Entered at the Post Office at Richmond. Indiana, as Second Claa Mail Matter,

' True Municipal Economy. The Palladium has persistently advocated (efficiency in municipal administration. It bejlieves in a definite, constructive program which "would increase business, lower taxes, and furnish fthe citizens a better community in every way. j And this is no vague guess or wish but a system as definitely articulated and as scientific as n architect's blue print. It does not mean, jmerely, placing a few men in office who will work fhard and stir up clouds of dust, it means the sustained operation in city business of those methods which have created the great modern industrial concerns. j Some have a hazy idea that an efficient city 'administration would be extravagant and give the city a hod of gold bricks by way of raising ;the tax levy. But this is not the case. The application of principles of efficiency would save the city annually thousands of dollars. An illustration of the possible savings is strikingly shown in a recent experience of the

city of Dayton. Through the use of expert knowledge the officials now in charge of affairs there have saved $25,000 on one deal alone. That in itself pays for the installation of the system jnany times over. ' Two of these men spent a day in Richmond analyzing the municipal records. At the conclusion one of them said, "I would not be afraid to 'guarantee to save this city by efficiency methods $25,00 the first year." The other, a city engineer of wide experience, made a tour about Itown examining the streets; on returning he aid, "You are throwing away $10,000 every iyear by the way you are making your streets." The city could accomplish either of two things by applying efficiency system; it could decrease its tax rate in three or four years and thus pay much less for what it now receives, or it could receive far more for what it is now spending.

Sociology. Ex-Senator Albert Beveridge relates an incident of his career in congress in which he sat with a colleague through hearings before a certain committee. The chairman had called in a SOCIOLOGIST to give expert testimony on some moot point. After adjournment Beveridge asked his confrere what he thought of the expert. "That fellow!" snorted the senator with derision, "Why he's a fool, of course, just as one would expect of a SOCIALIST!" This amusing outburst serves to illustrate the popular misunderstanding of a term that comes into ever more frequent use. Many persons have a vague idea that it refers somehow

to society or social matters but as to what its definite meaning is not many know. It will be well if an effort is made to make the term better understood by the many. Sociology is the science that deals with the history of human society as a society, and traces the rise and development of the various institutions into which society is organized. The family, the nation, tribes, clans, historic development, racial characteristics, schools, are a very few of the chief divisions of the field of sociology. Its usefulness consists in furnishing to the student of economics and politics, to the lawyer, the historian and the statesman, the underlying principles of racial and national development. The statesman well grounded in sociology will understand something of the nature and character of the people he is leading and will thus be saved from many blunders and ineffectual efforts. There is some excuse for the popular misconception of the science inasmuch as the word itself has but recently come into general use. Scientists themselves fought its adoption until a brief while ago. So late as 1886 the great Prof. Youmans wrote to an American student a letter in which he speaks of the term as "popularly repulsive." The first American scientist boldly to make use of it was Lester F. Ward, whose "Dynamic Sociology" marked an epoch and stands as a classic in the science. At that time there were in existence only four works using the word, excepting the numerous volumes of Herbert Spencer, who did not hesitate to use it after having discovered the expressiveness of it. And yet the word had been given its scientific standing so far back at 1838, when August Comte, founder of the philosophic system, called "Positivism," used it in his classification of the sciences. And even he did not claim priority, for he frankly admitted the word had been used before him by Condorcet and Montesquieu. In 1883 there was not a college in the world offering a course in the science dealing with the laws and development of human society; today every college in the country and many high

schools offer thorough instruction and in many instances several special courses. In 1890 the great Acadamy of Political and Social Science was organized in Philadelphia. In twenty-four years it has done more than any other single institution to awaken the American public to the importance of social questions and its "Annals," as its reports are named (can be had from the Richmond library), have been source books to thousands of careful students of social problems. In 1894, with Sir John Lubbock at its head, the International Institute of Sociology was organized and has since been a mighty factor in bringing the nations closer together and in paving the way for the epoch making legislation which has revolutionized England the past two years. Biology was the leading science in the Nineteenth century; sociology promises to take the lead in the Twentieth. Already it monopolizes the attention of more students than any other science. And that is significant. It shows that man is becoming interested once more in man. His

tory reveals a three-fold swing of the pendulum of mental progress of the race. Man is interested in his relationship with God. When this becomes of supreme importance we have an age of theology such as that of Athanasius and of Luther. Or man becomes vitally interested in Nature. When the pendulum swings to that extreme we have such an age as the Twentieth century when man probed into every corner of the domain of nature eager for what he might learn. The Enlightenment began as an age of Nature. But this seems to be the age of man. It is himself that fascinates the thinker now, himself not as an individual, as in the Eighteenth century, but collectively, as a race. For such an age Sociology is the inevitable science. And it is out of such a sociologic age that one may confidently expect to see emerge the far reaching revolutions in the conditions of life which go farthest to realize the prophets' dreams.

