The major functions are\nselection of the best available personnel; equitable salary administration through a\nsystem of position classification; and management problems of staff size, efficiency, and\ntraining. J| jf\nIn addition to its regular duties, the Commission was faced during 1954 with special\nproblems such as staff adjustments consequent to the reorganization of the British\nColumbia Hospital Insurance Service; the institution and control of a revised system of\ntemporary appointment; the sponsoring of a Civil Service Health Centre in Victoria;\nand the Government's announcement of the placing of the greater part of the Service\non a 40-hour (or less) work basis per week.\nUsual meetings were held throughout the year. In addition, each member reviewed\nnumerous reports for final consideration and disposal. Representatives of various\nemployee groups and departmental officials were heard from time to time.\nSIZE AND COMPOSITION OF THE CIVIL SERVICE\nFor the first time in a decade, enrolment in the Civil Service showed a decrease.\nOn December 31st, 1953, the total number of probationary and permanent Civil Servants\nenrolled was 7,995 {see Table 3, page 24, Annual Report, 1954); the corresponding\nnumber at December 31st, 1954, was 7,945 {see Appendix, Table 3), a decrease of 50.\nThe gross total (including temporary employees) at the end of 1953 was 8,543; the\ncorresponding number at the end of 1954 was 8,523 {see Appendix, Tables 3 and 4),\na decrease of 20. Hence the enrolment curve, which flattened out during 1953, took a\nslight dip during 1954.\nAn analysis of type of appointment and enrolment in each department of Government is given in the Appendix, Tables 3 and 4. Roughly 15 per cent of the permanent\nCivil Service staff are probationers.\nAMENDMENTS TO REGULATIONS\nMost of the amendments to Civil Service regulations during 1954 were concerned\nwith hours of work. The most important was Order in Council No. 2875, approved\nDecember 21st, which provided for the implementation by April 1st, 1955, of a maximum\n40-hour work-week for the entire Civil Service, with the exception of psychiatric nurses\nand psychiatric aides on the staffs of the mental hospitals and ferry personnel and firefighters in the Public Works Department. As a result of this Order in Council, the\nweekly hours of work for the Civil Service will be generally as follows:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nHours\n(1) Clerical, administrative, and professional classifications\n(about 45 per cent of the Service) 36%\n(2) Custodial and maintenance classifications (about 42 per\nP cent of the Service) | 40\n(3) Psychiatric nurses, psychiatric aides, and ferry crews\n(about 13 per cent of the Service) 44\n(4) Fire-fighters (about 0.002 per cent of the Service) 48\n9\n HH 10\nBRITISH COLUMBIA\nOther classifications brought into the normal pattern were as follows:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nOrder in Council No. 558, approved March 19th, 1954, as amended by Order in\nCouncil No. 743, provided that the general attendance (exclusive of meal periods) f0r\njanitors and all employees engaged in the maintenance of and repairs to Government\nbuildings throughout the Civil Service, employed on day shifts, be forty-four hours per\nweek, and for such personnel employed on night shifts, forty hours per week. Consequent\nto the 40-hour week, approved by Order in Council No. 2875, a further Order in Council\n(No. 2900, approved December 22nd, 1954) revised the hours stated in Order No. 558\nto forty hours for day janitors (exclusive of meal periods) and to forty hours for night\njanitors (inclusive of meal periods) and also set the forty hours as the weekly number\nfor barbers and hairdressers.\nOrder in Council No. 1098, approved May 21st, 1954, provided that the work-week\nfor employees of the Forest Service Marine Station in Vancouver should be forty hours.\nOrder in Council No. 2560, approved November 12th, 1954, set the hours of work\nfor registered nurses to be forty on a 5-day week, and forty-two and five-eighths on a\n5V2-6.2iy week.\nFor the purpose of aligning Government hours of service to the public, Order in\nCouncil No. 2623, approved November 23rd, 1954, as amended by Order in Council\nNo. 2698, set the office and work hours of Government employees in certain areas in the\neastern and northern sections of the Province.\nOrder in Council No. 2318, approved October 12th, 1954, amended the Regulations\nGoverning the Granting of Sick-leave to Civil Servants by providing that, in exceptional\ncases, evidence in a form other than the certificate of a duly qualified medical practitioner\nmay be referred by the Commission to the Health Branch for consideration and advice.