UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN SAYS SCHOOLS SHOULD TEACH CITY MANAGERS Dean Blackmar Sees Hopes in Commission Form if University Trains Men A state law requiring efficient city managers and the establishment of courses in all universities to fit men for these positions are deemed necessary, he added, by a form of government by Prof. F. W. Blackmar of the University of Kansas. He also advocates the election of a commission which will serve the city management. A general way supervision the work of the hired manager. Dean Blackmar says; "The city manager plan of government will fail like other methods of popular government unless we can have experts to fill the position of manager. Eventually I believe this will be as much a profession as engineering, medicine, or law, and a person will not be chosen for such a position until he has the requisite preparation. He will still take a tremendous amount of education to convince the people on this point, even though a number of cities have already begun to experiment with the municipal manager plan. "Certainly a man cannot manage a business without having a thorough understanding of its nature. A city manager ought to understand sanitary engineering, sufficient civil and constructive engineering to know what constitutes a good water system; sidewalk, and how to build them; what housing facilities are sewage system and how to construct it; what constitutes a good water system and how to maintain it; a general knowledge of methods of lighting and transportation and other public utilities; and a good knowledge of government and business administration. He should know municipal law and the administration of the principles of the government applied to the population; a knowledge of civil government and the administration of the city as it relates to public welfare. "In brief, he must know thoroughly the physical structure of the city and how to build it and maintain it, the political and social organization of the city and their administration, the population so that he may can survive, since it is the function of municipal administration to care not only for the physical plant, but for the whole population. And the administrator must know how to manage all of this information and economy. There must be no waste in the logical administration or through the by-products of social activity. "Evidently men with such qualifications are not now available. The two things that would make them available would be a law requiring efficiency, which would increase the demand for such candidates, and the number of universities and schools giving people appropriate efficiency. Plainly the university should take the initiative in this matter of planning courses for the training of municipal managers as well as other positions requiring expert administration. A specific course of instruction involving all the subjects named above together with a required history work in the actual study of municipal education should be placed in every university. By so doing we may help to extricate modern reforms from their present chaotic conditions." Just received a letter from Haley. Says his orchestra is "Setting Purty" for the Hop—Adv.

The Engineers' big day closed with the dance in the Gym Friday night, when over one hundred couples danced to the strains of Halley's orchestra at a clock room in the school. School were represented in the decoration scheme. The civils had two tents erected in the west end of the hall, in which punch was served. The electricals had an original decoration, in a sign that read "E. E. Exposition." Lighted up one letter at a time and then flashed off and on intermittently. In addition to this they had a rose covered retreat, furnished with a table, student lamp and electric lighting. They also planned for furnishing the light for the evening which they generated by means of a water fall. The architects contributed to the decorations with their dainty pergola of Doric wood. A wall made such a hit in the parade because of its artistic appearance. CORNELL RUNS DINING HALLS Has Three Now and is Building Another One other One From the Chicago Herald. Ihaca, N.
