Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civil-Service Reform and Democracy When I was honored with the request to deliver this annual address, I accepted the charge with very serious misgivings. For I remembered that many successive years, on occasions like this, you have been wont to listen to a voice the exquisite charm of which still lingers in our ears and will never cease to echo in our hearts. No man can succeed George William Curtis here without being oppressed by the consciousness of inability to fill his place. It would be a vain attempt to rival his annual addresses in their abundance of 1 knowledge and illustration, their ripeness of thought, 1 their strength of reasoning, their delicacy of humor and their literary grace. They were so complete an arsenal of facts and arguments that it is almost impossible to speak on the same subject without repeating him, and the repetition will always fall short of the original. And no one succeeding him at the head of this National League can hope to be so naturally, so spontaneously accepted as the ideal leader of an organized endeavor for purity, justice and honor in politics. It may be said without in the least straining the sense of words that George William Curtis and the cause of Civil Service Reform were made for one another. All that the Reform aspires to was illustrated and exemplified in his personality. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Reform for the Civil Service The reform of the Civil Service, by which I mean those reforms which will place it in a permanent state of efficiency, is a question which must necessarily become more and more urgent. On the one hand our administrative obligations have increased at an unprecedented rate - witness, amongst others, the Ministries of Education, Health and Pensions-ou the other, our financial resources have diminished. If I employ one gardener at a salary of £3 per week, and receive from him work to the value of £22 105. Per week, my weekly loss is 103. But if I employ three gardeners on the same terms, my loss rises to £1 10s. If we admit, then, as we must do, that the Civil Service is not efficient, we must also admit that the wastage has become vastly more serious with the increase in the number of our Departments.

A kingly spirit and a vision clear, A prophet's prescience and a statesman's mind, A face to win us and a smile to cheer, A heart that glowed with love of humankind! His voice was music and his words were song, His ways were gentle but his reason just, Quick to discern the right and scourge the wrong, And him we followed with unfaltering trust. He wrote his Mene, mene, on the wall, Then passed, and 10! Before our eager eyes The Spoilsman's palace crumbles to its fall And on the ruins goodlier mansions rise. Too soon his voice grew silent, yet its thrill Along the cliffs of memory echoes still! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Civil Service Law: A Defense of Its Principles, With Corroborative, Evidence From the Works of Many Eminent American Statesmen The improvements in the revised edition of this work consist in an Appendix, a new Index, the addition of fresh matter to about thirty, pages of the Introduction and various chapters, and the correction of a few errors. The Appendix possesses much historical value, for it contains pertinent quotations from the works of many contemporary and recent statesmen not quoted in the body of the book. The warning of Storey and Washington (pages 225, 226) concern ing the dangers of party Spirit, should be read and heeded by every American. Parties, when they strive solely for principle, are the life of a nation; but when they strive solely for pelf, patronage, and power, they are its death. Even corrupt party leaders may destroy a republic; sometimes even ambitious leaders may do so. Did a nation ever make a narrower escape than did our own during the slaveholders' rebellion? Who but ambitious party leaders caused that rebellion? Some truthful words concerning the crime of buying and selling votes have been added to page 52. This evil cannot be too soon remedied. Voters should be educated up to a higher standard. The American who acknowledges any man as his political boss, at the polls or elsewhere, disgraces the name American. Independent voting and an educational test for voters are what is wanted. The man who can not both read and write the English language, should not be allowed to vote. This would supersede the necessity for the so-called Force Bill, for the rule would apply to blacks as well as whites. A few words concerning the crime of business men neglecting to vote would be an important supplement to page 52. The subject of civil service reform is still one of the greatest issues of the' day. The Christian Register (boston) truly says: We are yet on the threshold of this the most important reformation in American political history. Other newspapers have testified to the same effect, extracts from a few of which appear on page 240. There is much work yet to be done. But the outlook is hopeful. If civil service reformers are as vigilant in the future as they have been in the past, ultimate victory is assured. A people who have the intelligence to discover their mistakes and the courage to correct them, are capable of self-government; otherwise they are not.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Triumph of Reform: A History of the Great Political Revolution, November Sixth, Eighteen Hundred and Ninety-Four The history of the competitive system of selection for government offices is full of encouragement for the friends of non-partisanship in municipal govern ment. In fact, civil service reform had, probably, a harder fight for recognition than any other new administrative method is ever likely to have in America, for it had to make the first break in the traditions under which two generations had grown up, and to get acceptance from a public which had never considered at all the possibility of any improvements in governmental machinery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Citizen and the Republic: A d104-Book in Government His volume is intended as a text - book for use in courses in Civil Government in secondary schools. It should (6 follow, or accompany, a high school course in American History. It is an attempt to answer the demand for that if Which is needful and important in the new civics some times called community civics, and at the same time to hold fast to that Which is good in the old. S, In introducing an educational reform there is always Q danger of over - emphasis; there is danger that we may not ?%have a good thing Without having too much of it. The '9 authors of this volume, While emphasizing community civics and the moral purposes in teaching government, have sought to avoid a one - sided course. They believe that the schools should study the community and such new civics as the changing times call for, and especially that they should give attention to current history and present day problems of democracy; but it is equally important not 3 to neglect certain aspects of the old established order. It may be well to set pupils to the laboratory method of studying the g actual life of our city communities, how milk and water are g supplied, how food is distributed, how public health is pre ss served, how the streets are kept clean (or dirty), how the taxes are raised and used, and how the schools are sustained. But to limit a high school coursein civics to such a field of study is to commit a great wrong to young people Who are under training for citizenship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Necessity and Progress of Civil Service Reform: An Address Delivered at the Annual Meeting of the National Civil-Service Reform League, December 12, 1894 Imagine, then, a bank the stockholders of which, many in number, are divided into two factions - let us call them the Jones party and the Smith party - who quarrel about some question of business policy, as, for instance, whether the bank is to issue currency or not. The Jones party is in control, but the Smith men persuade over to their side a suflicient number of Jones men to give them - the Smith men - a majority at the next stockholders' meeting. Thus they succeed in getting the upper hand. They oust the old board of directors, and elect a new board consisting of Smith men. The new Smith board at once remove all the emeers, president, cashier, tellers, bookkeepers, and clerks down to the messenger boys the good and the bad alike - simply because they are Jones men, and fill their places forthwith with new per sons who are selected, not on the ground that they have in any way proved their fitness for the positions so filled, but simply because they are Smith men; and those of the Smith men who have shown the greatest zeal and skill in getting a majority of votes for the Smith party are held to have the strongest claims for salaried places in the bank. The new men struggle painfully with the duties novel to them until they acquire some experience, but even then it needs in many instances two men or more to do the work of one. In the course of events dissatisfaction spreads among the stockholders with the Smith management, partly shared by ambitious Smith men who thought themselves entitled to reward in the shape of places and salaries, but were left out in the cold. Now the time fora new stockholders' meeting arrives. After a hot fight the Jones party carries the day. Its ticket of directors being elected, 05 go the heads of the Smith president, the Smith cashier, the Smith tellers. The Smith book keepers and clerks, to be replaced by true-blue Jones men who have done the work of the campaign and are expected to do more of it when the next election comes. And so the career of the bank goes on withits periodical changes of party in power at longer or shorter intervals, and its corresponding clean sweeps of the bank service, with mismanagement and occa sional fraud and peculation as inevitable incidents.
