But sometimes such bodies, finding that it is pleasant to discuss a controversial subject free from the gaze of the public, take to making more and more of their decisions in private, merely going through the motions of ratifying the decisions in open meeting. The good of the public then is likely to suffer. v . . ' Transacting public business in public meetings may seem to take a lot of time, and sometimes is embafrassing for officials. But it has its value. The eye of the publie, whether present in literal fact or represented by- reporters, exert s; a very great pressure for ■ > good In government an! should U; j I be retained wherever possible.
