The problems which are the most vital and most interesting to the great mass of our people are civic problems. National questions are more remote and unreal. Life centers in the city; its governmental functions concern the family, the individual, our own flesh and blood, directly. The education of children, the righteous administration of the business of the community, communal rights, the preservation of law and order, the housing of the population, the care of the poor, the suppression of vice, the treatment of the alien, the inter-relation of men and women, all these matters and many others come home to us with directness and force. These questions are absorbing the attention of very many thoughtful men and women; they are the concern of such great organizations as the National Municipal League and the National Economic League. Much literature is in existence upon the technical and administrative aspects of these problems; very little has been written upon the moral side. Yet these questions are all at bottom, moral questions.
