library must have above all things else
administrative ability-the same kind of a
man who Is to manage the property or IN
terest of any large corporation, is to han
die large funds, is to manage a large
force of employees; such a one should have
administrative capacity. 1t is as much re-
quired in library as anywhere else.
When you have a department that has so
many people there is need of an adminis-
trative officer who shall have superior ex-
ecutive ability and efficiency. 1 do not be-
lieve that your chief administrative officer,
attending properly to the business prob
lens of the library, need be profound
photographer or need to know the most
of all the persons in the library, as to
what the library contains. 1 should re-
gard him as bearing a relation to the IL
brary something similar to that correspond
ing to, or borne by, the president of a uni
versity to the several departments of that
university.
Il take 1t that President Eliot would say
that ne does not know as much about Greek
as the chief of that department or of Latin
as the chief of that department or about
chemistry as the chief of that department.
l should doubt if President Low would say
that he stood as a specialist with reference
10 any department of work undertaken by
the University of Columbia I presume that
the modern college president considers that
MS chief function is to secure the best men
for each department, and to administer on
large scale this business. and see that the
business Is conducted properly, and to Sc
cure great efficiency, and, more especially
at the beginning, to consider and determine
the scope of the work to be undertaken, to
form plans on a large scale which might
serve as recommendations to the committee
board OF trustees-with reference to the
larger service to be rendered. / don't saw a
knowledge of specialties in addition to these
capacities would be inconsistent with them,
but II seems to me that those capacities are
undoubtedly necessary, and that the chief
executive must have them pre-eminently.'

attorney subsequently informed them that
they bad nothing TO do with making such
contracts. the clothing being paid for by
the men The Commissioners, therefore.
finally referred the whole matter to the
chiefs of the two departments without
either approving the reports of the two ex-
amining committees or their attorneys sug-
gestfon that the contracts be entered into.
Capt. Austin and his associates on the
committee said to represent the police de-
partment recommended that the contract
for the police uniforms be awarded TO the
Baltimore firm at price higher than that
offered by local firm while six foremen
selected by Chief Paris of the fire de-
partment chose a sample of clothing on
which the Baltimore firm bid lowest. al
though had the cloth offered by the local
firm been selected that firm would have
been the lowest bidder.
The contract for the police uniforms
amounts, 1t is said. to about $4,000. while
that for the firemen's clothing represents
about $1,000. But, as has been heretofore
explained in The Star, the members of the
TWO departments are at liberty to purchase
the clothing from any person from whom
they may see fit. the only obligation being
that the uniforms must meet the require
ments of the regulations of the respective
departments.
In view of the statements made by MEM
bers of both the police force and the fire
department, that the examining commit
tees did not really represent them in the
matter, il is said one or more firms here
will agree to furnish uniforms at such
terms as will make 1t desirable to purchase
them here. In this connection it is stated
that not a member of either of the exam
lining committees is practical tailor. while
the six f1remen chosen by Chief Paris of
the fire department to select the clothing
are given the following respective voca-
tfons in a report of the chief of the depart
ment: Timer, blacksmith laborer, stone
cutter, miller and mariner.
