Remarkable Transformations Make Research Bureau Work Valuable Aid to Child Welfare
George, age 11, had no real father and mother, but lived in the central part with his foster parents—an aged couple who were very kind to him in their own way.
He was a quiet, frail, nervous child with a depressed unhappy expression and his schoolmates thought him queer. His attempts to play with other children ended in quarrel. Finally he was excluded from school
—incorrigibility being set down as the reason.
A visiting nurse brought him to the Kannas Bureau of Child Research, directed by Dr. Florence Fletcher, Dr. Steven George. George was found to be en
John Stutz Talks to Chanute Club on Manager Plan
Scheme Makes Municipa Head Administrative Pace-Setter of
City
"The city manager plan of city government has, as a rule, given satisfactory public service at a satisfactory unit cost," said John G. Stuzzi of the Reference Bureau in an address to thekwani Club of Charute last evening.
A city manager is a pace-setter or city administration. A competent manager will be interested solely in giving the best service at the least possible unit cost. It is his business to know what constitutes good public service and what unit of cost is reasonable," said Mr. Stutz.
"The city manager does not patch the street, haul the garbage, fix the lights and drain the water away for a vote in the next election," continued Mr. Stutz. "Under the city manager the city becomes a model employer. The city's employees deliver a day's work for a day's pay."
"Probably the most promising thing for the City Manager plan is the fact that now more and more cities are adopting it in order to get a more efficient, and responsive administration of their public business and welfare, instead of adopting it in order to break a political grim."
In conclusion Mr. Stutz said, "By means of the City Manager plan the tax burden is stabilized, bond issues are resolved, and important protections are constructed in the most approved manner at reasonable prizes. In brief, by the City Manager plan, public confidence is stimulated and public and private business grows."
Prof. Wants Truth Rough as It May Be
"Grade the Profs" was the battlery of the Black Mask party at last election. A plank based upon this statement occupied a prominent place in the Black Mask platform. "If the profs grade us, we ought to have a chance to grade them and their courses," ran the argument.
And now such a thing has come to pass, Edmund P. Learned, instructor in economics, announced to the students of his geography yesterday that he would give a "Black Mask quiz" next Monday. Students taking the course will be given the opportunity to tell what you learned of both Mr. Learned and the course.
"I And I want the truth, rough as it may be," said Mr. Learned. "Don't try to fatter me, thinking you'll get a good grade; that been tried before. Tell the truth and I'll read to you some of the most severe statements at the next meeting of the class, Wednesday."
As no names need to be signed to the "quiz" papers, and as Mr. Learned says, he doesn't know the handwriting of any in the class, it is predicted that Wednesday's session of the class will be interesting.