Dr. T.H.Davis Outlines Health Department

A New Milk Ordinance. At council meeting Monday night Health Officer Dr. T. H. Davis recommended to the ordinance committee the drafting of a new measure for controlling the city's milk supply. If the doctor's wishes are carried out, and it is to be hoped they will, this new enactment will serve as an omnibus legislation for regulating all city dairies. There is no reason why regulations dealing with the milk supply should be divided up among two or three ordinances. If the measure is made as Dr. Davis wishes it will be a model for all Indiana cities and if properly enforced will give Richmond the best milk protection it has ever had. And there will be no hardships on the dairymen because in the long run the new code will make for their increased prosperity. The local health department has been severely handicapped by two important infirmities: lack of proper equipment and dearth of public sentiment. Adequately to do its work it needs a laboratory, not an expensive outfit, and one or two expert men. It needs a far more efficient garbage department with increased collecting service and an addition to the crematory. But most of all is needed the moral support of the people of the community. Where a health officer is blocked and thwarted at every turn,

where the people stubbornly and ignorantly refuse to co-operate or to heed his advices competent health service is impossible. It is to be hoped the recent epidemic of typhoid will have awakened the public to the importance of public health regulation. If storekeepers, butchers, grocers, dairymen and housekeepers will get behind the department there is no reason why tuberculosis, typhoid, scarlet fever and measles may not be wiped off the Richmond map. And there is no reason why a campaign could not be launched which would raise the community's health efficiency at least 25 per cent.

Dr. T. H. Davis, local health officer, has arrived at the opinion that Richmond could save annually thousands of dollars and many lives by a well equipped and efficiently manned health department. He has outlined a plan for such a department as a city of Richmond's size should install. "In the first place." said the doctor, "we need above all things an expert health officer. He should be a specialist, trained in a colIe.ee of sanitary science and paid a salary adequate to enable him to devote all his time to his work. An expert sanitarian would be better than a physician because the latter mieht be too lax through the confraternal spirit that exists in ray profession. I should say he ousht not to be permitted any vested interests in the city in order that he wouldn't feel restrained or handicapped in any way. If we paid such a man $2,0K it would be one of the best investments the city ever made. "Our industrial prosperity and efficiency depend at last on our public health. Industrial efficiency is equal to health efficiency. Increase health, you increase wealth. Therefore the truest economy that can be practiced by our taxpayers is to secure 'he maximum public health. The cheapest man for us in our health department is the most efficient man. Kvery dollar invested in an expert's salary will save us many dollars in the lorn: run and add to the prosperity of Richmond. Those unfamiliar with the work of the health department simply cannot realize the possibility of savings throueh public health efficiency. To Regulate Supply. "One of the most important functions of a first class department is the regulation of the milk supply. Milk is rapidly becoming a staple article of diet, used by all classes and all ages, and since meat is increasing in price, milk will be used more and more for food. But milk is a fertile breeding ground for disease germs if not carefully watched. We should throw about the dairy business all those just and necessary restrictions which will make it perfectly safe as an article of diet. "I believe the tuberculin test should be made compulsory and that no dairyman be permitted to sell milk from untested cows. Dairy herds should be tested at least once per year by a competent veterinarian and no cows

I

should be added to the herds until after the test has been made. Of course it would be necessary to use federal tuberculin in the test and to administer it according to the requirement of the authorities. I'nder no considerations should the veterinarian be permitted to deputize the responsibility of making the test to a dairyman or oilier unauthorized person. "But one of the most desirable t nines of al! would be a municipal laboratory. This could be very modest and comparatively inexpensive and yet lultill all necessary purposes. It could be used to the ereatft advantage by phsieians. health department and th public at large. In diagnosing diseases, in analyzing milk and water, in testing foods, and in lending assistance to the school medical inspectors, such an institution would do a world of good. In a year's time it would pay for i'self and its superintendent. Need Trained Nurse. "While speaking of the school department, I miirht say. though it is not in my department except indirectly, that I believe the efficiency of school inspection could be increased manifold by employing a trained nurse to follow up all cases and carry inspection into the homes. Many times a notice by the medical inspector is misunderstood or ignored which would be carried out if a nurse were on hand to take charge of it. I believe the children saved from repeating a gradf would if -vp than pay the city for the modest salary of such a nurse. "School officers would find the laboratory I spoke of very useful. It could be used also by the county at large in a hundred ways. And because of all its manifold uses I am sure the various commissioners and trustees of county, township, city and school could very easily get together and share in the expense of its installation and maintenance. "Of course we would need a skilled man to have charge of a laboratory, but we could use him all the time; there is work enough. What such an institution would mean to the city no person can realize. It would sae in the long run thousands of lives, measureless suffering and thousands and thousands of dollars. "In fact," said the doctor with manifest enthusiasm, "this entire plan as outlined would be one of the greatest money savers imaginable."
