WHY GOOD MEN DODGE
Tlie government service must look
largely to the graduates from colleges
will universities in recruiting for its
technical work. Replies to an Inquiry
addressed to some forty of the leading
colleges and universities of the coun
try to discover what class of men took
civil service examinations, whether
the number is decreasing and, if so,
the reasons, disclose vividly what the
training schools of technical and scieu
tilic men think about the government
as an employer. They warn their
graduates against government service,
und the graduates heed the warning.
Carnegie Institute of Techuology
at Pittsburgh, reports:
It la certainly true that the best of our
graduates are not Interested in govern
ment employment because they feel that,
first of all, it dues not pay adequate sal
aries, nor does it offer opportunity for
advancement that private enterprise does.
Tins spring I interviewed all the mem
bers of the graduating class, except the
women, and none of them would consider
government employment, although there
were many positions open. . . . There
are now about 1,01X1 male graduates of the
institute, and I will venture to state that
not more than ten are employed by the
government.
Keplies of similar tenor and import
were received from the University of
Chicago, Lelund Stanford university,
Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
l'rinceton university, Indiana univer
sity, and the University of Wisconsin.
Inequality of compensation Is one
of the chief reasons that deter scien
tific men from going into the govern
ment service. Congress fixes the sal
aries of most of the government em
ployees. I can give u concrete Illus
tration of how it determines the sal
aries of scientific men.
Dr. Leland O. Howard and Dr. Ed
ward W. Nelson are two scientists In
the employ of the government who
have national reputations.
The appropriation hill for the De
partment of Agriculture was under
consideration In the house on January
;SO;h, V.tti). The secretary of agricul
ture had been recommending for five
or six years that Doctor Howard's
salary he increased from $4,5UO to $o,
UOO. lie proposed it again in that
year's bill. When the item was reached
in the discussion on the floor, this col
loquy ensued :
Mr. Stafford-Mister Chairman, I re
serve a point of order on the paragraph.
Is the entomologist whose salary you
propose to increase the same person rec
ommended for an increase last year?
Mr. Lever Yea; he has been in the gov
ernment service many, many years.
Tlie Chairman I make the point of or
der. Mr. Ijever I vconcede tt.
Mr. McLaughlin of Michigan Will the
gentleman reserve his point of order'
Mr. Stafford I will reserve it.
Mr. Mclaughlin The committee made
the lerommendation to Increase the sal
ary p. took testimony on It and con
sidered It very carefully. In our Judg
ment the Increase In salary ought to bs
made for an official who has been in the
department, as the chairman says, for a
long time at the heal of tills bureau. He
has performed able and faithful services.
Tlie salary is less than that paid to the
heads of other bureaus. We felt, after
listening to all that was said, and 'with a
knowledge of the work he lias been doing
and has done, the salary proposed is not
too large.
Mr. Stafford How long has he been
there?
Mr. Lever He has been there forty-two
years,
Mr. Stafford What Is his age?
Mr. Lever Over sixty, perhaps nenrer
seventy, hut he Is still vigorous and aide
to do good work. He Is one of the
greatest entomologists In the world.
Tlie Chairman The point of order Is
sustained.
Klve minutes later the matter of
Doctor Nelson's salary was reached.
The secretary of agriculture recom
mended 11 n increase of his pay from
J3.WH1 to $4,t)oo. This happened:
Mr. feiafford-Mlster Chairman, I re
serve the point of ordsr on the para
graph. Will the chairman of the com
mittee inform the house as to how long
this biologist has been in the service
of the government and how long he has
been receiving the present salary of 13.500,
on which you recommend an Increase of
loOO?
Mr. Lever Mister Chairman, this gen
tleman, whose nam is Nelson, has been
In the service of the department since
November, 1&30. He has served as chief
field naturalist from 19V7 to 112, and was
assistant in charge of the biological In
vestigation, from 113 to 1K14. On August
t. 1914, he was appointed assistant chief
of the bureau, arid on December 1, JiflB,
was made chief of the bureau. He took
the place of Loctor Henshaw.
Mr. Stafford And the salary has been
tXVO since 1M6?
Mr. Iver-Yes
Mr. Stafford-What Is his age?
Mr. lvr I should think that Doctor
Nelon Is round fifty years of age.
Mr. S'afTord-He Is not superannuated.
Mr. Ier oh. no, lie Is a very vig'ir
O': mun
Mr. (lufTord-M'ster Chairman, I with
draw th p-iint of order.
Doctor Howard was refused j,s .
crease of pay because he was t'.o obi,
"mt'r sixty, perhaps nearer seventy. "
Doctor NcKoti was allowed Ills In
crease because ),( whs riot Miperun
iiuuifil hut In his prime, "round fifty
years of He."
Now, ss a matter of fart, Doctor
Howard is more than two years young
er than Doctor Nelson. Is It any won
der that scientific men of any attain
ment are reluctant to enter a service
where the measure of the value of
their services la set down In aay sucb
haphazard and casual way?
