Civil Service Progress Discussed At National Assembly
More than 109 members from national, state, and municipal civil service commissions gathered in New York for a three day convention prefixing a Carnegie Hall public meeting. Delegates heard calls to extend competitive service, with remarks by Prendergast and others on merit tests and appointment practices. The event featured papers at the Waldorf Astoria and a round table chaired by James Creelman, ending with plans for a Waldorf dinner and city sightseeing.
