To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What is wanted are those who know best how to apply their knowledge in a constructive manner, and those who have the peculiar form of ability known as executive or business capacity. Moreover, for these posts the test of brief probationary appointments cannot well be applied. For those best fitted for such places will be already engaged in similar work, and are not hkely to abandon a permanent position for a [jrobationary appointment in the public service. These diflficulties require some chang...es in methods. But such changes of detail are by no means impossible or inconsistent with the main principles of the merit system. The important point is to find the methods best adapted for various classes of offices. One of the first steps that must be taken in many cities is to take these higher administrative posts out of the class of elective oflices. Popular election necessarily in- troduces political factors into the choice of officers, and for officers who have political functions to perform popu- lar election is essential in a democratic government.
