TRAINING FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT
[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR]
SIR,—In the issue of your journal for May 27th, you published an article on " The Local Government Service," by Mr. E. L. Hasluck. Though the article dealt with the training as well as the recruitment of local government officers, the author did not mention the fact that nine British Universities now offer training courses in public administration for them. This is a most significant development. The whole structure of the Local Government Service is going through a critical period of change, and it is probable that the Universities will be able to make a greater contribution to social progress through this channel than they have through almost any other available to them at the present time.—I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
Liverpool 7. Chairman, Public Administration
Sub-Committee.
