory examination as to their physical qualifications by aboard of medical officers to be designated by the Secretary of the Treasury. They must be of vigorous constitution, physically sound and well formed, and not less than five feet in stature. 4. The candidates must pass a satisfactory examina- tion in reading, writing, spelling, arithmetic, algebra, geography, history, and grammar, before a board of officers to be designated by the Secretary of the Treas- ury. The examinations will be in writing. 5. A standard of proficiency will be fixed, and if can- didates fall below such standard they will be rejected; they may, however, receive a second examination at the next annual convening of the Board of Examiners. A failure on the second examination will result in the final rejection of the candidate. While applicants, as a rule, will be accorded not more than two examinations, exception may be made granting a third examination in particularly meritorious cases, where candidates have passed successively two examinations. 6. Candidates who pass the required standard in both the physical and mental examinations will be eligible for appointment, and will be placed upon a list in the order of the proficiency exhibited by them in their examinations, respectively; and from this list name? THE REVENUE-MARINE SERVICE. 579 •will be taken in regular order for appointment to fill existing vacancies, and such as may occur before the class for the year is made up. It is to be observed, however, that the passing of the required standard does not guarantee a candidate's appointment, as the list is not likely to be exhausted in making up the class. 7. Upon receiving his appointment, the cadet will be required to take the prescribed oath of office. 8. Cadets will be required to provide themselves with the proper uniform, and to wear the same on board the vessel to which they may be assigned, and upon all occasions of duty. 9. Cadets will be appointed for a probationary period of two years, during which they will be required to pur- sue the prescribed course of study, and perform such duties on board ship or elsewhere in the service as may be demanded of them. At the end of two years they will, if their probationary service has been satisfactory, be examined for promotion to the grade of third lieu- tenant in the revenue marine. 10. The specific requirements of the examinations herein prescribed will be determined and published by. the Secretary of the Treasury. John Sherman, Secretary. PHYSICAL EXAMINATION OF CANDIDATES. Treasury Department, Washington, D. C, December 7, 1880. In the physical examination required by paragraph 3 of the regulations governing the admission of candidates to the grade of cadet in the revenue-marine service (Revenue-Marine Circular No. 23), any one of the follow- ing defects will be sufficient cause for rejection, viz.: 1. Decided cachexia, strumous diathesis, or apparent predisposition to any constitutional disease. 2. Permanent defects of either extremities or articula- tions, causing inefficiency. 1 Unnatural excurvature or incurvature of the spine. 4. Impaired vision, color-blindness, myopia, chronic disease of the visual organs. 58o APPENDIX. 5. Epilepsy, insanity, apparent tendency to convulsions. 6. Chronic disease of the ears, deafness, chronic nasal, catarrh, polypi, chronic tonsilar enlargement. 7. Chronic ulcers, or cicatrices of old ulcers likely to break out afresh. 8.

Medical officers in the marine-hospital service will be appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury, upon the recommendation of the supervising Surgeon-General. 24. Original appointments of medical officers in the MARINE-HOSPITAL SERVICE. 583 United States marine-hospital service will be made to the grade of assistant surgeon only. 25. Medical officers in the marine-hospital service will in no case be appointed to any particular station, but to the general service, being subject to change of station as the exigencies of the service may require, and shall serve in any part of the United States wherever assigned to duty by the Secretary of the Treasury. 26. No person will be appointed an assistant surgeon whose age is less than twenty-one or more than thirty years, and, as a preliminary to a recommendation for appointment, the applicant must have graduated in medicine at some respectable medical college, and must pass a satisfactory physical and professional examina- tion before a board of surgeons of the marine-hospital service, which will be convened from time to time for that purpose by the Secretary of the Treasury. 27. The passing of an examination must not be con- sidered as giving assurance of appointment, as the Department will select those of the highest attainments in case there should be more candidates than vacancies. 28. No qualified candidate will be eligible for appoint- ment more than one year. If not appointed within that time, he may, if he desire, be re-examined, when, if successful, he will take position with the class last examined. 29. An applicant failing at one examination may be allowed a second examination, after one year, but not a third. 30. Assistant surgeons after three years' service, at least one year of which shall have been at a United States marine hospital, shall be entitled to an examina- tion for promotion to the grade of passed assistant sur- geon. The application for this examination must be accompanied with testimonials of correct deportment and habits of industry from the surgeons with whom they have served, and the applicant must be familiar with these regulations. 31. A vacancy in the grade of surgeon will be filled by promotion from among the passed assistant surgeons. 32. Passed assistant surgeons shall be eligible for pro- motion to the grade of surgeon in the order of seniority. 584 APPENDIX. but they will not be promoted until they shall have passed a satisfactory examination in the several profes- sional branches, before a board of surgeons. 