Some
Persisting
Questions
Concerning
the
Constitutional

Executive.

96
pages.
A
review
of
the
most
important
problems
for
state
administration
in
the
United
States.
Gen-
eral
conclusions
are
well
deduced
from
an
his-
torical
outline
followed
by
the
examination
of
several
particular
questions,
including
the
office
of
lieutenant
governor
which
is
not
found
in
all
the
states,
the
appointment
of
the
attorney
gen-
eral,
the
exercise
of
the
governor’s
different
constitutional
powers,
and
the
number
of
adinin-
istrative
departments.
The
study
may
be
described
as
comparative
on
the
national
level,
and
it
ca~lls
attention
to
fact-
ors
that
help
towards
a
better
understanding
of
the
institutions
in
question
and
their
mechan-
ism.

Behavior.

The
internal
life
of
organizations,
whatever
their
individual
aims,
offers
many
common
fea-
tures.
Research
into
those
resemblances
and
into
the
methods
of
identifying
them
is
the
purpose
of
this
study
directed
towards
group
sociology.
The
author
starts
his
essay
on
method
by
exam-
ining
interviewing
techniques
and
the
lessons
that
may
be
derived
from
interviews
in
order
to
diagnose
an
organization
and
the
behaviour
of
its
members
at
all
levels.
He
then
attempts
to
rearrange
the
data
obtained
so
as
to
deduce
as
much
information
as
possible.
This
kind
of
investigation
is
very
useful for
guiding
the
future
development
of
organizations,
predicting
the
impact
of
changes,
and
establish-
ing
good
human
relations.
Professor
Argyris
concludes
by
pointing
out
the
usefulness
of
organizational
analysis
not
only
to
researchers,
who
increase
their
purely
scien-
tific
knowledge,
but
also
to
managers
dealing
with
practical
problems
and
future
programmes.
This
very
good
contribution
to
the
sociology
of
enterprises
will
be
of
great
service
to
public
administrators
responsible
for
organization
and
personnel
management.
Without
being
partic-
ularly
original,
it
contains
valuable
data,
and
a
methodological
survey
which
deserves
notice.

A
study
of
constitutional
law
which
was
originally
a
lecture
delivered
in
December
1959
to
the
Juristische
Gesellschaft
at
Berlin.
The
problem
briefly
dealt
with
is
that
of
the
legal
conditions
and
principles
of
the
reconstruc-
tion
of
the
German
State
after
1945,
and
their
impact
on
the
notions
and
theories
of
legal
writers.

In
this
monograph,
which
is
not
lacking
in
merits,
attention
should
be
more
particularly
drawn
to
the
chapters
on
Government
and
Ad-
ministration,
central
and
rural,
and
Development
of
Representative
Government.
The
information
given
in
those
fields
is
of
undoubted
interest
and
its
value
is
increased
by
being
placed
in
the
broader
light
of
political
and
economic
development.
The
book
shows
how
the
pattern
has
varied
since
Independence
ac-
cording
to
changes
in
the
parties
and
movements.
The
author
has
taken
care
in
gathering
ma-
trial
from
French
sources
and
has
well
grasped
the
fundamental
problems.
Nevertheless,
some
of
them
have,
perhaps,
been
approached
with
too
much
reliance
on
superficial
factors
and
ques-
tionable
sources.

An
increase

is
desirable,

in
Germany,
a
country
whose
achievements
in
the

of
organization
deserve

more
frequently

The
nature
and
extent
of
the
fundamental
rights
as
they
have
been
judicial’ly
determined
are
described
with
reference
to
the
Preamble
to
the
Constitution
of
India.
Professor
Banerjee
is
a
well-known
authority
on
constitutional
law,
and
it
is
most
fortunate
for
Indian
theory
that
he
should
now
publish
the
results
of
more
than
ten
years
research.
The
principles
discussed
are
very
frequently
compared
with
those
current
in
Great
Britain
and
the
United
States.
This
further
increases
the
interest
of
the
work,
part
of
which
has
already
appeared
in
print
in
the
form
of
articles.
This
is
a
first-class
book,
as
regards
subject
matter
as
well
as
method.
Students
of
com-
parative
flaw
will
find
valuable
comments,
espe-
cially
concerning
the
problems
involved
in
the
defence
of
the
rights
recognized
in
the
Preamble,
and
the
principles
and
ideas
which
influence
court
decisions.

J.A.,
The
Art
of
Administration.
London,

Press

1961.
224
pages,
12s.6d.
A
book
for
general
readers
as
well
as
those
actively
engaged
in
administration,
by
two
barristers
who
are
unconcerned
with
whether
administration
is
an
art
or
a
science,
and
have
no
preference
for
any
special
terminology.
From
their
long
practical
experience,
they
describe,
in
a
general
way,
the
political
and
administrative
machinery
of
the
United
Kingdom.
In
the
second
part,
they
study
certain
essentials
of
the
art
of
administration:
organization
and
manage-
ment,
conduct
of
meetings,
management
of
an
office,
selection
and
control
of
staff
and
other
matters.
This
critical
and
realistic
survey
is
not
with-
out
interest
and
goes
beyond
its
informative
purpose
by
providing
opinions
on
mechanisms,
behaviour,
and
attitudes.
The
authors
have
produced
a
work
which
deserves
attention
on
account
of
its
empiricism
and
lucidity.
They
have
approached
the
facts
of
public
administra-
tion
in
.a
way
which
makes
them
more
easily
understood,
and
explained
them
without
the
use
of
complex
and
pseudo-scientific
terms.
There
is
no
doubt
that
a
book
of
this
kind
will
foster
the
civic
education
of
the
masses,
apart
from
being
helpful
to
specialists.
