Excerpt from Proceedings of the Rochester Conference for Good City Government and Seventh Annual Meeting of the National Municipal League: Held May 8, 9, 10, 1901 at Rochester, N. Y
The constructive side of the League's work, however, has been in nowise overlooked or neglected. On the contrary, the reports Of the Committees on Instruction in Municipal Government in American Educational Institutions and Uniform Municipal Ac counting and Statistics represent important contributions to the forward movement in municipal affairs. President Drown's report with the accompanying paper of Dr. Young, the syllabi, the outlines and bibliography while only constituting a tentative and preliminary report, have been influential in arousing a very gen eral interest in American colleges and universities in the subject Of municipal government. Republished in pamphlet form, they have been widely circulated and commented upon. Judg ing from the correspondence resulting from this distribution in pamphlet form, the Committee's work is destined to have a decided influence in securing more widespread instruction in the subject.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is the culmination of the National Municipal League's 6th annual meeting in New York, where efforts to improve municipal governance were discussed and reported on by notable figures of the era, including the mayor of Rochester, NY. With topics ranging from women's suffrage to charter reform, this collection of papers and reports delves into the history and practice of city government in the United States at the turn of the 20th century. The author takes a historical approach to the theme, contrasting the challenges of the day with the existing political landscape, going as far as to suggest that the ideal society is one where the municipality is the organizing principle of government rather than the nation state.