33. Boards of examiners, in deciding the relative merit and fitness of passed assistant or assistant sur- geons examined for promotion at any time, will be governed by seniority, unless there are specific reasons to the contrary. 51. Acting assistant surgeons of the marine-hospital service will be appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury, upon the recommendation of the Surgeon-General, at relief stations of the second class where their services may be deemed necessary and the extent of the service is not sufficiently great to warrant the assignment of a regular medical ofiScer. Candidates for appointment as acting assistant surgeons shall be competent physicians and surgeons of good moral and professional standing. ******* 76. The medical purveyor of the marine-hospital ser- vice shall be a skilled pharmacist, and will be appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury on the recommendation of the Surgeon-General. His compensation shall be the same as that of a surgeon of the service. ******* 82. Hospital stewards will be appointed by the Secre- tary of the Treasury upon the recommendation of a surgeon, approved by the Surgeon-General; but no such recommendation will be made unless the person recom- mended is known to be temperate, honest, and in every way trustworthy and, upon examination, sufficiently intelligent and skilled in pharmacy and book-keeping to perform the duties of apothecary as well as steward, wherever necessary. They will be appointed to the general service and will be subject to change of station. ******* 123. At all marine hospitals attendants will be author- ized as the necessities of the service at particular stations require, and will be employed by the surgeon in charge of the station, subject to the approval of the Department.

Engineers, firemen, nurses, cooks, laundresses, house-cleaners, watchmen, drivers, gardeners, and other subordinate employes and laborers in U. S. marine hospitals shall be known and styled as "hospital atten- dants," and will be borne on the roll as such. They shall be required to perform whatever duties may be assigned to them by the medical officer in charge of the hospital for the time being. CLASSIFICATION OF CUSTOMS SER- VICE. {Extract from a letter addressed by the Secretary of the Treasury to the Civil- Service Commissioners, dated March 26, 1883.) The following classification is determined, the same being at present applicable only in the several customs districts where those directed by said act to be classified shall be as many as fifty: Class A. All persons, not employed merely as laborers or workmen, receiving a compensation amounting to $900, or more, but less than $1200 per annum. Class I. All persons receiving a compensation amount- ing to $1200, or more, but less than $1400 per annum. Class 2. All persons receiving a compensation amount- ing to $1400, or more, but less than f 1600 per annum. Class 3. All persons receiving a compensation amount- ing to $i6oo, or more, but less than $1800 per annum. Class 4. All persons receiving a compensation amount- ing to $1800, or more, but not including any officers con- firmed by the Senate. This classification now extends to the following officers, viz. : collectors of customs, naval officers, survey- ors and appraisers at the ports of Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans, and San Fran- cisco; collector of customs and appraiser at Chicago, 586 APPENDIX. and collectors of customs at Portland, Me., Burlington, Detroit, and Port Huron. The term " compensation," instead of "annual salary," is used for the reason that in many cases the employ6s are paid a per-diem compensation. The term " annual salary" would not seem to include the inspectors of customs at the various ports, as these officers are paid by the day. To avoid confusion, class A is adopted to include all receiving $900 and less than $1200. PENSION OFFICE.

The examination of applicants for appointment as medical reviewers will include the first four branches mentioned under head of examiners, with an examina- tion in medicine and surgery, including medical juris- prudence and hygiene. Applications for examination for the above positions must be made upon the regular application-blank. The proper blanks, together with the rules, will be furnished upon request made to the U. S. Civil-Service Com- mission, Washington, D. C. Upon receipt of an application in proper form the ap- plicant will be notified ol the first examination to be held thereafter of the class to which admission is desired. The examination will be competitive, except when other- wise ordered by the Civil-Service Commission. Special Examiners whose duty it is to investigate cases in the field are detailed by the Commissioner of Pen- sions from examiners of experience in the office. O. P. G. Clarke, Chairman Board Special Examiners, Pension Office. PATENT OFFICE. INFORMATION RESPECTING THE SPECIAL EXAMINATIONS OF CANDIDATES FOR AP- POINTMENT IN THE PATENT OFFICE. The service in the Patent Office for which special ex- aminations may be held includes the following : I. Assistant examiners. 588 APPENDIX. 2. Assistants in the Scientific Library. 3. Proof-readers. 4. Mechanical draughtsmen. 5. Copyists of drawings. Assistant Examiners. There are four grades of assistant examiners; namely, first, second, third, and fourth. Admission will ordi- narily be to the lowest grade, which is that of fourth assistant. The examination for appointment as assistant exami- ner will include — 1. Mathematics : Arithmetic, algebra (to and including equations of the second degree), the elements of plane and volumetric geometry, and of plane trigonometry. 2. Physics : Natural philosophy and its problems. 3. Chemistry: General principles of chemistry, chem- ical physics. 