Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from National Municipal Review, Vol. 14: January, 1925 If democracy is to reach its maximum efficiency and the forces of intelligence and humanity are to triumph over the drift of things, it is clear that all administrative officials and all those who work on the firing line of the advancing army should have at their command the results of the world´s experience in their respective spheres and salients. To vary the figure, the white light of science, fed from all channels of research and experiment, should burn continuously before the door of each one who stands and serves. It makes no difference whether it is a mayor confronted by baffling problems of finance, the bacteriologist of a mayor confronted by baffling problems of finance, the bacteriologist of a water department poring over his test tube, or the matron of a home for wayward girls wrestling with the perplexities of psychiatry. The ideal would be reached if all the accumulated wisdom of the world could be focused to meet the instant need of things. Mankind is groping in the direction of that ideal - slowly and in a blundering fashion - and those who watch the Alpine glacier through a term of years can make note of change. Mayors are organized to exchange ideas; so are controllers, city managers, engineers, civil servants, nurses, teachers, all the other professions, crafts, and occupations. Social workers hold conferences, maintain a journal, and pool their experiences in central agencies. Leagues of municipalities are to be found in many states. Examples might be multiplied indefinitely, but that would be a work of supererogation. The League of Nations is a grand culmination of the organizing process and its achievements in the sphere of science and intellectual intercourse make an impressive total. When the Fifth Assembly of the League met at Geneva last September, one of the interesting propositions laid before it was a scheme for inter-municipal co-operation among the nations affiliated with that world association. The project was brought up for consideration by His Excellency, Mr. G. Patterson, representing Cuba, on the authority of his government.
