coMMENos CITY MANAGER PLAN.
(Outlook.)

In an article in the National Munlci- pal Review Richard s. Childs, the chairman of the National Municipal Leagues committee on the commission plan of government for cities, replies to the question, How is the commission manager plan getting on? in the words "very nicely, thank you"
 The idea began to be put in effect less than three years ago. Today nine teen cities have city managers and others are to have them. Dayton, O.. is the largest and pays its manager the largest salary, $12,500. Twelve of the cities have less than 12,000 popula- tior The populations vary from 1924 tc 116,577
 Pears that local politics would inter fere in the choice of the best available expert in municipal management have proved groundless. and a surprising thing is that almost all of the man. agers chosen have been from out of town--obtained by advertising and

CEASAR IN ENGLAND.
Indianapolis News.)

The exact date upon which Julius Caesar landed on the shore sof Britain was definitely determined few years ago, and Sunday, August 27. 55 B. C., has been set down as the day of that important event. Caesar himself tells that he set out on this expedition from Boulogne at midnight with 5000 men in transports, besides a few swift moving war galleys or triremes, and arrived at d point In the forenoon He said that but little of summer remained and the people were engaged in the harvest, and that he returned three weeks later, just before the equinox. He further says that the full moon oc- cured on the fourth day after his landing The full moon of August in htat year is ascertained from astron- omical tables to have been at a. m. of the 31st so that Caesar landed on the 27th. It has been determined that he landed near place now called Romney, that name having been allied to the place in commemoration of It's having been the site of the firts Ro- man encampment on British soil.

4 NEW HEART IN ENGLAND.
tNew Republic.)


 1t has d literal fact that millions of ,len and women who twelve months ago were at a loose end and living aim less lives, have now discovered that ,.,,y have a mission. Cases are known to the present writer which might be described as veritable conversions. But the whole temper of society is affected by the presence in it's midst of so many people to whom a vocation has come at last and the change is in the direc- ton of mental steadiness and equi- librium. To that extent 1t may be ciamed that we are happier than we were. 1t would be serious mistake, in any event. to suppose We are all sddder than we were before the war. No doubt the streets are less brilliant, the hotels less crowded, the noise less obstrusLiVe But the individual is not more gloomy He is brighter; more cheerful

scrutinizng records. just as a good
 bushes firm might do It is reported that the plan "sems to have increased service without correspondingly in creased expense Often the manager
 having control of all departments of city work. can utilize one department to help another, as in Sumter, where the manager refused to buy shovels for street work when the water depart ment had plenty of idle shovels Again, Highly typical of the new spirit is the failure to fill the office of director of public safety at Dayton and Spring field It was a charter position, but not altogether necessary, inasmuch as the fire and police departments are al- ready unified and require little over head coordination. How long would such an exempt position, with it's good salary, have remained vacant under the old regime?"
 The plan is still in the experimental stage. In some cases, at least, and es- pecially in small towns, the manager system seems to fit the case exactly.
 It is not "one- mar n government" be- cause the commission hires and over sees the manager.

The Americans are country of much interest. They are famous for their baseball and dancing. Turks.
