Politicians Doomed The doom of ward politicians and machine pqlitics is assured with the adoption of city managerships, Dr. Hatton said. The system enables the operation of the city government as a business and not a political enter- prise. It usually consists of a hired "manager" under the direction of a small group of trustees or "council," who advise him but do not dictate to him. Dr. Hatton's research work will take him to Winnetka and Glencoe which are operated under the city manager plan fostered by the Northwestern professor. The success they have achieved leads Dr. Hatton to believe the plan is especially suited to small towns, and his work will be directed along those lines for some time. ------.

Inevitable, that, when this art school be established, it must be as fine, as worthy in its own sphere, as those other institutions to which Evans- ton renders its discriminating patronage. A school of which Evanston could be proud; one able to bear the trust of a discern- ing community.
