Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Science in Public Affairs What is true of Commerce and Industry is not less true of the Art of Government. This art is founded on science. Where the clear conceptions which science alone can give are absent, con fusion is the result. People hardly know yet how much this is being realised. Our best reformers in such subjects as Poor Law Administration, in Education, in Local Government, in the region which belongs to the Labour and Commercial sides of the Board of Trade, in Public Health, and, last but not least, in Railway Administration, are yearly insisting more loudly on the necessity of the trained mind. Things are, as a consequence, rapidly ceasing to be what they where. The meaning of the change which is taking place is the subject of this volume.