\nOrder in Council No. 2699, approved November 30th, 1954, rescinded the regulations governing the enlistment of Provincial Government employees in Her Majesty's\nForces and made provision for revised regulations, which stipulate a maximum 3-year\nperiod for leave of absence from Provincial Government employ for the purpose of\nserving with Her Majesty's Forces.\nAPPOINTMENT AND RECRUITMENT RATE \u00C2\u00A3\nDuring the year 2,120 new\u00E2\u0080\u0094that is, probationary and casual\u00E2\u0080\u0094and confirmed\npermanent appointments\u00E2\u0080\u0094that is, employees who have successfully completed probationary periods in 1954\u00E2\u0080\u0094were made by the Commission {see Appendix, Table 2). This\nis a figure which is 64 larger than the similar figure for 1953.\nThe number of separations reported is 2,529 {see Appendix, Table 9). In the same\nperiod 968 gained permanent appointment to the Service {see Appendix, Table 8). This\nlatter figure includes probationary appointments carried over from some of the 1,054\nprobationary employees appointed in 1953. Of the 2,120 new appointments, 1,149 were\nprobationary and 533 were casual {see Appendix, Table 2). Thus, by adding the\nnumber of probationary appointments (1,149) and the number of casual appointments\n(533), it is possible to arrive at the number of new appointments made during the year,\nwhich was 1,149 plus 533 equalling 1,682, being 19.7 per cent of the gross total number\nof appointments of 8,523 as at December 31st, 1954. This 19.7-per-cent recruitment\nrate is only 0.2 per cent higher than that for 1953. It would appear that the Service,\nas stated in our last Annual Report, is securing some degree of stability. -^^-\nYear\n1947.\n1948.\n1949.\n1950.\nRecruitment Rate\n 37.0\n 31.7\n 23.6 jf\n 18.5\nYear\n1951.\n1952\n1953.\n1954.\nRecruitment Rate\n 22.4\n..__ 24.5\n_____ 19.5\n..__. 19.7\n CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION REPORT\nHH 11\nSEPARATIONS\nAgain this year the Chief Personnel Officer's analysis of the reasons for the\nseparation of permanently appointed personnel from the Service indicates no divergence\nfrom normal trends, with the satisfactory exception that the percentage of dismissals for\nunsatisfactory services has shown a decline of from 10 per cent of separations to 4 per\ncent of separations, since 1952 {see page 16).\nEvidence that permanent appointment is not automatically obtained, or that once\nsecured it cannot be withdrawn, is found in the fact that 54 employees were dismissed\nduring the year and 61 had their probationary periods extended. In addition, 10 suffered\nsuspensions without dismissals.\nThe following tabulation shows the extent of this disciplinary trend during the past\nthree years:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n1951\n1952\n1953\n1954\nNumber of Civil Servants whose probationary periods were extended\t\nNumber of Civil Servants who were suspended from duty but not dismissed\nNumber of Civil Servants who were dismissed \t\n43\n12\n66\n68\n8\n53\n49\n11\n64\n61\n10\n54\nGENERAL ELIGIBILITY EXAMINATIONS\nGeneral assembled stenographic, clerical, and draughting examinations for the\nestablishment of eligibility lists in the junior classifications were held four times during\nthe year in Victoria, in addition to constant smaller and individual examinations in the\nCommission's office. In Vancouver it again was found impossible to maintain eligibility\nlists for a reasonable period of time. Hence applicants were examined constantly in the\nCommission's Vancouver office. Interior points were served through the never-failing\ncourteous assistance of the Department of Finance Government Agents, who, when\nnecessary, conducted the examinations.\nIn the Victoria centre the total number of applicants who were examined in these\njunior written examinations amounted to 751. Of this number, 455 or 61 per cent\nqualified. In the Vancouver area 309 were examined, of which 278 or 89 per cent\nqualified.\nThe records of both these offices during the past few years are as follows:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nPercentage of Qualifications on General Eligibility Examinations\nOffice\n1950\n1951\n1952\nVictoria ..\nVancouver\nPer Cent\n71\nPer Cent\n67\n88\nPer Cent\n64\n72\n1953\n1954\nPer Cent\n66\n84\nPer Cent\n61\n89\n1 No record.