Excerpt from Policeman and Public The following lectures in the Dodge Course at Yale University upon the Responsibility of Citizenship were delivered in April, 1918, while we were at War with Germany, and before nation-wide prohibition had gone into effect. Some of the matters treated may therefore seem out of date, but the text has been left unchanged, for the principles are enduring. As the book goes to press, the questions of police labor unions and strikes are much in the public mind. I cannot but feel that these questions would never have arisen if a better and truer understanding had existed between police and public - if the public paid its guardians proper salaries, provided them with single-minded public servants for leaders, kept itself informed as to police methods and results, and adopted means to reward men who were rendering commendable service, and if the police had been made to realize that they are entrusted with the proud duty of maintaining law and order, that they serve the whole people regardless of sect, politics, station in life or industry.
