LOOKS ON. PRACTICAL SIDE
Civil Service ronnliflm Eliminates
i
Ac ad r rate Teata In Employing;
Linotype Marnialats.
There la more than a mere announcement
between the lines of the latest circular of
the Civil Service Commission, which gives
notice of an examination July 14 for lino
type machinists to enter the bureau of
printlnr at Manila. The salary attached
to such a position Is tl.800 a year, and the
applicant must be between the ares of 18
and 40 years, but that Is a small part of
the story.
The notice states that the physical condi
tion of the applicant will be counted as 20
per cent of the credit marks, age 20 per
cent and experience 60 per cent. The schol
astic or academic examination, which has
always been a major factor In civil service
examinations, Is eliminated entirely for the
first time and right there Is where the
point cornea In.
"Heretofore the Civil Service Commission
has required applicants for government
positions of all kinds to pass academic ex
amlnatlons, which constituted the greatest
factor in the markings," said J. B. Haynes,
secretary to Senator Millard.
"Whothnr the applicant sought a position
as government blacksmith or postal clerk
made little difference, he was put to an
aoademlo test and upon his knowledge of
mathematics was calculated his capabilities
at the forge. Consequently great numbers
of persona well qualified for certain posi
tions hare been fenced out of the service,
while others less eligible and Incompetent,
perhaps, have worked their way In.
"It simply made the civil service the big
farce which It la today and I for one have
been contending for a number of years that
the modus operandi of the commission was
a fallible one.
"This notice shows that the commission
has at last come to Its senses. That It
recognizes the fact that a blacksmith can't
fix a clock and that a clock-maker la the
man to call on. It Is a wide departure
from the old orthodox method and will un
doubtedly work for the betterment of the
ervlae,
"I expect to see this plan adopted In every
branch of the service. It will bring .about
a weeding out of unqualified persons and
make for a service that Is what It should

BADLY INJURED BY TRAIN
Vniou Paelfle Electrician Hurled
from Bridge by Engine, Which
Strikes Him.
, Am- X. Wold of 8116 Mlama street met with
a. Very painful and probably serious ac
cident at the Union Pacific bridge this
morning. Mr, Wold Is an electrician In the
employ of the engineering department of
the Union Pad no and was busy on the
bridge at the west end repairing some of
the wiring, Train No. 4, crossing the
bridge, struck him and knocked him to the
ground, a distance of twenty feet, lie rolled
about 100 feet down a steep embankment
after striking the ground and was picked
up where he had lodged against the high
fence about the Willow Bprlngs distillery.
It was found that he had suffered severe
contusions about the head and there Is a
' probability that his skull is fractured. His
right shoulder also was dislocated by the
fall. He was given medical attention at
the Union depot, to which he was removed
as soon after the accident as possible, and
was then taken to St. Joseph's hospital In
the Union Paclflo ambulance.
Wold la 27 years of age and married. It
la thought probable he will recover, but
the attending physician would not state
Just What the prospects are. The train
Which struck Wold was in charge of En
gineer Bay and Conductor Powers.
Upon later examination at thp hospital
It was found that Wold hnd sustained a
crushed shoulder and that his skull was
fractured. It is Impossible for the attend
ing physician to tell at this time what the
result of the Injuries will be.