\nOne of the reasons given to explain why the Vancouver qualification percentages\nare higher than the Victoria percentages is that in the Victoria centre many candidates\nwho have failed the generally assembled examinations appear for a re-examination (sometimes after a second failure) some time later in the year. This apparently does not\nhappen so frequently in Vancouver, as to date there have been no generally assembled\nexaminations, and, in addition, the competition for workers in Vancouver is keener than\n^ Victoria. \u00C2\u00A7\nWritten examinations are used also for competitions in other classifications, as the\nneed arises. Such examinations during the year were: Personnel Officer, Mental Health\n HH 12 BRITISH COLUMBIA\nServices; Departmental Comptroller, Department of the Attorney-General; Assistant\nChief Land Inspector; Senior Clerk\u00E2\u0080\u0094Grade 1, Parks Division, Forest Service; and\nSanitary Inspector trainees, Health Branch. I\nJj PROMOTIONAL POLICY jt '^^$--\nlllf The usual policy of promotion of as wide an advertising of vacancies as possible\nand of giving preference to in-Service personnel when qualifications were judged equivalent to applications from without the Service, was continued. In order to guard against\nin-Service breeding, all vacancies advertised within the Service are simultaneously advertised in the newspapers, inviting public application. Of the 543 vacancies posted within\nthe Service and advertised publicly, 371 or 68 per cent were filled from within the Service.\nj| | IN-SERVICE TRAINING ||t -; \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 -|\n4f: The usual training courses, conducted by the various departments and referred to\nin previous Annual Reports of this Commission, were continued throughout the year.\nIn addition to formal departmental courses, some departments conduct annual or biennial\nconferences of their key field personnel.\nSupervisory training courses were continued. They are well received by the\npersonnel concerned. In 1954 the total number of supervisors who attended these\nintensive courses amounted to 405. They were held in various centres in the Okanagan\nValley; on the C.P.R. main line; at the Pearson Tuberculosis Hospital, Vancouver; The\nWoodlands School, New Westminster; the Provincial Mental Hospital, Essondale; and\nin the Division of Vital Statistics in Victoria.\nSince the inauguration of these courses in 1950, more than 1,200 supervisors have\nbeen enrolled, as follows:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nNumber of Supervisors\nYear Enrolled\n1950 101\n1951 132\n1952 317\n1953 j ! 287\n# 1954 j j 405\nTotal 1,242\nTHE VANCOUVER AND ESSONDALE OFFICES\nWork on the Mainland, as indicated in former Annual Reports, reached the stage\nwhere relief became imperative. As a result, the placement of a Civil Service Commission personnel officer to serve the Mental Health Services from the hospital at Essondale\nwas recommended by the Government and approved in the Estimates of the Legislative\nAssembly. An open competition for the appointment was held. The vacancy was advertised throughout Canada, and written and oral examinations were held. Mr. G. L.\nTomalty, a B.A. graduate in Economics and Government from the University of British\nColumbia, who also has a Master of Public Administration degree from the University\nof Washington, won the competition. He was serving at the time as personnel assistant\nin the Department of Public Works. He commenced his new duties in August.\nThe institution of this office not only will lighten the work in the Vancouver office,\nbut, in addition, will intensify the work of the Commission in respect to the mental\ninstitutions and hence expedite personnel administration in these institutions. A consolidated report of both the Vancouver and Essondale offices is given elsewhere in this\nReport. Transfer of staff, consequent to the closing of the Jericho Tuberculosis Unit,\nhas been satisfactorily handled by the Vancouver office in co-operation with the Division\nof Tuberculosis Control.\n CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION REPORT HH 13\nCLASSIFICATION AND SALARY PLAN\nThe work of the Classification Division is tabulated in the Appendix, Tables 17 and\n19 The total number of official classification reviews amounted to 678. This may be\ncompared to 728 in 1953, 818 in 1952, 980 in 1951, and 708 in 1950. In addition,\nspecial assignments involving investigations and reports on various conditions of service'\nsuch as hours of work and prevailing wage and salary studies, are continually being\nconducted by the Classification Division. ^ v |\nDEPARTMENTAL ESTABLISHMENTS ' f: V\nDuring the year 191 new positions were classified into the Service and 488 positions\nwere deleted {see Appendix, Table 19). As reported by the Classification Officer, this\ntable 1 does not show increases to certain positions in mental hospitals, such as psychiatric nurses and aides, where staff has increased with the growth of these institutions.