FAYORS MUNICIPAL TRAINING
Meredith Nicholson Would Have
Universities Teach This Subject.
WOMAN'S WORK OUT OF HOME
Asks ir Woman's Place, is In (he
Home Whr Do We Edacnte Iter
8o She Can Help In the
Government?
Meredith Nicholson, author and poli
tician from Indlanapolla'Is looking (or the
day when all great -universities wilt have
a department' for training Y'otfng people
In. the efficient management of municipal
affairs. lie said so at the University
clunb luncheon, where he. was the guest
of honor at noon. Ho went overt the
rapid rise of the agricultural training,
the industrial domestic training in the
colleges of today. "And why not?" he
said. "Why should there not be a de
partment that makes a study ot muni
cipal affairs and their efficient manage
ment, where students who care to tit.
tow that line could study all labout the
various lines ot problems that must be
met In city government."
Ho supplemented this Idea with the
statement that personally he Is In favor
ot the business manager plan of running
city governments. "Perhaps there Is not
always a man In the particular city that
has all the fitness to handle the Job.
he said. '.That should make no differ
ence There Is no good, reason why he
should bo chosen from the particular city
whose affairs he Is to manage. What we
want Is to have the work done, and to
have It done efficiently and Honestly."
He cited the case of the wonderful work
done In the construction of the Panama
canal by Colonel Ooethals, who was sent
there from the United Htates army be
cause he was trained In the engineering
work that was required to build the canal.
Going further In his discussion of mu
nicipal affairs he said; "And I believe
that the enfranchisement of women will
help materially In working out the mu
nicipal problems, i am not in favor of
the old saying that a woman's place Is
In the home. Woman's work has gone
from the home. Bread can be baked
cheaper In the bakery. Clothes can be
manufactured cheaper In the factories.
It her place Is the home what Is she to
do In the home? If woman's place Is in
the home, and If she Is never to have a
voice or a thought In government af
fairs, why educate her? Why do we
continue to spend money to educate them
In the colleges if they are to go back
home and sit down there and never have
an Idea of their own?"
Will Not Insist Upon
Conduit Wiring for
All Private Homes
M. J. Curran, city electrician, says he
will not insist on conduit construction In
nrivHte residences In the new ordinance
he is preparing for submission to the city
commission. Conduits would greatly in
crease the coat ot electrical wiring in
private houses. Mr. Curran said:
"Only changes of a moderate nature
affecting buildings outside ot the fire
limits other than prlvato residences aro
being considered. These changes will af
fect very .tew buildings and-are made
principally In the Interest of uniformity,
It being desirable that buildings where
similar risks prevail should be treated
alike."
E. J. Cornish is to

Joe B. Hummel ar-d the libera) patron of

While In the city last week, Mr. Comlsh
announced his Intention of Increasing his
gifts to Carter Lake park by another do
nation of W00O or 35,(O0.
