President Outlines Functions of Governmental Rule
Rufus B. von KleinSmid
With the growth of American cities must necessarily come the extension and development of departments of city and county government to provide adequate direction of public utilities and protection to life, health, and property of citizens. These and other public benefits can be realized best through the functioning of governmental agencies such as bureaus and departments of accounting and assessments, of planning and zoning, of housing, sanitary engineering. water supply, juvenile welfare, recreation and parks, and the like.
Prosperity, culture, and a large measure of freedom for the enjoyment of an enriched living are direct outcomes of city life. Each of these material and human blessings has developed with the centering of population in the cities of our land. City life releases creative energy made possible through leisure time. The city and modern civilization advance side by side. Group life, whether in city or organized rural districts, calls for the operaton of social controls such as were not required in decades past. These controls are made ef. fective through the agencies of government, created in the interest of group welfare.
The efficient functioning of a governmental agency depends upon the special service rendered and upon the knowledge, judgment, and skill of the human agents employed. In the interests of broadening and clarifying their vision of public needs and of offering an opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills essential in the economical and judicious performance of public services the University of Southern California has established for employed city and county officials a June Short Course in “Citizenship and Public Administration" which now enters auspiciously upon its second annual program.
The instructional staff provided for the 1929 lectures and round table discussions includes the acknowledged leaders in their several fields. These discussions will surely result in a better and clearer understanding of the responsibilities assumed by public officials and will give a more certain grasp of the techniques to be employed in the several departments of city and couuty government.