\"\nConsidering this, it appears the number of probationary and permanent employees within\nthe Civil Service shows a decrease of fifty from the end of December, 1953, to the end\nof December, 1954. It is estimated that the savings effected through classification and\norganization studies exceeded $75,000.\nThe reorganization of the Hospital Insurance Service resulted in a reduction of its\nstaff from 445 to 95. A great deal of personnel administration, including establishment\nreorganization, reorganized position classifications, and personnel transfers, was involved.\nThe task was smoothly and competently accomplished, largely through the understanding\nand co-operation of senior officials from the Hospital Insurance Service, the Finance\nDepartment, and the Civil Service Commission.\nSICK AND SPECIAL LEAVE\nA total of 51,588 days' sick-leave were granted during the period October 1st, 1953,\nto September 30th, 1954\u00E2\u0080\u009442,353V6 days with pay and 9,234^ without pay. This is\nan average of 6.6 days per Civil Servant enrolled as at September 30th, 1954 {see\nAppendix, Table 5), an increase over the average for the previous 12-month period,\nwhich was 6.4 days. These figures do not include sick-leave granted to Civil Servants\nas Workmen's Compensation Board or Department of Veterans' Affairs cases.\nThe average salary as at September 30th, 1954, calculated on a daily-rate basis,\nwas $11.50, so that it will be seen the cost of sick-leave granted with pay in this 12-month\nperiod was $487,065. While this figure seems high, most of the sick-leave was of short\nduration, no payment for relief assistance being required.\nTwenty-eight employees are on leave of absence serving with units of Her Majesty's\nForces under the provisions of Orders in Council Nos. 2223/50 and 2857/50, and\nduring the year fifty-six employees were granted special leave for the purpose of training\nwith Reserve units of Her Majesty's Forces or to take officers' training courses. Two\nemployees are serving with United Nations Organizations. |\nFifty-seven employees were granted special leave of absence for further training and\nstudy, in some cases with the assistance of Federal health grants. Jj\nDuring the year a Civil Service Health Unit under the direct supervision of the\nDirector of Environmental Management of the Health Branch was inaugurated. A clinic\nwith a nurse in charge for the handling of Government employees in the Victoria area\nwas put into operation. It is too early yet to report on the effectiveness of the unit, but\nnwch is expected in the way of the administration of the principles of public health in\nhe ranks of the Government's own employees.\nGRIEVANCES\nFor the third consecutive year, no formal grievance was heard by the Commission.\n HH 14\nBRITISH COLUMBIA\n1 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS\nDuring the year, centres in the Okanagan and C.P.R. main line, including Kamloops\nreceived official visits. I\nDuring the year the Commission was favoured with a visit from a member of the\nBoard of Commissioners of the British Civil Service, namely, Mr. C. J. Hayes, Director\nof Examinations. The visit proved mutually beneficial in the exchange of information\non the methods of public personnel management and recruitment as practised in both\ncountries.\nI The Commission wishes to express its appreciation of the co-operation given in its\nwork by the various departments of Government, and by the Federal and Provincial\nCivil Service Commissions. It also desires to express, to each member of its technical\nand clerical staffs, appreciation for the never-failing efficient and loyal support.\nCIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION.\nH. M.

(This does\nnot include married women who were not self-supporting or persons who had arranged\nother employment for themselves.) To date, 165 of this group have been placed in the\nCivil Service, which includes all those with eight or more years' service. The remaining\n31 are on eligibility or priority lists for re-entry into the Service.\nThe closing of the Jericho Tuberculosis Unit in Vancouver did not constitute a similar\nproblem, since the majority of staff have been readily absorbed into other institutions.\n2.

