Download or read book The Civil Service Coach written by Stanley Saville and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Civil Service Coach: A Practical Exposition of the Civil Service Curriculum and Guide to the Lower Division of the Service and Its Competitive Examinations The purpose of this manual is to provide a practical exposition of the Civil Service curriculum, and to prescribe a fit and effective method of compassing its requirements. That curriculum is constituted by the excellent and appropriate scheme framed by the Civil Service Commissioners for open competitions for Clerkships in the Lower Division of the Service. With special regard, therefore, to these competitions, which admit to the great majority of Government situations, the design of this little work is projected. Most other examinations, however, are modelled upon that scheme: since its adoption, indeed, nearly all Civil Service appointments have been conditional upon qualification in subjects which it comprises. Even the examinations for professional and scientific appointments, and for the Higher Division of the Service, include a preliminary test in certain of these Lower Division subjects. It is imperative, therefore, that candidates for any Government situation obtainable through open competition should be well acquainted with the subjects composing the Civil Service curriculum, set forth in the following pages. The plan of this work is simple and direct. It dispenses with the statistical machinery from which former handbooks were chiefly manufactured.

Download or read book The Civil Service written by Edward Cary and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Civil Service: The Merit System, the Spoils System The chief aim of the merit system is, on the one hand, to get the best service for the Government - that is, for the people - and, on the other hand, to remove from the party contests of the country the corrupting influence of the vast number of business places offered as spoils to the victors. The methods of competition and probation are not perfect, and, like all other human methods, are liable to mismanage ment. But they are the best that have ever been tried, and they are very efl'ective. The test of competitive examination is shown to be thorough and practical by the fact that only a very small number of those who pass that test are dropped after probation or trial. Another proof is the much larger amount of work done by persons so selected. During ten years before the adoption of the merit system in the Depart ments at Washington the number of clerks increased from to or more than two-thirds. In the thirteen years after the system was adopted the number actually fell off 21 1, or three per cent., while the work of the departments had largely increased. Another proof of the efficiency of the system is the small number of changes that take place in it compared with those that take place in the branches of the service where the system is not yet applied. Two facts are noteworthy with regard to the efl'ect of the use of the merit system on partisan contests in politics. The total cost of the executive service is over Of this nearly $7 or three-fourths, is now paid to those employees who are under the merit system. This very large sum is no longer held out as prizes for partisan activity, or treated as the spoils of the enemy. The other fact is that the feeling of the people that the government is theirs, and does not belong to the party in power for the time being, is greatly strengthened. The entrance examinations are held in all parts of the land, and men and women are selected for the departments at Washington with no regard whatever for their party views or the influence of politicians. This has been of great effect in laying to rest the passions bred by the civil war, and giving to the dwellers in the South a sense of their common rights and duties as citizens of the nation. It is a great and lasting gain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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 ser vice 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 whch in private life are com prehended within the field of employment management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Federal Civil Service as a Career: A Manual for Applicants for Positions and Those in the Civil Service of the Nation Early in the history of our country it became manifest that frequent change in the Government's civil personnel was not conducive to the best results. Tenure of office, entirely dependent upon political preference, offered no inducement for civilians to make a study of conditions when to-morrow might see another party voted into power, and themselves displaced. It is obvious that this system invited the low ideals and loose ethics typically voiced in the notorious sentiment attributed to President Jackson, "To the victor belong the spoils." With a strange patience our people endured the spoils system for one hundred years. During this time a healthy agitation for reform began to make itself felt, reaching fruition in 1883. Congress heard the demand and passed what is known as the Civil Service Act. This act - with the amendments that followed - provided for the classification of executive positions, and assured reasonable permanence in office to the main body of workers. The law was at first regarded with much misgiving, but a quarter of a century under its guidance has proved the wisdom of those who framed it. As an experiment a few branches only of the executive service were brought under the law, but, the beneficial features becoming evident, branch after branch was added, till now two thirds of the whole executive service is embraced by it.

