The commerce of the port OF bansor
for 1917 has been the smallest in re-
ceipts for 80 years, or since the port
became of any Importance. The arri-
walls of merchant craft, not reckoning
the regular steamers, numbered f5S
schooners and l49 barges Not a for
eign arrival or departure has been re-
corded. The lumber shipments have
dwindled to very small amount with
the closing of the saw mills, only two
being in operation this season. Coal
receipts have made up the great bulk
of business, but the 90 ,0C0 tons re-
ceived is 1000 tons less than last year,
and 10000 less than in 1915. Much of
this coal is for railroad use and trans
shipment to manufacturing concerns.

to say concerning the need for such Il
school:
"NO man can manage n huSinc-S IN
less he has a thorough understanding
Of its nature. The man who manages
n city ought to be rs experienced aS
an engineer. or a teacher. Why can
not universities train men for maung-
ing cities as well as il can for other
professions? That is what we propose
20 do. The course Of study for train
ing city managers should be about one
half the ordinary classroom and lee
ture work and the rest laboratory in
vestigation into the actual needs of
