It ‘s a moot question whether this ls 1 desirable ‘thing, a tolerable thing, J; an evil that calls for reform. The practise may be viewed from various standpoi-nvts and at differ- ent angles. We speak of a civil servant today as anyone who re- ceives a stated salary in any de- partment of the Federal or Provin- cial govern-meats. All will agree that lt is of prime importance that. those persons so employed should be oapa-ble, honest, diligent and at- aentive to their work and should five their best mind and their best effort to the discharge of their pill a1 duties. I s um: The moment a civil servant be- comes actively interested in a pri- vate business enterprise be it a store, a factory, a farm. or what not, he has a divided mind. This is the root of the evil that en- sues. His oflicial salary is fixed. He cannot enlarge the amount of nls monthly cheque. lie hopes to make gain and increasing gains from his side-line in business. Hopes and prospects of gain alike turn his attention away cfrom his official duties more and more to- wards his private business, but. where the treasure is the heart will be. At first, he does not neglect his ofilcial duties, he keeps regular hours and automatically carries on his ofllce work while his mind ls more and more pro-occupied with his own affairs outside. If the outside business prosper: he thinks about It more and plans to extend It. If it falls to prosper as becomes anxious about it.

There is no more im- portant matter of public concern than the’ efficiency of the people; and this is conditional mainly upon health of mind and body, and vigor in all their parts.
