Abstract
With the outbreak of hostilities in Europe in August 1914, hydrographic and ships' officers began enlisting in the armed forces, and by 1918 the regular staff had been reduced to onehalf of its pre-war strength.While on active service their positions were held in abeyance until their return to duty, and when overseas their salaries remained unchanged.What was not paid by the armed forces was supplemented from the hydrographic vote.In 1915 the auxiliary schooner Naden on the Pacific coast was laid up for the want of a crew, and in \9\6La Canadienne ended her charting days in the Great Lakes.To assist the Atlantic coast patrol of the Canadian navy, in 1917 the steamers Acadia, Bayfield and Carder were commandeered for the duration.The enforcement of the Military Service Act in 1917 further increased staff and labour problems, and in 1918 no hydrographic ships were in commission.An indication of the war trend from peacetime to wartime activity is reflected in the hydrographic vote in 1918, that only 40 per cent of the 1914 figure, and a close second to the all time low ($84,435, in 1908).In October 1916, an order-in-council was approved forbidding the appointment of government employees not exempt from military service.To maintain maximum support for the war effort, the recruitment of women was intensified, a policy that developed as the war progressed.In 1917 daylight saving time and federal income tax were introduced for the first time, and in December the Halifax explosion brought the first toll of war dead to the doors of the home front.In recognition of extra work, with a wartime classification, many civil servants were paid a small bonus until the end of the war.This bonus was applicable to technical personnel in the hydrographic survey, and it varied in range depending on the recipient's contribution and married status.A typical case in the survey was one officer-in charge receiving in 1919a bonus of $132 per annum, while his first and second assistants (both active servicemen) received bonuses of $320 and $420, respectively.Basic salary and bonus for the officer-in-charge was only $38 less than that of his first assistant -a staff anomaly that did not promise the best interests to all concerned.In keeping with election promises of December 1917, the government in 1918 authorized a general reorganization of its Civil Service Commission across Canada.By this amended Civil Service Act the Outside Service was brought under the commission's jurisdiction, ending for all times a half-century of staff inequalities and injustices.This was followed by a reclassification

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