GENERAL ' J| -\n\u00C2\u00A7j| For the month of March, 1954, the Chief Personnel Officer was granted special\nleave to work with the Selection and Training Analysis Unit, Royal Canadian Air Force,\nin Toronto.\nMiss J. M. Campbell organized and led an extension course in personnel management, given at Victoria College (Evening Division), sponsored by the Pacific Northwest\nPersonnel Management Association, and also lectured on this subject to a supply officers'\ntraining course, Royal Canadian Navy, Esquimalt.\nAssistance is given all Government departments in problems of personnel administration, supervision, etc. The closest co-operation is maintained with placement officers\nof National Employment Service, the Department of Veterans' Affairs, the Workmen's\nCompensation Board, and the Greater Victoria school system. fjl\n CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION REPORT\nHH 17\nREPORT OF THE CLASSIFICATION OFFICER, A. G. RICHARDSON, M.A.\nCLASSIFICATION AND JOB EVALUATION\nTable 17, attached, indicates the distribution by department and type of classification\nreviews during 1954, with comparative figures for previous years. The total number of\nreviews were fewer than in previous years, but the percentage of upward revisions was\nlarger. Proportionately the number of reviews resulting in no change in salary or\ndownward revisions were less than in previous years. For example, 76 per cent of reviews\nresulted in upward revisions in 1954, whereas only 67 per cent produced the same result\nin 1953 and 62 per cent in 1952, indicating that departmental and employees' requests\nfor reclassification are becoming increasingly justified. This may indicate, as a result of\nthe reduction in total numbers of requests, that there is a greater degree of selection on\nthe part of departmental officials and the employees themselves. It also indicates a better\nappreciation of the value of jobs and the principles of job evaluation.\nDuring the year a revised aid to job evaluation of clerical positions was placed in\noperation. This is a point system similar to that previously in use, but in a simpler form.\nA system of job evaluation for professional positions is in the process of development and\nis presently being discussed with departmental heads and other senior officials.\nIn conjunction with classification studies a number of salary surveys were conducted\nduring the year, as follows:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n(1\n(2\n(3\n(4\n(5\n(6\n(7\n(8\n(9\n(10\n(11\n(12\n(13\n(14\n(15\n(16\n(17\n(18\n(19\n(20\n(21\n(22\n(23\n(24\n(25\n(26\n(27\n(28\n(29\n(30\n(31\nSurvey of clerical and related positions.\nPsychiatrists and Physicians.\nFire-fighters.\nSocial Workers.\nDeck-hands.\nFiremen in heating plants.\nRoad Labourers.\nAgriculturists.\nWard Assistants.\nPharmacists.\nClerks in engineering offices.\nPsychiatric Nurses and Aides.\nOrderlies.\nNurses' Aides.\nFerry Captains, Engineers, Mates, and Pursers. .\nTabulating-machine Operators and Supervisors. ^\nAutomotive Mechanics.\nButchers.\nBeginning level positions in clerical, stenographic, and office-equipment\noperator categories.\nProfessional Engineers.\nResearch Assistants.\nElevator Operators. |\u00C2\u00A7 \u00C2\u00A7\nJanitors.\nStationary Engineers.\nDistrict Public Works Superintendents.\nTradesmen.\nLaundry-workers.\nBarbers and Hairdressers.\nRadio Operators and Technicians.\nSeamstresses.\nRoad Foremen.\n HH 18\nBRITISH COLUMBIA\nA number of reviews of positions were conducted which include employees in several\ndepartments.

J|\nBacteriologists and Laboratory Technicians: Revised classification reducing\nnumber of grades.\nBuilding Service Workers: Revised classification reducing number of grades\nChief Draughtsmen: Salary revised upward. ff\nTabulating-machine Operators and Supervisors: Salaries increased in some\ncases.\nRegistered and Public Health Nurses: Salaries revised upwards in most cases.\nIn addition, position specifications were written or rewritten in the case of 103\npositions and a number of miscellaneous reports completed, as follows:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nH Effect of 5-day 40-hour week.\n(2) Confidential Report for the Minister of Labour.\n(3) Organization of Surveys and Mapping Branch.\n(4) Hours of Work of Registered Nurses.\n(5) Hours of Work of Barbers and Hairdressers.\n(6) Special Report on Fees for Gas Fitters'Licences.\n(7) Effect of 1 Equal Pay Act \" on Positions in the Service.