Choosing Your Career Politics Should Not Be Adopted as a ““Career” in the Ordinary Sense of Word, but Citizens Prove of Great Service by Constructive Participation. BY FRANKLIN This is the' twelfth 18, Serles of 24 articles designed to help young men a women find careers which appes o them and for which they are fitte w York. He bega: Chreer S Dublic. ife In 1910, in the New Tork Senate He ed at Gmbla, and i & Thwset: — I HAVE been ed to write about Harvard and the kind of training our young men and women should have for a political career. Let me say at the outset that I do not believe that any one should adopt politics as a “career,” in the or- dinary sense of the word. The day of the professional politician is passing; | and besides a greater proportion of governmental positions, year by year, are passing under the civil service. Therefore, any deliberate attempt to make a living by holding office under modern conditions is doomed to failure from the start. This is true in spite of the rather rare example which we see of political leaders in some of our com- munities who, year after year, continue to hold appointive, and in rare cases, elective offices. Fifty years ago it was common to find individuals mu{?ng a living by the sale of political power. Today these prac- tices are becoming more and more de- spised throughout the country. ‘The civil service, and more lately the diplomatic and consular services, have become fairly definite careers which B rovide opportunities for promotion and igher salaries when ability is shown. However, one can hardly consider these services as political careers, for it is the exception rather than the rule to find civil service men or women either candidates for office or appointees among those holding the highest posi- tions. Future Course Suggested. ‘This perhaps is unfortunate and it is to be hoped that Presidents and gover- nors will, in the future, more than they have in the past, appoint members of their cabinets and heads of vheir im- portant commissions from the ranks of the permanent government employes. A strictly political career, therefore, should presuppose some kind of pro- fession or business in private life to fall back upon. Those who run for public office should not be deterred by the possibility of losing an election or the possibility that if electrd and later retired to private life they will have nothing to fall back upon. Even if by special training and edu- eation or special fitness for a position one can obtain a high official post by election or appointment, this vost pro- vides only a temporary income which sooner or later will be terminated. It is well to remember, however, that the fields of elective or appointive of- fices are becoming more and more open to our young men and our young wom- en who have qualified themselves for leadership in conducting the affairs of our Nation. These are the younger generation, who, in addition to, or in connection with, their chosen private business, have given special study to government as such—municipal, State or National. Difficulty of Task. As an executive during the World War and more’ lately as Governor of New York, I am frank in saying .that I find the task of making selections for important government _administrative nmces a difficult one—not hecause of choosing between scores of candidates, but because of the difficulty of finding the man or woman definitely and con- spicuously fitted for the task. As specialization,has become the rule in business life, it is also beirfg fol- lowed more and more in governmental affairs. Therefore, there is the definite assurance to the future generation that they will be given consideration for governmental positions if they become outstanding experts in any one of the score or more fields of governmental activities. These governmental activi- ties follow in many particulars similar occupations in private life and private business, yet they require the umflnoml knowledge of the theory and practice of public relations. I hope that I am right in my belief that more and more young people are entering the business of life with the idea that when the opportunity offers they will seek to place their knowledge and experience at the service of their fellow citizens. The first step, of course, is in local affairs—if they make good their State and Nation will call upon them. (Covyright. 1930, by North American News- Daver Alliance.)
