A Cabinet Department of Education: An Unwise Campaign Promise or a Sound Idea
Most of the discussion concerning the merits and demerits of creating a new Cabinet Department of Education fails to go to the heart of the question as to what the purpose of cabinet departments should be, and under what circumstances they deserve to be created. Some members of the public administration community have criticized the creation of such a department as weakening the cabinet, stretching the president's span of control to such a degree…
The Origin and Meaning of Miles' Law
Parkinson and Peter propounded and published their principles in popular publications and parlayed them into a pretty penny. Miles more modestly and mindlessly marketed his memorable maxim by mouth. Parkinson and Peter obviously were much smarter. Miles does not have a single cent to show for his authorship of Miles' Law and, to make matters worse, sees his law occasionally attributed to other, more famous pundits.

Without its sanction in some form, no taxes may be imposed or other revenue raised; while on the other hand it may place such restrictions as it deems advisable upon the purposes for which expenditures may be made, or the amounts which may be expended for any particular purpose. In many of our go…
The Cincinnati Bureau of Municipal Research
Other than to carry out the general purpose of municipal re- search, and to apply its methods wherever necessary and possible, the Cincinnati bureau began its work in July, 1909, with no pre- conceived program.Its general purpose, in common with other bureaus, was stated briefly in the following words: &dquo;The purpose of the bureau is to conduct an entirely non-partisan study of the methods and work of the several departments of the city govern…
