Abstract
IN the article on the above subject in NATURE of August 8, the unsatisfactory method of selecting candidates for Civil Service appointments is very justly emphasised. I desire to make the following suggestion, which will obviate the system of patronage and to a great extent that of competitive examination, both of which suffer from serious inherent defects which need not be discussed.
