Synopsis
This book investigates the current state of the Civil Service and suggests improvements to its operation. Civil Service, as described by the author, is a broad system with many irregularities. The author proposes that appointments, promotions, and other decisions be separated from politics and instead be managed by a non-partisan commission. This commission would facilitate a two-step hiring process involving selection for trial and probation, ensuring that only the most qualified candidates are hired. The author also suggests improvements to the promotion process: promotions would be based on seniority or merit, there would be no set time period for service in each class, and employees in lower grades could be promoted to higher grades in other departments. These suggested reforms align with similar reforms made in Great Britain, which have been well-received. The author also explores departmental examinations as a means of assessing employee knowledge and determining fitness for promotion, and concludes that such examinations are a valuable tool in evaluating employee qualifications.
