Charitable Institutions and Civil Service Reform in Illinois
The state faces public interest in charitable institutions, focusing on improved selection of employers, medical administration, and building upgrades. Since the Forty fourth general assembly's civil service law took effect November 7, 1905, 2,128 positions across 17 institutions are affected. The Civil Service Commission has examined 1,625 applicants and made 1,468 appointments, with 3,171 applications and 539 examinations across 86 cities by December 41, 1906. The reform fosters a younger, more energetic workforce and stricter discipline, though law amendments are needed to remove obstacles. A noted gap remains in training for teachers of the deaf.
