...most significant aspect of this move to broaden selection from the ranks of university graduates is the change in service examinations from highly specific quizzes to general tests. Thus the government will follow the brilliant example of the English system in requiring of candidates some evidence of broad intellectual attainment instead of technical knowledge.

The Metropolitan is a mutual company, its policyholders being its shareholders and theoretically therefore electors of the management. Bill Douglas set out to show that this was only theoretical, that mutual management was actually self-perpetuating-just as the Armstrong Investigation concluded over 30 years ago. Noting that in the 23 years since Metropolitan shifted to mutual status the management slate has never been opposed, Bill Douglas further noted that at election time it is customary...
