The University And Our Municipal
Problem.

In this age when not only every
large city but also every smaller cen
ter of population even down to the
village has many complex municipal
problems to meet and solve the study
of local administration is becoming
more and more a necessity. The news
papers and magazines of the country,
though often exaggerating as to de-
tails, bring home to US the great truth
that mismanagement, both willful and
ignorant, has in recent years en- the
shame of American cities to the dis
grace and great financial loss of the
property owner. In Oklahoma where
the towns are new and municipal i'm
provements with consequent high
taxes and vexing problems are many,
the study of local administration is
even more imperative than in other To-
calities. The complaints of cities and
towns mulcted by dishonest franchise
holders or sunk deep in debt by muni-
cipal mismanagement have been by
no means infrequent of late in our
own Commonwealth. The state uni
versity is especially attempting to
graduate men trained to handle NUM-
cipal affairs properly To aid as it
can in relieving immediate conditions
it is sending out under the auspices of
the university extension bureau men,
bers of the faculty who are specialists
in their work, to lecture to civic bodies
on these questions. In order to make
the benefits derived as widespread as
possible the university charges only
for the calfare and hotel bills of the
lectures on municipal problems and
their subjects show the work the state
school is doing along this important
line:
