THE GERMAN cITY-ITs GOOD AND EVIL

man city. Beyond flower pots in the
windows, let US glance at the German
city on the inside.
The German city does not govern
itself-it is governed True it elects
its own town council. which, in turn,
selects the burgomaster or mayor, and
has general control of municipal af-
fairs. The electors, however, are di-
vided into voting groups, according
to wealth, by which the man of aver
age property has only small part in
the election. Somewhat different suf-
frage systems exist in the different
German states. Indeed, it should be
remembered in observations upon Ger
many that not only is there an old and
a new Germany, but northern and
a southern Germany, Prussia, a Ba-
varia, a Saxony, Baden, and in the
differences between them, though not
the distances, are equally as large as
and in many ways larger than those
between Pennsylvania and Texas,
Massachusetts and California. Ger
many, however, with all its internal
differences of social and administra-
ton life, has been called, with much
appropriateness, magnified Prussia.
Voting Strength Gagged by Wealth.
The method of electing town coun-
cillors in the cities of Prussia may
serve as an illustration Of how the
people of these cities do not govern
themselves. In each voting district
the total of the state tax paid is di-
vided into three parts and the voters,
all males of twenty-five years Of age
and upwards, are also divided into
three classes, each class electing one
third of the council The first class
consists of the heaviest taxpayers,
whose payments total one-third Of the
whole sum of the district; the second
class consists of the next heaviest tax
payers, whose taxes also amount to a
third of the total; while the third
class consists of the smallest taxpay-
ers. The first class sometimes has
only one or two voters in it, the Sec
ond only few, while the third will
have several hundred or even thou
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1914-03-11

sands. Each class has, however, the
same voting strength. This gives, of
course, to the heavy taxpayers many
times the voting strength of the small
taxpayer.
A Berlin newspaper, in pointing out
some results Of this three-class sys-
tenn. showed that in one voting dis
trict one taxpayer with an annual In
come of $4,000 was the entire first
class; in an adjoining and very poor
district ten men, whose taxes were
only SIS each, constituted the first
class, and added that if the Berliner
with the $4,000 income had voted in
the rich Thiergarten quarter he
would have been in the third class,
like the imperial chancellor, Herr Won
Bethmann Hollweg." Actually there
are 100000 voters in the first class,
100000 In the second, and more than
100000 in the third If the suffrage
system of Prussia prevailed in the
United States, Andrew Carnegie, John
D. Rockefeller and others would in
their respective districts, constitute
the entlr0 nrSC class.
Councillors High-cIass Men.
Whatever criticism may be made
Of this electoral system from other
viewpoints, it has resulted, generally,
in electing to the position of town
councillors high-class and public-spir-
tied men. This evil has attached to it,
however, that the men thus chosen
have reflected too often and too ex-
clusively the wishes and interests of
their rich constituents. The new Ger
man city, as made or permitted by
them-if anything is really officially
permitte5 III Germany-is too largely
an ar stocratic municipality rather
than q democratic community, for
show to the few rather than for use
by the many.
Public service, giving, as it does
in Germany, a coveted social position,
attracts many Germans of the highest
character. The call to civic duty is
one which no German refuses. The
law which Furnishes with a fine any
person declining to accept the office
OF councillor after election Is said to
have proved unnecessary. Germans

Immigrants KeenIy Interested in
ChiIdren'S Schooling.
Foreigners conspicuousIy Obedient to
School Attendance Laws Says U.
S. Commissioners of Education
DR.. p. P. CIaxton.

Washington.-That immigrants are
keenly interested in schooling for their
children, or at least conspieuously ODE
dent to school-attendance laws, is the
declaration of DR.. P. P. Claxton, Unit
ed States commissioner of education.
'The least illiterate of our population
are the native-born children of for
eign parents" says Doctor Claxton, in
a bulletin on education for immigrants
just issued. "The illiteracy among the
children of native-born parents is
three times as great as that among
natiye-born children of foreign pa
rents"
Doctor Claxton reviews the whole
problem of education for immigrants,
in and out of school. ITO the people
of no other country is the problem OF
so much Importance as to the people
of the United States. No other coun-
try has SO many men, women and chill
dren coming to its shores every year
from all parts of the world.

US in recent years are from countries

London.-Spelling reform is being
discussed again. William Archer, in
the course Of recent speech, de-
clared there is not a single letter In
the English language to which only
one sound is attached, nor is there a
sound which is represented by only
one letter.

stiff In architectural design, are spa
cious and impressive.
Peoples Food Carefully Supervised.
The German lives much in the
open air. We find the gardens in the
modern cities, even in weather that
seems unreasonable, thronged. There
Is much drinking of beer, but little
antoxication, much festivity, but little
tboisterousness. The German is care
full though comprehensive in his eat
ing. The German city provides mu-
nic1pal slaughter houses, where meat
IS prepared for sale under strict regu-
aation against faint; open air and
covered market halls, where fresh veg
etables, fish, poultry and other food
products are sold; and has ceaseless
supervision of bakeries, diaries and
breweries. In Berlin and some other
cities the meat from the slaughter
house is stamped, 'unbednigt tang
iich"-free of all possible faint. The
city arranges for the sale of other
meat, not thus free from faint, but
which can be used for food without
danger to health, at municipal estab-
Tishments called the Fret Banke,"
where it is bought at low prices and
at certain fixed hours by the poor.
The German loves music and the
theater and so the German city pro-
vides municipal opera houses where
the best artists may be heard, often
at prices within the reach of the poor
.est-paid laborer.
Cities Deal In Real Estate.
The German city provides public
baths and disinfecting establishments.
1t owns its own street cars. Berlin
is a notable example, but in Berlin
a heavy tax on the gross receipts of
the street-car system is levied. 1t
buys and holds tracts of land in and
adjacent to the city for the construc-
ton Of houses for business or resi-
dence purposes, sells or leases this
land and thus controls the growth and
development OF the city itself. This
last function of the German city is
responsible for much of the best re-
suits of the municipal town planning
and house planning in the empire.
These are some features OF the Ger

have contributed to the recent growth
of some German cities. The majority,
however, machine-made as other fac
tory products, are the results of an
industrialism which tends everywhere
to urbanization. Examples of the old
Germany may yet be seen in the an
cient quarters Of Munich, Nuremburg,
Frankfort and other towns, but for
these one may look in vain along the
boulevards and in the modern sections
of cities which have grown to great
ness in the present generation. These
are the cities of the new Germany.
Upon their stucco the paint is hardly
dry.
outwardly Attractive.
There are two sides to the German
city-the outside and the inside. The
outside is ordinarily beautiful and
attractive. The boulevards are broad
and airy; the open places are many
and artistic; the streets are well
paved and are clean-usually by wom-
en- sweepers; the lighting, excellent;
the sanitation, good; cathedrals are
stately, and the older ones, at least,
picturesque; the newer public build
hgs, though often coldly regular and

having very meager provisions for
public education. According to the
federal census of 1910, more than rs
per cent. Of the foreign-born popula-
ton of three states was illiterate,
from 15 to % per cent. of five states
from 10 to Is per cent. of II states,
and from five to ten per cent. of ri
states.
Most of the immigrants in recent
years have little kinship with the old
er stocks of our population, either in
blood, language, methods Of thought,
traditions, manners or customs; they
know little of our political and civic
life, and are unused to our social
ideals; their environment here is
wholly different from that to which
they have been accustomed. Strang-
ers to each other, frequently from
countries hostile to each other by ira
dition, of different speech and creeds
they are thrown together, strangers
among strangers, in a strange country
and are thought of by us only as
cOngIOmerat0 mass or Foreigners
Immigrant education Is not alone
the question of the school education
of children. The millions of adult
men and women, and of children older
than the upper limit Of the compulsory
school-attendance age, must be looked
after; they must be prepared for
American citizenship and for partici-
patton in our democratic industrial,
social and religious life; they must
be given sympathetic help in finding
themselves in their new environments
and in adjusting themselves to their
new opportunities and responsibilities
The proper education Of these people
is a duty, which the nation owes TO
itself and to them. 1t can neglect this
duty only to their hurt and its OWL
peril"