\n(8) Report on Staff Concerned with School Plans. j|\n(9) Report on Long Service Pay.\n(10) Report on Log Scalers'Salaries.\n(11) Report on Civil Service Establishments.\n(12) Report on Minister of Labour's Office.\n(13) Salaries of Ministers'Secretaries.\nDuring the year Classification Schedules were revised, apart from routine changes\nin title, by the addition of 66 positions and the deletion of 105 others. The Schedules\ntherefore list 39 fewer categories than were listed at the beginning of the year. There\nare at present 847 listed in the Schedules.\nESTABLISHMENTS Jj\nThe Division continued to maintain a check on departmental establishments by\nreviewing some positions already established and all new positions. Table 19, attached,\nindicates the number of these reviews by departments. It indicates that there were 191\nnew positions added to the Service in 1954 and 488 positions deleted from the Service.\nThe table does not show increases to certain positions in mental hospitals, such as\npsychiatric nurses and aides, where staff has increased with the growth of these institutions. Taking these into consideration, the number of permanent employees within the\nCivil Service shows a decrease of 64 from the end of December, 1953, to the end of\nNovember, 1954. i\nFINANCIAL ASPECTS\nThe approximate savings on classification reviews during the year were $40,000 and\non establishment reviews approximately $35,000, a total of $75,000. |\n CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION REPORT HH 19\nREPORT OF PERSONNEL OFFICERS, VANCOUVER AND ESSONDALE\nS. B. Williscroft, B.Comm., Vancouver\nG. L. Tomalty, M.P.A., Essondale\nDuring 1954 the Vancouver office continued to be engaged in recruiting and placing\npersonnel; assessing positions for classification purposes; conducting staff and organizational surveys; investigating grievances and advising officials on matters relating to\npersonnel practices as they concern the Government offices and institutions situated on\nthe Lower Mainland. Over the period of the last several years the bulk of this work\nincreased annually, and, as a result, the Civil Service Commission appointed a personnel\nofficer for duty in the Mental Health Services during August last. The office of this\nofficial is situated in the Crease Clinic, Essondale, and it provides complete service to the\ninstitutions and offices of the Mental Health Services.\nThe recruitment and placement of personnel during 1954 through advertising and\nposting continued to maintain the high level of activity experienced in former years and\nresulted in a total of 1,099 appointments on the Lower Mainland, including those initiated\nby the Civil Service Commission office, Essondale. This number of appointments constitutes an increase of 231 over the total of 1953. Table 16, attached, shows the distribution of these appointments by position classification. It is of interest to note that\ncompetition for appointments to non-technical and non-professional positions was very\nkeen, and on several occasions over 200 applications were received for one position.\nCompetition for technical and professional positions was less intense, but in most\ninstances it was adequate for recruiting purposes.\nDuring the past year all candidates for clerical and stenographic positions were\nsubjected to qualifying examinations. Unfortunately a continuous shortage of candidates\nmade the conduct of group examinations and the establishment of eligibility lists impractical, and instead continuous individual tests were administered in order that vacancies\ncould be filled with a minimum of delay. The following table provides a summary of\nthe examinations given during the year:\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nPassed Failed\nJunior Clerk 33 3\nClerk\u00E2\u0080\u0094Grade 1 59 4\nClerk-Typist 83f 14\n^ Stenographer\u00E2\u0080\u0094Grades 1 and 2 1 0j^ 10\nClerk-Stenographer _._,_ f 9\nSecretarial Stenographer 5\nTotals 278 31\nV^: Grand total, 309.\nDuring 1954 this office and the Mental Health Services office assisted the classifications officer by conducting twenty-eight investigations and surveys relative to position\nclassifications and organizational requirements, and continued to examine the duties of\npositions becoming vacant to determine if any change in classification should be made\nbefore they were refilled.