Extract

The term “administration,” as used in a federal government bureau, may have either of two definitions. It may refer to the activities of bureau chiefs, division chiefs, and regional directors. Or it may mean the work of the bureau executive officer and employees with similar duties in the bureau. When the term is used by the employees of the bureau or by the personnel classification division of the Civil Service Commission, nine times out of ten it is the latter connotation that is given it.