4. Technics : The principles of mechanical technology and of chemical technology; the arts, industries, and manufactures; mechanism, machinery; engineering and architectural constructions. In addition, the ability of the candidate readily to read mechanical drawings, to describe them, and to give an appropriate description of the invention illustrated, will be tested. The subjects above given will be regarded as essentia/, and without a thorough knowledge thereof no candidate can pass. Examinations will also be made in German and French as (?///i?«o, and rise, by triennial incre- ments, to ;^2oo. (In any office in which a regular attendance of seven hours a day is required, the com- mencing salary may be ;^95, and the maximum ;^25o.) Beyond this, there should be a few places in each office, with duty pay not exceeding ;^ioo a year, which may be given to clerks in this Lower Division if they have special aptitude, thus conferring on them a rank like that of non-commissioned officers. These increments and this duty pay should be given in the same manner and on the same conditions as the service scale increments and duty pay in the Higher Division, as detailed below. "We have taken a good deal of evidence respecting boy-clerks, from which it appears that their employ- ment, under proper supervision, is both desirable and economical. In every office there is some work which CIVIL-SERVICE REFORM IN GREAT BRITAIN. 593 can be done by boys as efficiently as by men. The ex- perience of the Civil-Service Commissioners, as described in the evidence, is that a very ordinary boy, early in his career, will do more than half a man's work, while he can be got for less than half a man's wages, and that the best boys will do more than an average man's work. The aptitude, moreover, which he gains while a boy- clerk renders him at once valuable to an office when he succeeds in obtaining the position of a man-clerk. We therefore propose that the Lower Division should embrace a class of boys, a limited number of whom should be promoted to be clerks after approved good service; those not so promoted being discharged on at- taining their nineteenth year of age. "The whole of our proposals on this part of the sub- ject are based on the assumption that the Lower Divi- sion is recruited strictly as we suggest. Any attempt to recruit this division from such men as form the main body of civil-service writers would result in the collapse of the whole scheme. But we cannot state too strongly our conviction that, to a large extent, the efficiency of the public service will depend upon this Lower Division being recruited from the men whom the proposed terms of service will attract in the open market. Not only is the efficiency of this division, in itself, a matter of the gravest importance, but it also affects most seriously the constitution and numbers of the Higher Division. Un- less the Lower Division is able to take a large propor- tion of the work now done by established clerks, our scheme would be unjustifiably extravagant. " The rate of remuneration to be paid in the Higher Division should be such as would attract men of a liberal education who would otherwise go into the open professions. The possible prizes would, of course, be much smaller than those attainable outside the service; but the credit of serving the government, the character of permanency, prospect of pension, and otlier advan- tages which obtain in the civil service of the Crown, would by many be regarded as a sufficient inducement. "The rate of salary which we recommend for this division is ;^ioo, rising by triennial increments to a 594 APPENDIX. maximum of ^^400,* so arranged that a clerk whose increments are awarded without stoppage or deduction shall reach his maximum in (say) twenty-four years from his first entry into the service. Besides this, the clerks in this division should, if qualified, have the prospect of the duty pay mentioned below, and of appointment to staff offices. " These clerks should be required to go through, care- fully, and to master all the details of the more simple and routine work which the Lower Division are employed upon. This should be done during their period of pro- bation. If, at the end of that period, they have not succeeded in doing this, and in satisfying the head of their department that they are likely to become useful members of the Higher Division, their appointments should not be confirmed." The " Order in Council " by which the above recom- mendations were carried into effect was issued in Feb- ruary, 1876. It was ordered by Her Majesty that the clerks actually in service at that time should be undis- turbed by the change, but that all vacancies should be filled by appointments to the Lower Division until the heads of departments should report the number of clerks serving with higher salaries than those of the Lower Division to be not in excess of the number sufficient to perform superior duties. The ages of competitors for men-clerkships were fixed at from 17 to 20 years; for boy-clerkships, 15 to 17 years. Boys were not to be retained in the service after completing their nineteenth year of age, unless promoted to men-clerkships. The salaries of boys to commence at 14 shillings per week, and rise by is. per week so long as they are employed. Promotions from the Lower Division to the Higher Division might be made on a special certificate of the Civil-Service Commissioners, after not less than ten years' service, upon a recommendation from the head of the department. Arrangements were also made for the appointment of * Of course such salaries would be inadequate to meet the higher cost of living in the United States. — J. M. C. CIVIL-SERVICE REFORM IN GREAT BRITAIN. 