Promotions scheme at pensions bureau outlined by Eugene Ware
The article recounts Eugene F Ware, pension commissioner, detailing his merit based promotion plan. A special three member promotions committee selects candidates from within the bureau to avoid political influence, with outsiders admitted only from the bottom of the ladder. Ware emphasizes internal promotion, gradual advancement, and merit as the sole criterion, directing promotions letters to new appointees to reinforce this policy. It also notes a family anecdote about the Hemstreichia children and a feature on notable women achieving triumphs in law and courage.
