In fact, civil service reform had, probably, a harder fight for recognition than any other new administrative method is ever likely to have in America, for it had to make the first break in the traditions under which two generations had grown up, and to get acceptance from a public which had never considered at all the possibility of any improvements in governmental machinery.
