TABLE 8.-Showing the apportionment of appointments in the Departmental Service at Washington, D. C., from July 16, 1883, to June 30, 1909. [The States and Territories are named in relative order according to the number of appointments they have received in proportion to their population, under the census of 1900, the first named having received the smallest number of appointments in proportion to its population, and so on.] a In 1897 the Commission began the practice of crediting separations of employees to the States charged with their appointments; and during the present fiscal year the apportionment was relieved of charges due to persons appointed between 1883 and 1897, and separated before the latter date. This makes the net number of appointments charged on June 30, 1909, smaller than the number charged on June 30, 1908. TABLE 9.-Showing the number of appointments made from the different kinds of educational examinations to the Departmental Service, exclusive of the Railway Mail and Indian services, from July 16, 1883, to June 30, 1901, and in each subsequent year to June 30, 1909.
