MIR. Bryce, of the American Com

ing that the government of cities is
he one conspicuous failure of the
United States This statement should
not be too discouraging. For years
we have recognized the fact and have
been improving conditions steadily.
Years ago we began to realize that
the city was a business corporation,
rather than an integral part of the
state

6. The ideal government can be ap-
preached as nearly as the majority
of the people are able 10 appreciate
and understand it.
Clinton Roger Woodruff. a pioneer
IN the National Municipal League. has
stated: For policy we must select
for efficiency we must appoint" This
has been the difficult step 10 achieve
II means the breaking OF the politi-
cal hold on our political affairs, the
loosening of the grasp of the pro-
fessional politician, who stands for
efficiency in his ward and precinct
organization first and efficiency in
municipal affairs.
Training OF City Managers
"The fundamental training of the
city manager is the same as the
training of any manager of large af-
fairs To be a success he must of
course use common sense in his deal
lngs. both with the commission or
governing body and with the public.
HE does not have TO be an engi-
neer.
I'm many American cities any good
executive can be a good city man
ager.
"Cities desiring city managers
should select the one whose previous
training will best meet the require
ments of their community.
"A city manager should have at
least fair education, sufficient
theory, but not too much to over
balance common horse sense.
HE must be IAN executive.
HE must know how to handle men.
He must be fair and just.
"He must be firm but polite.
HE must have the courage OF his
convictions.
HE must have a pleasing, per
sonality.
ANY man of these qualifications
can be a city manager. Such a man
ean select subordinates and advisors
10 aid him in carrying out the func-
lions of those departments with
which he is not familiar in detail"
Tells OF COnstantinOpIe
Dr. Fisher exhibited a series of un-
usual and interesting slides, illustrat-
ing Constantinople and environments
and many of the men who occupied
leading places during the late war and
the period just preceding and follow
ing it.
As the pictures were shown, DR..
Fisher explained them and gave in
formation from the standpoint of one
in close touch with these events,
which was highly interesting and val
liable. Owing to the comparatively
short time at his disposal he was
not able to go into many details, but
he covered the subject in a general
way and shed much light on points
which are not generally understood.
The session of the club was UNI
doubtsdly one of the best which has
been held, and the attendance was
good. Ia
