Abstract:
During the last ten years the reorganization of state government has been one of the liveliest subjects in political science.
A great deal has been written about it, but little has been done
to remedy the defects pointed out. Some progress has been made,
however, and doubtless the next few years will see the widespread
adoption of many recommendations investigators recently have
proposed. We are just entering upon the period of construction
which normally follows the period of criticism.
