Book excerpt: Excerpt from Important State Council Work: Functions The President of the United States has written to the Secretary of War, suggesting that he communicate with the heads of all Federal Departments and Administrations the wish of the President, that when they are considering extension of their organization in the States, or new work to be done in the States, they determine carefully whether they can not utilize the State Council system, thus rendering unnecessary the creation of new machinery, and that they transmit all requests for action by the State Councils through the Council of National Defense.

This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Administration of Schools in the Smaller Cities The usual method of choosing school board members is election at large. In 417, or per cent, of the 516 cities reporting, the board is elected by the people; and in 99, or per cent, it is appointed by the mayor, city council, or commission. Of the 99 boards appointed, 32 are appointed by the mayor and 67 by the council or commission. Most of the States having general laws regarding the method Of choosing city school boards provide for election by the people. (see p. Students of school administration almost without exception favor an elec tive board, especially in the smaller cities. They say that appointment by the mayor or city council places the schools too far away from the people, and that the people take more interest in the schools if they elect the board. It is pointed out that in some cities where boards are appointed the mayor or the members of the city council control the schools to a very great degree, so' that anyone seeking an appointment or a contract needs only to Obtain the approval of the mayor or the members of the council. In brief, an appointive board is too often the tool of the mayor or council, many times not working for the inter est Of the schools but for the interest of party. If the council appoints, there is temptation on the part of its individual members to dictate policies to the school board and to influence it to elect such janitors and teachers as they may suggest. In other words, appointment by either the mayor or city council tends to entangle the schools in petty city and ward politics.

Download or read book Council Government Versus Mayor Government Classic Reprint written by Edward Dana Durand and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Council Government Versus Mayor Government We are first of all confronted with the argument from our own municipal experience. We are told that the American city council has proved itself in practice unfit to be trusted. Its powers have been taken away only because it has abused them. Whatever methods of election or of organization have been tried, it has been found impossible to secure good council men. The system of council rule worked well enough in the early days, with simple administrative problems and a compara tively high qualification for the electorate. But with the intro duction of universal suffrage, the influx of foreign immigrants, the intrusion of party politics and the growth of municipal functions, the system broke down completely. These state ments are usually made as if they were self-evident common places of history. Seldom is any detailed study brought to their support. But historical evidence must be handled with the greatest care in order to be conclusive. Failure rightly to analyze causes and effects and to take account of differences in conditions is apt to vitiate our reasoning. Not yet have we suflicient knowledge of municipal history or suflicient outlook into the future to justify dogmatic conclusions as to the relative success of council rule and mayor rule. A few considerations may be presented, however, which show how comparatively weak is this argument in favor of the mayor system from our experience in city government.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of American State Administration It has often been remarked that, in recent times, constitu tional questions, which formerly held the front of the stage, have moved to the background, and problems of administration have become increasingly more prominent and urgent. Public attention is today being directed to the administrative side of government to a greater extent than ever before. It is now realized that efficient administration, formerly considered more appropriate to monarchical governments, is no less essen tial to a democratic government and is, indeed, intimately con nected with the furtherance of true democracy. Acquaintance with the administrative activities of the American state gov ernments is of peculiar importance to every citizen of the forty-eight commonwealths, since they constantly afiect his life and well-being at manifold and vital points.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from District Councils: A Concise Guide to Their Powers and Duties MY object in compiling the following pages has been to compress into as small a space as practicable the multifarious powers and duties of a district council as the sanitary, highway, and local government authority. The book will, I hope, form a concise guide for the use of members and officers of district councils, and also serve the purpose of a convenient reference for members of the legal profession. The subjects are arranged in alphabetical order, which is, perhaps, the most convenient form in a work of this kind; and, as far as possible, kindred {subjects'have been grouped under one heading. Two matters with which I have dealt very briefly are the powers and duties of a district council (a) under the Unemployed Workmen Act, 1905, and (b) when in the position of a local education authority under the Education Act, 1902. The Unemployed Workmen Act will expire this year unless given a fresh lease of life by the Legislature; and the law of education is too large and special a subject to come within the scope of such a book as this.