They ought to get the best service at a fair rate, but they have often paid the highest prices for the poorest kind of work. Civil-service reform had two things to accomplish first, to prevent the government service, the service of the whole people, from being misused for politicians or parties second, to provide for choosing fit men for the public service, on truly democratic principles. Usually, after each election, the politicians who had won wanted places for their friends. They began this cry as long ago as the time of Thomas Jefferson. But Jefferson refused to remove good officers, unless they had been violent partisans. The party workers, nevertheless, kept up their pressure, and by the time of Jackson it was recognized that to the victors belong the spoils. This meant that the half of the American people which won in an election were entitled to look upon the other half as victims of war. This was a very un-american, um-demo cratic, un-republican spirit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book China s Examination Hell written by Ichisada Miyazaki and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1981-01-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by one of the foremost historians of Chinese institutions, this book focuses on China's civil service examination system in its final and most elaborate phase during the Ch'ing dynasty. All aspects of this labyrinthine system are explored: the types of questions, the style and form in which they were to be answered, the problem of cheating, and the psychological and financial burdens of the candidates, the rewards of the successful and the plight of those who failed. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including Chinese novels, short stories, and plays, this thought provoking and entertaining book brings to vivid life the testing structure that supplied China's government bureaucracy for almost fourteen hundred years. "Professor Miyazaki's informative work is concerned with a system. . . that was, in effect, . . . the basic institution of Chinese political life, the real pillar which supported the imperial monarchy, the effective vehicle for the aspirations and ambitions of the ruling class. Imperial China without the examination system for the past thousand years and more would have developed in an entirely different way and might not have endured as the continuing form of government over a huge empire."--Pacific Affairs "The most comprehensive narrative treatment in any language of [this] enduring achievement of Chinese civilization."--American Historical Review

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Legion Weekly, Vol. 7: March 6, 1925 When he had finished high school, in 1913, he went to work. His first job was teaching high school at Harbine, Nebraska. Next year he did the same thing at Reynolds, Nebraska. He taught mathematics and science. There has been a persistent rumor around the State of Nebraska, ever since, that those science and mathematics classes at Harbine and Reynolds set new world's records for perfect deportment, despite the youth of their instructor. I guess you would have behaved your self well in high school if your teach ers had all been six feet six and one fourth inches tall, and heavy in pro portion. Incidentally, he qualified for teaching at this early age by passing the stiff state examinations provided for high school teachers. All the time, of course, Wayne was sending home money to help the little group at Fairbury - his mother and his younger brothers and sisters. He wanted to learn more. So the fall of 1915 saw Wayne Munn enrolled as a freshman in the medical college of the University of Nebraska, at Lin coln. Where was the money coming from?

Download or read book Command Of The Air written by General Giulio Douhet and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the pantheon of air power spokesmen, Giulio Douhet holds center stage. His writings, more often cited than perhaps actually read, appear as excerpts and aphorisms in the writings of numerous other air power spokesmen, advocates-and critics. Though a highly controversial figure, the very controversy that surrounds him offers to us a testimonial of the value and depth of his work, and the need for airmen today to become familiar with his thought. The progressive development of air power to the point where, today, it is more correct to refer to aerospace power has not outdated the notions of Douhet in the slightest In fact, in many ways, the kinds of technological capabilities that we enjoy as a global air power provider attest to the breadth of his vision. Douhet, together with Hugh “Boom” Trenchard of Great Britain and William “Billy” Mitchell of the United States, is justly recognized as one of the three great spokesmen of the early air power era. This reprint is offered in the spirit of continuing the dialogue that Douhet himself so perceptively began with the first edition of this book, published in 1921. Readers may well find much that they disagree with in this book, but also much that is of enduring value. The vital necessity of Douhet’s central vision-that command of the air is all important in modern warfare-has been proven throughout the history of wars in this century, from the fighting over the Somme to the air war over Kuwait and Iraq.
Download or read book The Adult Learner written by Malcolm S. Knowles and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-20 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you tailor education to the learning needs of adults? Do they learn differently from children? How does their life experience inform their learning processes? These were the questions at the heart of Malcolm Knowles’ pioneering theory of andragogy which transformed education theory in the 1970s. The resulting principles of a self-directed, experiential, problem-centred approach to learning have been hugely influential and are still the basis of the learning practices we use today. Understanding these principles is the cornerstone of increasing motivation and enabling adult learners to achieve. The 9th edition of The Adult Learner has been revised to include: Updates to the book to reflect the very latest advancements in the field. The addition of two new chapters on diversity and inclusion in adult learning, and andragogy and the online adult learner. An updated supporting website. This website for the 9th edition of The Adult Learner will provide basic instructor aids including a PowerPoint presentation for each chapter. Revisions throughout to make it more readable and relevant to your practices. If you are a researcher, practitioner, or student in education, an adult learning practitioner, training manager, or involved in human resource development, this is the definitive book in adult learning you should not be without.
Download or read book Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-07-29 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.
