Hodson Tells Civil Service Need in Public Welfare
William Hodson, president of the public welfare association and commissioner of public welfare of city of New York, told a group of more than 100 persons attending the public welfare section of the imperative need for honest unselfish specially-trained personnel to administer and super-
--—■—7 j vise the public welfares program.
j The only way this type of person-J nel can be secured and safeguarded | is by civil service. “Infusion of politics will destroy the public welfare
handicap leading to confusion and inefficiency.”
With this stress on the increased resposibility borne by the administrative branches of the government, Adamantlos Th. Polyzoides, SC lecturer In international relations and journalism, yesterday addressed the morning assembly in Bovard auditoriem on “What an Enlarged Defense Program Means to Internal Government Administration.”
CONTROL ESSENTIAL
“No other machinery can take the place of government administration in the matter of national defense,” he said, “and even individual groups working on their own initiative have to be recognized and attached to governmental agencies if full advantage of their activity is to be secured.”

‘Economics’ Chosen For Tuesday Topics
After being warned by President Rufus B. von KieinSmid to “shut out the outside worid and concentrate on the single purpose of public service of the highest type,” 3000 public servants Monday began participation in the 12th annual Institute of Government.
In his welcome in the morning assembly in Bovard auditorium Dr. von KieinSmid told the enrollees that “it is likely that this will be the most serious institute we have ever held. But it must not be too serious.”
Dr. Emery E. Olson, dean of che S. C. School of Government, also greeted the delegates. “Since the Institute was first' begun,” Dean Olson said, “our world has greatly changed. We are here to study the adjustment that must be made.”
In the afternoon assembly Bur-

action on the part of private initiative can successfully solve the problem of national defense, which must become a matter of internal administrative leadership and action by the government.”
STUDY ADVISED
Polyzoides also called on the audience to “assume all the importance of a great conclave for the study of national defense from every point and every angle the Institute represents. Present events in Europe,” he said,” have amply demonstrated that the measure of ability of the internal government administration to organize, develop, and direct the forces of the nation must be advanced.”
In the Tuesday afternoon assembly Dr. H E. Chamberlain. M.D. and consulting psychiatrist’ with the state department of social welfare, discussed those features of psychiatry with which the public administrator and employee should be familiar.
PSYCHIATRY ATTACKED
Psychiatry, according to Dr. Chamberlain, was the first profession to be attacked by the totalitarian states. Its books were burned and its leaders exiled because the heads of those governments feared that psychiatry might release the populace from the taboos which ensnare them under regimentation.
Psychiatry must be disassociated from the study of the abnormal.
Most people are troubled with certain conflicts, one of the most common being the conflict between competition and brothelv love. According to Dr. Chamberlain, two courses are open: to choose one of these sets of values and to act accordingly, or to da pot both and suffer various Inhibitions thereunder

Instructions to Enrollees

2.	Possible room changes should be noted on the bulletin board in front of the auditorium.
3.	Informational questionnaires should be obtained, filled out, and submitted either in section rooms or at the main registration desk. Compliance with this request will enable the Institute staff to base future Institute programs on recommendations and opinions of the participants.
4.	Bibliographies that may be used in conjunction with subject material presented in sections may be purchased at each section or in front of Bovard auditorium. The lists are priced only to cover costs of mimeographing. Bibliographies from 1938 and 1939. if available, also may be purchased in front of the auditorium.
5.	Coupons should be removed carefully from registration books to avoid mutilation of punchmarks. Tearing the coupons on the perforation marks will protect the aoc«r«te record of attendance.
