Riassunto

Excerpt from First Report of the Civil Service Commission of the City of Brooklyn: December 26th, 1884

Before leaving this preliminary discussiom $1919 are two other points we feel bound to notice. We do not Believe that the civil service examinations have yet attracted as many competent candi dates as they will attract hereafter and as the system becomes better known. We believe excellent men have not competed for many places from want of information as to the system, from doubt of its permanence, and last and probably not least, from a lingering and traditionary belief that political, if not indeed per sonal considerations, have the same sort of weight with civil ser vice examiners that they have in the past been popularly supposed to have with executive officers. Some of the certificates as to character presented to us hear testimony to the powerful survival of this idea. We do not need, we believe, to say to the Mayor that our examinations and ratings have been scrupulously imper senal and free from political or partisan bias. But, we do think it most desirable that it should be widely and definitely known that the introduction of such considerations into the applications of candidates, or into the testimonials sent b y those who vouch for them, do the candidates rather harm than good. 'what the Com mission wish is the completest information accessible about the candidate of the verv kind which would properly weigh with a private employer; and the Commission and the candidates as well are hindered by the offer of any other information.
