brief address.
President Lowell of Harvard argued
strongly for permanent experts in the pub
lie service, his subject being Experts in
Democracy" He said in part:
The habit of frequent changes in public
office means administration by persons I'M
skilled in their duties: government by
amateurs. We need both the expert and
the lay elements and the latter may very
well take the form OF nonprofessional
heads to departments, provided they have
under them thoroughly competent perma-
nent experts.
We are slowly making progress In this
matter The scientific departments at
Washington are filled with men of the
highest attainment whom we may hope to
see retained In spite OF political oscilla-
tions
I'm one service. that OF education. we
nave seen marked change in the atti-
tude of the people towards their expert
officials. The administration Of the public
schools has become a profession and has
risen greatly in public respect
There is natural fear among the peo-
pie in a republic Of losing their power
and freedom under permanent officials.
We must learn not only to use permanent
officials, but also TO control them"

were as follows.
