INSURANCE IN GERMANY
Mr. William Harbutt Dawson, in bis new book on " Social Insurance In Germany," gives the following utterance by Di Kaufmßnn, President of tho Imperial Insurance Department, on tbe general attitude of German employers to State insurance :— '"The cost of insurance has been willingly borne by tbe employers— even those for whom it was not easy; while those who have given personal service in the work of administering the accident and infirmity ' insurance schemes have readily and gladly discharged their often . laborious honorary duties. But the sacrifice of the employers has gone much farther. In a spirit of ' magnanimity many of them have voluntarily extended the provision for their workI people far beyond the requirements of I the law. _ This has been one of the happy incidents of the new legislation. ... Thus industrial insurance, which I opened up so 'many new ways, has proved in truth a socio-political school for the nation."
