Though American universities cove,
a wide field of Instruction In human
i knowledge it is oeglnnlng to be real
i li;ed that facilities should be afforded
for educating young men In the science
: of good government, not only through
uook-iearnlhg, but through oomlng
into relation with the actual business.:
New York city has long been re
garded as something of a warning to
other American cities In mls-govern
tnent and municipal abuses, but It Is
today the sea1 ui more corrective ac-1
tivlty than any other American city, t
1 he abuses political plundering
brought about insistent demands lor
honest men In public life, but It was
discovered that it requires more than
incorruptibility and Intelligence ti
make an efficient public official, and
.nut the losses by honest Incompetence
"'ere nearly as groat as by cunning
.uid dishonest greed. It has thus been1
made very plain that public admin
istration is a business requiring spe
cial preparation and specific training
as well as common honesty.
The New lurk bureau of municipal;
'icsearch located leakages lu public
expenditures and pointed out the weak
places, and out of its preliminary work
lias grown the demand for education
facilities for the training of public of
: lidais.
A training school initiated by Mrs.
1£. H. Harrinmn, in New York, has
1 been very successful, and its graduates
are in great demand and obtain ex
cellent positions. Some of the unl
■, eisltlea about the country are taking
up tiie work and in time we shall have
a body of men educated for efficient
public service.

a free city and free port. By this 1

duit he ' dealt square” by leaving to hit i
divorced wife all but the amount leg
ally due his second wife as her dower.
.io said that the first wile helped him
make 1.1s fortune, and that she was
.ntitled to It when he was gone. He
us right. No disagreement between
i-iietn which led to their separation do-'
prived her of her moral claim to the
estate which had been accumulated
with her assistance. The case might
have been dlffeent if she had been
merely a social butterfly, spending his
money for her own pleasure. But she
seems to have been a thrifty woman,
who knew the value of a dollar aud