595 a class of men and boy copyists, to be paid by piece- work. As one evidence of the care which is exercised in Great Britain to protect the service from opprobrium, the following clauses from a " Treasury Minute" of Nov. 30, 1868, are here reprinted: " I. That it is to be understood that serious pecuniary embarrassment, from whatever cause, must be regarded as a circumstance which necessarily has the effect of impairing the efficiency of a public servant, and of ren- dering him less valuable than he would otherwise be. " 2. That such embarrassment, if occasioned by im- prudence or other reprehensible cause, will be held to> be an offence, as affecting the respectability of the service: and the trustworthiness of the individual; any person who has so conducted himself will be considered to have forfefted that honorable position in the service which is- necessary to give him a claim to promotion or increase of salary from length of service; and these benefits will not be permitted to accrue to him again until he shall have relieved himself from the discredit of such a posi- tion. Aggravated cases of this description will be noticed whenever they become known; and such meas- ures will be taken either in the manner above adverted to, or in a manner more summary and severe, as the circumstance may appear to deserve." THE BRITISH CIVIL SERVICE. {From the " Civil-Service Record.") The twenty-eighth report of " Her Majesty's (British) Civil-Service Commissioners" for 1884 has recently been published. There are no startling changes or modifica- tions. The report shows rather a well-settled and estab- lished system in which full satisfaction is manifested. This satisfaction is best illustrated by the fact that an examination of some four hundred candidates for pro- motion into the grade of examining officer in the customs was held "at the special request" of the Board of Customs. As examination for this promotion was not obligatory by law or rule, it shows the growing confi- 596 APPENDIX. dence in examinations as a mettiod of selection, and a confidence, too, among persons who have full opportunity to see the workings of the system in other parts of their own department. In the High Court of Justice (Ireland), the patronage of the existing judges was in 1877 reserved by the act then passed. During thelast part of 1883, for the first time, this patronage was done away with; and the junor clerkships in that court were offered to the public under the fair and democratic principle of open competition. During the past few years the number of competitors for vacancies subject to open competition has been larger than before. Thus in 1882 and 1883 there were, on an average, 8.1 competitors for each vacancy) while from 1876 to 1879 the average was from 3 to 5. This increased number of competitors has of course insured better choice. The number of persons who fail in preliminary exami- nations in handwriting, spelling, and arithmetic is still large. For example, of 4680 applicants for boy-clerk- ships, 2538 failed in these respects. If so large a propor- tion fail in such essentials, when they know beforehand that they are to be examined, it suggests how many must be unfit in these important subjects, where the system of favoritism exists without any examination at all. The system of probation which forms so important a branch of civil-service reform, in connection with open competition, still proves, as it always has, how well, on the whole, the system of examination tests fitness for official duties; for, out of 2467 clerks selected by com- petition, only 98 failed to be accepted after a year's trial. Of these 98 who were not accepted, 39 were accepted in some other department; while 40 were left out on account of unsatisfactory health which had not at first been discovered or whose bad health had come on since examination, 3 did not take up their appointments, 6 were of unsatisfactory age, and only 3 were of unsatis- factory character. The question of physical tests, for such duties as those of policemen, firemen, and the like, is one of much interest at present. The only new information on this CIVIL-SERVICE REFORM IN GREAT BRITAIN. 597 point in the 1884 report is that ability to ride has recently been made a condition of appointment to the civil ser- vice of India; and the Commissioners have, with the consent of the Secretary of War, made arrangements in accordance with which selected candidates are tested in riding by the superintendent of theRoyal Artillery Rid- ing Establishment at Woolwich, who acts as examiner on behalf of the board. In view of the contemplated taking of the Adirondack forests by the State of New York, of the National Park, and still more of the growing importance of the Bureau of Agriculture at Washington with its great interests affecting our farms and forests, it is worth while to note that in December, 1883, an examination for admission to the Forest Department in India was held. For this examination selected candidates have been trained at the French Forest School at Nancy. In future they are to be sent to the Royal Indian Engineering College at Cooper's Hill, and are to obtain instruction in prac- tical forestry by means of annual visits to continental forests. It is no uncommon belief that any one can be a farmer or a forester, but there is no greater mistake. It requires a great deal of study and experience; and when we come to the questions of the study of the habits of injurious insects, with a view to the destruction of these pests to agriculture, and to questions of fertilizers, seeds, adaptation of trees, vegetables, and cereals to soils on a large scale, there cannot be too much knowledge of farming, chemistry, and entomology connected with practical experience, while visits of selected candidates to examine the works and progress of other countries followed by competitive examinations on those subjects would doubtless procure a corps of efficient workers in our agricultural department that would be of almost inestimable value to the resources of our country.
