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 The Civil Service of Great Britain As a civil service reformer Mr. Eaton's work deserves the highest praise. It is something to have set up an honest, competitive civil service, though its standard be the truly democratic one of uniform mediocrity; but such democracy is false democracy, and until we have a service which at tracts the élite of our young men, trained for intellectual work and on a higher level than mechanical clerks, we shall have no civil service worthy of the name.

Excerpt from The Development of the Civil Service: Lectures Delivered Before the Society of Civil Servants, 1920-21 I had the privilege of occupying the Chair while one of the addresses reproduced in this volume was delivered. The whole of them I have read in print, as they appear in the pages which follow. One of the main purposes of the volume is, in the words used by Mr. Laski, "to bring the Civil Service into the forefront of parliamentary consciousness." This is vital. For, as Lord Eustace Percy points out in the paper he has written here, a Civil Service may be reduced to impotence and inefficiency in two ways. One way, he says, "is to have no policy and to give it no instructions, and the other is to have more than one policy and to give it conflicting instructions." Now these methods of destroying the chances of the Civil Service have disclosed themselves constantly in the past and they disclose their existence to-day. They are the outcome of a defect in the public habit of mind, one that is common in British Parliaments and in British Ministers who derive from these their authority. That habit is to proceed to immediate action without systematically spending time on prior reflection. The tendency leads to inevitable confusion and waste.

Excerpt from Administration, Vol. 2 of 15: Civil Service Their distrust of Democracy induced them to construct the electoral college for the choice Of a President, the original idea being that the people should elect their best and wisest men, who in turn should, untrammelled by outside pressure, elect a President.
