Présentation de l'éditeur
To be successfully used, it must be regarded as one of those thin books which are necessarily supplemented by earnest and competent instruction. It is a book of texts as every true text-book should be. Such matters as are peculiarly liable to change have been avoided, or touched as lightly as possible; the intention being to sketch the groundwork only that which may be regarded as reasonably permanent. In order to prevent possible confusion by reason of too many details, and to place the remuneration for public service where it belongs subordinate to the service itself no definite salaries have been stated. As far as it has seemed desirable, the language of the statutes has been used. As the purpose of the work is simply to report the present facts qf local government, there is very little criticism ;very few words as to what such government ought to be. Such criticism and discussion might be very properly considered out of place in the common schools of the State. Suggestions that look to improvements or corrections in future editions will be welcomed. The appreciation of those received during the past four years is shown by their appearance in this revision. As there was but one motive in undertaking the task of preparing this manual, so there should be but one in using it an earnest desire to advance good citizenship in thia imperial Commonwealth. J. H. C. LAWRENCE, May,
