Dugdale became the first Secretary of the Society for Political Education. This again was labor in the field of social improvement. Valu- able as had been the work done by political parties in discussing political questions, the work was still always limited by the fancied necessities, frequent pretences, and dexterous timidity of partisan con- flicts. Every effort at prison reform, at the com- pulsory sanitary protection of the very poor and the very young, had to be successful, if at all, thr...ough legislative or executive bodies, made up almost entirely of men in political life. It was a most serious obstacle to the advance of the reforms on which Mr. Dugdale's heart was set, that these men were often chosen as the result of skilful in- trigue or as a reward for the lowest order of par- 12 tisan activity. Men so chosen could not be equal to the statesmanlike work appropriate to the offices they held. And it was plainly seen that the popu- lar choice of public officers would continue to be so made as long as public opinion was not directed to administrative efficiency and honor, but was swayed by vague sentiments cleverly heated by rival parti- sans for election emergencies, or by corrupt and sinister influences designed to prevent either party from taking a distinct position upon any matter of real public moment, — and so long as popular in- terest in political questions was not sufficiently wide-spread or well-enough disciplined to compel parties to take sides upon them.
