way nome. one of the fascinating phases of going
nome, for a number of industrious summer scholars, is
finding how long a way around they can take to get
there. But then there are other ways of getting a
vacation, too, because even those who live in close
proximity to the University aro finding that their
imaginations are being stimulated these days by
inouglits of lake winds, pine forests, or sun-warmed
beaches. Far horizons and strange lands arc not out of reach of any
summer siuuenis ai least when tncy are visited In pleasant day

Through the experimental work
done in the first twenty years
since the passing of the Pendleton
act which brought about civil serv
ice reform, the merit system be
came a permanent factor in gov
ernment administration. Present
tendencies, however, indicate that
its permonence alone does not in
sure a nonpartisan service, says
Dr. Adelbert B. Sageser in his
thesi3 reporting on civil service re
form. Dr. Sageser's paper which was
chosen for publication from among
the theses submitted last year was
in partial fulfillment of require
ments for his Ph. D. degree grant
ed him by the University of Ne
braska. His graduate work was
done under the guidance of Dr.
James L. Sellers of the history
faculty.

tern," he writes. "In the United
States the true cause for the intro
duction of the spoils system was
the triumph of democracy. Party
organization became the only
means through which me people
as a whole could exert any tan
gible influence on the conduct of
the government. Democratic ideals
in the 1820's and 1830's forced the
leaders of the party to be chosen
from among those who "earned a
living-." If members gave tune and
labor to politics, they required pay
for their services -hence the intro
duction of the spoils system.
Dr. Sageser comments that pa
tronage became a powerful tool
and that even honest Abe Lincoln
became an adept at using it. The
first twenty years allowed ample
opportunity to test the strength
and weaknesses of the merit sys
tem. Out of 271,169 places in the
executive civil service, approxi
mately 135,454 had been brought
under the system by June 30, 1903.
Dr. Sageser continues:
Competitive Tests.
"The attempt to improve the
federal service through the use of
competitive tests was not alto
gether successful. By transferring
the selection of candidates lor tne
classified service to the civil serv
ice commission the president and
the cabinet were given more time
for administrative and executive
problems. This is one of the im
portant gains. The nature of party
organization, however, still places
a premium on the patronage and
this condition will exist until some
substitute is found.
Altogether there was a notice
able improvement in the personnel
of the federal service. The system
attracted a different class of peo
ple described by one historian as
"steady going and unimaginative.
Dr. Sageser points out that the
standards for entrance were not
high and that salaries were rela
tively low. At the close of 1903,
he says, there was not a real de
mand for the expert and the gov
ernment was not offering induce
ments to hold college trained men
or persons of exceptional ability.
"By 1903 there were several
ways of evading the Pendleton act,
one of the most frequent being an
abuse of the privilege to appoint
temporary clerks," he says. "It
was possible to shift a temporary
employee from place to place and
thus keep him in the service for a
long period.."
Another device used in avoiding
the law was the building of an
examination around a particular
individual as the department in
which the vacancy occurred set up
standards for the tests. Another
growing factor which weakened
the merit system was veteran pref
erence.' The writer concludes that in
spite of these shortcomings during
the system's development the pub
lic would not have permitted its
destruction. Dr. Sageser gives
much credit to the civil service re
form league for its work in ad
vancing the reform movement.
