Book Description

Excerpt from Proceedings at the Thirty-Ninth Annual Meeting of the National Civil Service Reform League: At Springfield, Mass;, February 26, 1920 Richard Henry Dana, President of the League, presided. The annual report of the Council to the League was read by the Secretary, and upon motion was adopted. The report is as follows: The Report of the Council General View In a retrospect of the past year it is important to note that the specific problems raised by the war have absorbed less of the attention of the League, and it has been possible to resume the program of enlarged activities projected in 1916 and almost wholly suspended by the war emergency. Certain legacies of the war remain, it is true, notably the new phase of the question of veteran preference; but for the most part the work of the League has dealt with situations in which the political spoilsman has appeared in his familiar role, and his challenge has been met with the weapons tested in many a past conflict. It has been upon the whole a year of progress. Along with some disappointments there remain to the credit of the League certain positive achievements which contribute to the betterment of administrative processes in federal, state and municipal government.
