Over 1000 were present last night at the Copley theater in Boston at exercises in honor of the 18th anni- versary of the founding of Boston College.

J., president of the college, Cardinal O'Connell, who was grad uated from the college ill 1881, is at the present time at Nassau and was represented last night by Rev Francis L. Phelan, '13. Many noted graduates were present, including the oldest alumnus, Rev. Daniel C. Riordan, '79. pastor of St. Patrick $ church in Watertown, Mass.

nobody because it was political and inefficient, and full of red tape. We established a merit sys- tenn and tried to educate the peo- pie to an understanding of what the merit system meant in terms of better service to the public, which is what the public is interested in. As it has worked out 40 per cent of the employees of the city in 1926, when the system was established, are still employed by the city. They were the key people in all departments and under merit system they are able to devote their full time to their rightful duties. The public has seen that and appreciates it and votes for lit.
 Tt has been said that you must have the patronage system, not the merit system, in order to assure the smooth working of the two-party system of government. In England they have been getting along with out the patronage system since 1850, and they have developed par ty loyalty there to an amazing de- gree without the system. In this country it has been repeatedly demonstrated that you can't de- pend on the patronage system to deliver the vote in a close election.
 City Manager Plan
 "The city manager plan as worked out in Cincinnati consists of an executive who handles the business of the city and hires and fires his workers in all departments. He is backed by a council of nine members made up on the proportional repre- sentation plan. One member of this council becomes the mayor, with very little power We do not claim that this system is perfect, or has worked perfectly.
 We have made a start toward housing, we have more parks and playgrounds, adult education projects, and the like, which the people rec ognize as being furnished by their city government. We have kept our tax rate at a definite level by a system of five-year planning. We have ended each year with balance in the treasury, and this year where other cities are feeling the pinch of poor business. our city has enough money for relief until well into the fall. Best of ali we have established continuity of government. and everybody, including the major po- litical parties, support it.
 Simplicity Desired
 People tend to like something simple and familiar and good gov ernment group has to supply that just as the major parties have sup piled 1t. You have to be something of a snowman, and you have to be always on your toes to overcome the indifference of the average citizen. You have to find new causes to fight for, something to keep yourself be- fore the public"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-02-23

Merit System
 He was introduced by Frederick s. Chase, president of the Chase Brass and Copper Company and Louis A. Walsh, past president of the Rotary Club presided at the luncheon. MT. Taft said, in part:
 "You cannot get a merit system by talking about, or by setting one up and then letting it run itself. You have to support it. The best basis for a merit system is an amendment to the state constitution. The next best base is state law which makes the establishment of a merit system optional in any par ticular city"
 "Whatever you undertake in the way of better government, you must remember that the ultimate objective is better living for every body, that government is only a means to that end. And not only must you produce good govern ment, but you must produce 1t Ill such a way that the man in the street understands it. A good gov ernment group, like any other, is de- pendent on votes for its success, so that you must translate good, effi- cient public service into terms that hit everybody.