\nThe closing during 1954 of the Mainland offices of the Hospital Insurance Service\nand the Jericho Tuberculosis Unit created a problem in respect to a transfer of staff, but\na current survey indicates that all redundant staff, with two or three exceptions, have been\nabsorbed satisfactorily into other positions. In addition, fourteen transfers of staff were\neffected because of compassionate grounds or service requirements.\nThe supervisory training courses carried out on the Mainland during 1954 concerned\nchiefly institutions of the Mental Health Services and Tuberculosis Control. Officials\nof both of these services have expressed appreciation of the instruction given, and it is\nrecommended that the courses be continued as intensively as possible.\n HH 20\nBRITISH COLUMBIA\nAPPENDIX\nSTATISTICS\nTable 1.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Enrolments in the Civil Service from 1953 to December 3 1st, 1954\n(Enrolments for 1954 exclude 578 casual employees.)\nYear Enrolment\n1933-34 1,424\n1934-35 1,484\n1935-36 1,541\n1936-3 7 1,607\n1937-38 1,718\n1938-39 1,889\n1939-40 1,941\n1940-41 1,951\n1941-42 1,851\n1942-43 1,822\n1943-44 2,018\nYear\n1944_45\t\nApr. 1, 1945, to Dec. 31, 1946\n1947\t\n1948\t\n1949\t\n1950\t\n1951\t\n1952\t\n1953 8,543\n1954 7,945\nEnrolment\n2,159\n4,664\n5,425\n6,417\n7,345\n7,694\n7,994\n8,543\nTable 2.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Appointments Made by the Civil Service Commission\nfrom 1953 to December 3 1st, 1954\nYear\nProbationary\nCasual\n1933-34\t\n1934-35\t\n1935-36 \u00E2\u0080\u009E\t\n1936-37\t\n1937-38\t\n193 8-39\t\n1939-40\t\n1940-41\t\n1941-42\t\n1942-43\t\n1943-44\t\n1944-45 ;\t\nApril 1st, 1945, to December 31st, 1946\n1947\t\n1948_\u00E2\u0080\u009E__ \t\n1949\t\n1950 ____\n1951\t\n1952 I\n1953\t\n1954 \t\n1,230\n984\n1,191\n1,417\n1,193\n1,149\n170\n248\n258\n279\n297\n328\n342\n356\n352\n474\n491\n547\n2,058\n2,048\n2,041i\n507\n441\n600\n673\n473\n533\nPermanent\n98\n85\n78\n104\n185\n133\n146\n121\n88\n173\n184\n155\n1,245\n815\n867\n370\n290\n339\n378\n390\n438\nTotal\n268\n333\n336\n383\n482\n461\n488\n477\n440\n647\n675\n702\n3,303\n2,863\n2,908\n2,107\n1,715\n2,130\n2,468\n2,056\n2,1202\ni Included in this number are 1,062 appointments of a probationary nature.\n2 Included in this total are 602 employees who terminated their service before December 31st, 1954.\n CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION REPORT\nHH 21\nTable 3.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Number of Civil Servants Enrolled in Departments of Government as at\nDecember 31st, 1954, according to Nature of Appointment and Sex\nDepartment\nPermanent\nMale Female Total\nPremier's Office\t\nAgriculture\t\nAttorney-General\nEducation -\nFinance\t\nFisheries \t\nHealth \t\nWelfare \t\nHospital Insurance _\nLabour \t\nLands -\nForests\t\nMines \t\nMunicipal Affairs \u00E2\u0080\u0094\nProvincial Secretary\nPublic Utilities\t\nPublic Works \t\nRailways \u00E2\u0080\u0094 \u00E2\u0080\u0094\nTrade and Industry\nTotals\t\n2\n94\n39\n262\n185\n145\n169\n375\n199\n4\n2\n330\n582\n146\n277\n94\n76\n46\n29\n255\n32\n547\n119\n52\n19\n19\n9\n982\n755\n25\n29\n844\n128\n6\n2\n35\n27\n4,261\n2,680 |\n1\n2\n133\n447\n314\n574\n6\n912\n423\n170\n75\n287\n666\n71\n28\n1,737\n54\n972\n8\n62\n6,941\nProbationary\nMale | Female | Total\n14\n16\n13\n23\n25\n10\n4\n22\n33\n1\n93\n1\n20\n279\n10\n31\n40\n64\n166\n52\n18\n8\n10\n45\n2\n1\n241\n8\n25\n725\n24\n47\n53\n87\n191\n62\n22\n8\n32\n78\n3\n1\n334\n9\n45\n8\n1,004\n108\n278\n158\n398\n4\n355\n156\n98\n46\n277\n580\n53\n19\n1,075\n26\n864\n6\n39\n4,540\nTotal\n2\n49\n216\n209\n263\n2\n748\n329\n94\n37\n42\n164\n21\n10\n996\n37\n153\n2\n31\n3,405\nMale I Female Total\n2\n157\n494\n367\n661\n6\n1,103\n485\n192\n83\n319\n744\n74\n29\n2,071\n63\n1,017\n8\n70\n7,945\nTable 4.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Number of Casual Employees Enrolled in Departments of Government\nas at December 31st, 1954, according to Sex\nDepartment\nMale\nFemale\nTotal\nAgriculture ...w. \t\nAttorney-General \t\nEducation \t\nFinance 1 ____ \t\n2\n9\n7\n16\n78\n23\n28\n6\n16\n48\n28\n1\n18\n27\n26\n92\n29\n16\n1\n2\n23\n2\n1\n68\n11\n3\n27\n34\n42\nHealth \t\nWelfare \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 _\nHospital Insurance _\t\nLabour\t\nLands.\nForests ....\n170\n52\n44\n1\n8\n39\nMines\t\n2\nMunicipal Affairs...\n1\nProvincial Secretary\nPublic Works \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\n116\n39\nTotals\t\n261\n317\n578\n _\n HH 22\nBRITISH COLUMBIA\nTable 5.
