THE PROFESSION OF
CITY MANAGING
There la in Springfield, Ohio, a bin J
of eight rnen who have formed "The
City Managers' Association." When the
association waa first organized and
given Its name early In the month of
December—it waa proclaimed that a
new profession -city managing had
come into existence At the least, an
expression and definite existence was
given to the new conscious force for
the efficient and economical manage
ment of municipalities.
It la not generally appreciated that
there are now as many as nineteen
cities In the United Htulea which are
under the regular city managers and
being run after the fashion of a mod
ern business; run for the purpose of
producing the greatest possible bene
fit for the community at the smallest
possible expense and no waste. There
are now many cities contemplating
making a change of government and
adopting the city manager plan In
preference to the commission plan The
Idea has steadily grown In the minds
of Americans since March UH)k, when
Htaupton, Virginia, put its entire gov
ernment Into the hands of one man and
appointed Charles K. Aa'iburner, now
the city manager of Springfield, Ohio,
the town In which the city managers'
association has been formed.
The inamtK<r plan ha* not devel
oped with unythiiiK Ilka the name rap
idity that the commtMlon government
haa developed, but it 1* claimed that
the reuenti for thla la that It la a etep
In evolution beyond oommlaalon rov*
ernment It la very certain that thoae
rlttea which are run by a alnglo ex
pert tn city government have achieved
very Ptriktng «ml remarkable reunite In
efficiency and economy. Pi nimbly no
mayor of u city lihh ever had etich
vhole-mmled support from hie etti/one
mn Manager Henry M. \Valte of Day
ton It wae therefore not professional
conceit from the city managers at this
convention when, in the words of
Manager Kenyon J<iddi« of Abilene
Kansas, they hailed the form of gov
ernment which they repr* seated ns the
one most nearly embodying “honesty,
system, falrnee*. harmony. e\perttie>s,
abolition of rotten politics and consid
eration of every employe"
Of the eight managers present at th*
organisation of the City Managers' As
sociation. It Is noteworthy that six of
them were engineers, one the clerk of
a district court, anil one a business
man The Important theme under dis
cussion among this group of city tnnn
agers was “what should be the quail
ties and education to fit a man to
become a Iqpder in the fight against
civic corruption T* Despite the fact
thst six out of the eight city manager*
were h'ghly trained engineer*, it was
decided among them that while a tech
nical education le very desirable, busi
ness and executive ability, common
sense and honestv were the principal
qualifications Manager Aehhurner.
president of the usaoctntlon, asserted
that It would he on the character of
the city manager that the success of
the form would depend. Manager
Walts satd a city manager should have
a lair education, sufficient theory, hut
not enough to overbalance practicality

THE FISH AND THEIR HOUSE
One day a flnh that lived In a large
pond came to the nurfnce and flopped
upon Ihe bank. Then ho flopped along
until he wji h quite a way from the
pool, for he wan an Inqulaltlve f!nh and
wanted to know how the people who
came to the pond fishing lived. Ho
thought they were ho queer looking, ho
felt sure their home** must be quaef
UIMO.
HI
When he saw the houses and the
windows and doors he became a dis
contented as well an tin Inquisitive
fish and hurrying back to tlio pond,
he (lopped Into the water and down to
the depths and to tell his companions
what he had seen.
“Now, what you want is ft house/’
he told them “If we had a house with
windows and doors we would be safe
from those fishermen who come here
with the cruel hooks.“
“Hut how own wr got those houses?”
HMked another fish. “We cannot build
lotuses, nml we must live In the water.”
"No, we cannot build houses and our
house must be one tliot holds water.”
said the big fish ”1 have s plan, and
If you will agree to stay awake tonight
and ito as 1 tell you we may be able
to have « house.* •
"We will do anything you say," said
his companions How long will we
hH\e to slay Mwake”“
"Perhaps all night. Any way. It will
be midnight before the fairies corns
down by the pond.” said the big fish

INDOOR SPORTS
When the fairies came to the pond
that night they were surprised to see
hundreds of heads sticking out of the
water, and still more surprised when
the big fish made known his strange
request.
"We cannot do a thing for you our
selves,” said the queen, "Ixsoause you
must have a house In the water, and
w« cannot work where it is wet, but
we will see the gnomes and see what
they cun do for you.
‘Tome here totnorow night and wo
will fell you what they say."
Hut the gnomes could do nothing,
and the fairies went to the goblins.
"We cannot work with water all
around us." said the goblins. ‘‘lf they
went to where it is damp but not
all water we will see what we can d 0.."
Ho the fairies told the fishes what
the goblins said, but that would not do.
"It must he a house that holds water,"
said the big fish.
“We might try the cave witch," said
the queen; “she knows everything
Kven If she c annot do it herself, she
knows how it can he brought about."
Ho they went to the cave witch.
“No, I cannot do it,” she told them;
“but you auk Jack Frost. He is a
snappy fellow, and I am sure he will
think of a way to help your friends."
Ho all the little falTies put on their
fur hoods and coats and overshoes and
away they went to Jack Frost
Jack snapped his fingers and danced
abend on the tips of his toes while he
whs thinking, and at last he said:
“It can’t be done."
Just as snappy as he could be and
Just as the fairies were going away
looking disappointed, he said In the
same snappy tone, "Wait."
Then he danced some more, and then
he said Just «s snappy as before, "I
have It! I have it!"
Then he began to talk in a voice a
little less srtappy, or else the fairies
hud become used to him and did not
notice the snap. “Tell your friends
that I will give them a window; that
Is the nertreet I can come to building
them h house, but I am sure It will
answer all purposea,” and ttiat Is all
he would tell them; so the fairies went
back to the pond and delivered tho
message.

when he will do a thing." said the
queen "He works Just when he
feels like It. but he will do It some

time, and I am sorry that is all we
can do to help you get your house."
The fishes waited and waited, but
there was no change in the pond, and
they had about given up hope when
one morning the big fish awoke first,
and, swimming too to top of the pons
he went bump, and back he went to
the bottom.
He tried it again, and bump went
his head just as before.
“That is funny,” he said to himself.
*1 can see the light but; I oan’t get
out of this pond. Around the pond
he swam, calling the others to see if
they could tell what had happened, but
each one went bump whenever they
tried to poke their heads out of the
water.
“Wait." called the big fish after a
while. “I can tell what has happened.
Jack Frost has given us our window;
we had a house all the time and didn’t
know It. All we needed was a win
dow, and Jack has given It to us."
And, sure enough, -the pond was
frozen over as smooth as glass and the
fishes had the house and window at
last that they had wished for.
“PONT* KNOCK
(From tho Milwaukee Journal.)
Few persona (lo not value the good
opinion of others. Pulling down the
character of someone else Is not the
way to build up your own; the ruin
of another does not mean your build
ing up. There are some who appear
to think another's possessions some
thing taken from themselves. This is
a mistake. To point out an error In
another’s character It is not to prove
a corresponding virtue In one's own.
If we decry another for being mis
erly, of disagreeable disposition, ex
travagant, or stupid and expect the
hearer to see tho corresponding virtue
in themselves, we need to learn that
this Is not what the hearer usually
sees. Rather he thinks how unkind
such talk is and attention is called to
fallings In the speaker which would
probably otherwise not have been no
ticed.
Let yonr chief aim be to make
yourself worthy of the good opinion
of others Belittling them is a plain
nsknowledgement of a cnosdous fault
of your own. The way to win the good
opinion of others is to he worthy of
it. If you are. you will not need to
call attention to It.
“I BEAR A SINGING HEART."

Who smiled beneath his leaden load,

Could not make bend the hardy knee.
"How such brave seeming? Tell the
