Excerpt from Civil Service Administration Definition. Civil service administration has in the past been that branch of the public service which has jurisdiction over the selection of civilian employes required to carry on the public business. In most cases these employes have been selected by means of competetive tests. With the recent introduction of service records, the recent development of promotion examinations and the prosecution of efficiency studies, the sphere of the civil service administration has been gradually enlarged, and when the present day interest in salary classification, in service instruction and in centralized disciplinary control has been crystalized into legislation, civil service administration will include most of the activities which in private life are comprehended within the field of employment management. Free Appointment. (1) In the history of public administration, the era of the free uncontrolled appointment of subordinates preceded the era of civil service administration. When the public officer was free to appoint his own subordinates, he carried full responsibility for the acts and the character of the employes selected by him (2).

Excerpt from Culturgeschichtliche Novellen It is as in some sort an introduction to such a study of German as I have endeavoured to indicate, so far as this is possible under the limitations of a commentary on a given text, that the present volume has been prepared. The notes are numerous and copious, but I trust they will commend themselves as not of the kind that paralyse the student's own mental activity by superseding the necessity for it; but rather as stimulating it by presenting suitable material in a workable form, and furnishing guidance in such a way as to lead to future independence. The material has of course been supplied in the first place by the text itself. This has been to a small extent supplemented, but chiefly elucidated and illustrated, by matter drawn from sources many of them inaccessible to the English reader. A not inconsiderable element may lay some claim to origi nality, and perhaps this will be the most valuable part of the book to the real student, because treating from the objective standpoint of the foreigner, specially of the Englishman, matters of idiomatic difficulty upon which only scattered hints are to be found in sources English or German. I may refer particularly to the notes on the particles, on the exact force, as felt in the original, of words like erst, z'ibrzlgms, vol lends, &c., and of certain familiar but peculiar modes of con ception and expression which are too completely ingrained in the consciousness of a native for him easily to make them the objects of analysis or of explanation to others.
