English Local Government of To - Day. By Milo Roy Maltbee, Ph.D.
(Columbia University, New York.)—This is one of the " Studies " periodically published by the Faculty of Political Science in the University of Columbia. A well-informed English
reader will find nothing that is new in it, but he cannot fail to be struck with the lucidity and accuracy of Dr. Maltbee's exposition of our system, while he will certainly be gratified by the high opinion which a competent observer from outside has formed of it. Local government is one of the many things in which we do not really deserve the injurious criticism which we are fond of passing upon ourselves. It should be noticed, in reference to recent propositions, that the centralisation which we are some- times disposed to diminish strikes Dr. Maltbee as generally desirable.