Download or read book The State s Provisions for Higher Education written by University Of Montana and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The State's Provisions for Higher Education: January 19, 1942 The four institutions of higher education were all opened within three or four years after their establishment, Each was under the control of a local executive board, under the general supervision of the state board of education. In 1909, the powers of the local executive boards were more closely defined and the state board of education assumed more power. In 1915, the four institutions of higher education were combined into the University of Montana, under the executive control of an officer, titled chancellor. This officer was appointed in 1915, and opened the chancellor's office in 1916. However, the local executive boards were retained, and still exist, even though their functions were taken from them. In 1953, legislative appropriation for the posi tion of chancellor was discontinued and the office of the chancellor was left in charge of the executive secretary, who had worked in the central office under the chancellor. Still later, the office of the executive secretary became vacant, and an office employe became acting executive secretary. The presidents now serve directly under the state board of education and for matters of common con cern the presidents form a council to advise the board. In 1927, the legislative assembly established Eastern Montana Normal School. This school was located by the state board of education at Billings.

Download or read book The Power of Print in Modern China written by Robert Culp and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amid early twentieth-century China’s epochal shifts, a vital and prolific commercial publishing industry emerged. Recruiting late Qing literati, foreign-trained academics, and recent graduates of the modernized school system to work as authors and editors, publishers produced textbooks, reference books, book series, and reprints of classical texts in large quantities at a significant profit. Work for major publishers provided a living to many Chinese intellectuals and offered them a platform to transform Chinese cultural life. In The Power of Print in Modern China, Robert Culp explores the world of commercial publishing to offer a new perspective on modern China’s cultural transformations. Culp examines China’s largest and most influential publishing companies—Commercial Press, Zhonghua Book Company, and World Book Company—during the late Qing and Republican periods and into the early years of the People’s Republic. He reconstructs editors’ cultural activities and work lives as a lens onto the role of intellectuals in cultural change. Examining China’s distinct modes of industrial publishing, Culp explains the emergence of the modern Chinese intellectual through commercial and industrial processes rather than solely through political revolution and social movements. An original account of Chinese intellectual and cultural history as well as global book history, The Power of Print in Modern China illuminates the production of new forms of knowledge and culture in the twentieth century.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Shop Council The principle of general arbitration, as applicable to the settle ment of labor disputes, has been widely and intelligently dis cussed and the advantages claimed for it are well understood. It has been presented for the consideration of employers and wage-earners in many aspects, but has not met with very cor dial acceptance. Its satisfactory application in adjusting the differences constantly arising in the industries is attended with many and serious practical difficulties. The greatest of these result from the fact that neither party to a labor dispute is often willing to surrender the right to decide the issue and enforce its own decision.

Download or read book Report on War Chest Practice written by Henry M. Wriston and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-06 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on War Chest Practice: Presented to Connecticut State Council of Defense The following report on the subject of war chest practice is the result of long interest and study and of something over two months exclusive application to the problem. The subject, however, is so large that even that amount of time has meant that the work has been done under great pressure and in haste. It would have been impossible but for the helpful and courteous cooperation of a number of people. It was the intention to acknowledge their help by name but the list has grown so long that none could be mentioned without distinctions that would be unfortunate. The writer wishes therefore to make, at once, acknowledgment to the officials of a large number of war chests, to the officers of the Fosdick Commission, the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A., the War Camp Community Service, and to many others who have given a great deal of assistance. Under the circumstances of its preparation, this report unquestionably has many mistakes and many more failures properly to evaluate individual features adopted by various cities. It is hoped, however, that the broad lines of war chest practice are accurately drawn and that the conclusions are not without some warrant in the evidence collected. For purposes of uniformity the city or town name has been used almost invariably rather than the name of the county, because it is more readily located in that way by most readers.
