Scope and Content Note

This series consists of forms in a "Civil Service Report for the Quarter" covering quarterly time periods ending June 3, 1890 through September 30, 1912 (actual appointment dates are April 17, 1890 - September 1, 1912). The volume profiles the workforce of the New York State Asylum for Idiots, the Syracuse State School for Feeble-Minded Children, and later the Syracuse State School for Mental Defectives.

Information is found under four categories: appointments, removals, deaths, and promotions. The name, position, date, and salary for each person working in a civil service item are listed under the appropriate category.

Several loose sheets found at the fore of the bound volume list similar information separately. One lists appointments since January 1, 1887, showing name, residence, employment, and date. Another, ca. 1896, lists classified service positions filed pursuant to Civil Service Rule XXII, showing position; name; date of original appointment; date of latest promotion or appointment; compensation; and whether temporary, permanent, or short term employee. A third group includes two letters dated 1920 concerning pension rights for employees seeking medical discharge. Finally, there is a 1924 list of candidates entitled to a pension for 25 or more years of service.
