列克星敦Uses Merit for Promotions
MERIT ALONE is the basis for promotion in the Lexington, Ky., Fire Department. It is used in a system which Chief Earl R. McDaniel describes as a great morale builder, a stimulant to ambition, and the fairest method known today for making promotions.
At the time a probationary fireman enters the job he is assigned a number and a personnel file which he carries throughout his career. In addition to other pertinent data, the file contains grade sheets on which his progress and marks are entered in a continuing training and rating program that carries right through until his retirement. Contents of this file are an important factor in promotion examinations, and therefore contribute greatly to the efficiency of the Lexington Fire Department as a whole.
