CIVIL SERVANTS
"Why should jit Wei iregardefj as wasteful or extraordinary to second a Civil (Servant on fulll pay 1 for a special course*—te.g., va. statistics or currency and banking, or federalism for that matter—if by this special course he were made efficient for a specific and necessary part of his duties as am. administrator? It was high time some wtindows should be opened in the Olympian storiß3 of Whitehall, and some vicious notions of so-called 'economy' be once and for all 'expeilied. To day public servants could iihfei sent to schools of gunnery, or of tropicall medicine supported by pubfflic fund's; but where in our universities were the schools of administration, with their trained staffs, engage!;! in the' scientific study of the problems and the material of administration? The institute and the universities should unite 'in pressing this vital need on our administrative lords and masters." — Principal Robertson, in the London ''Daily Telegraph."
