TT?F CTT \ TIT n RECORD County Government Abuses (The Chapel Hill Weekly) j Paul M. Wager, a research j , worker connected with the de partment of rural social econo- j mics in the University, has ren- ! dered a public service of a high j order in writing the articles on i county government which are j appearing serially in the South ern Agriculturist. Fortunate- ! jly the editor of the magazine i is seeing to it that copies of it j reach the newspapers in North ; Carolina, and the consequence i is that thousands of the state's j citizens are learning, as they ; never before had the opportun ity to learn, of the wastefulness i and inefficiency which mark the conduct of the public business j in most of the counties. Knowledge much precede re- j form, and Mr. Wager sets down I in detail facts which people have previously only suspected or which have been presented to them only in haphazard fash ion. Voters now have definite and precise information to J guide them. Os course there is j not going to be any immediate j; revolution in county govern- j mentbut the effect of the; j articles, and of the comments j j they have brought forth, is" j sure to be reflected, in time, in \ the lopping off of unnecessary |« positions and in the inaugura- ■ I tion of better methods of book- j keeping and administration. A few of the counties of j i North Carolina have already in- 1 i stalled the manager system or | j something akin to it. Most of : them have not. -The probability i is that, in the next few years, i many which operate under the old- fashioned commissioner plan—with three commissioners meeting once or twice a month and passing hurriedly upon matters of which they know little—will decide to have a paid official who will devote his full time to the conduct ofl county business. The Young Men’s Christian Asso ciation is the largest student orga nization in the world. It is operat ing in 800 schools in the United 1 States, with a total membership of 78,863.
