Interdisciplinarity and higher education
One aspect of the current world‐wide concern with the environment has been the questioning of traditional forms of higher education. A re‐examination of the adequacy of higher education in meeting world needs will continue to be encountered. One important aspect of this re‐examination is a consideration of the value of interdisciplinary innovation. Interdisciplinarity, and indeed all other forms of innovation, must be viewed from the perspective …
Educational aspects of environmental issues
Global problems of the environment have human as well as technical dimensions. Solution of these problems will require substantial commitment by higher education. Colleges and universities will be called upon to produce graduates with new skills—all the way from skills of awareness and commitment to job related skills of a general and specialized nature.

A Review of the Controversy Over County Executives
IN THE steadily growing literature on county government in this country the most frequently discussed proposal is that of a unified county executive. It therefore seems somewhat strange that the proponents of the plan have never attempted to give a satisfactory answer to the objections raised against it. A survey of the literature of the field reveals general agreement on the desirability of county executives except for what might be termed the K…
Some Comparative Experience in Adjusting Local Units and Areas
The problem of adjusting the units and areas of local government to meet changing conditions seems to be a universal one. It involves not only the question of procedure, but also the quest of the ideal. With the exception of school districts, extensive experimentation has not been forthcoming in the United States; other English-speaking countries have been far more concerned with local units and areas. The present paper deals with the experiences…
Trends in English Local Government, 1944
Many accusations are being made in England at the present time that an over-centralized bureaucracy is stifling local government. The Government's plans for local government in the postwar period tend, it is said, to abolish local self-government.If any such trends are discernible, an examination of local-government developments in 1944 ought to reveal them, since that year was one of profound change for English local government. Nearly every ser…
State Supervision of Local Government in Minnesota
For purposes of the study Wallace's classification of degrees of administrative supervision was used. On the basis of the statutes of the several states, Professor Wallace concluded that supervisory devices could best be classified in ascending degree of individual effectiveness as follows: persuasive devices, including reports, inspection and investigation, and advice; inbetween devices, including grants-in-aid; and devices giving control over l…
