OF THE UNITED STATES. BY John
A. Fairlie. Pr. 8274. $3.50. net. The
Macmillan Company. New York
An excellent reference or text book on
a department Of American government
rather neglected by constitutional writer's
! Is Professor Fairllea concise account OF
our National Administration" The au-
thor justly charges that books dealing
with our government have for the most
part devoted themselves to the constI-.
tuition and Its judicial INTERPRETATION. with
particular reference to tho functions or
Congress-. or to methods OF legislative
procedure. politics and party machinery.
In the meanwhile. as he says. "thc nd-
minlstrative organization and activities
OF the government have still been hardly
mentioned In most works OF a general
nature
The need for thorough and reliable
! work In this field has been apparent:
and Professor Tairlie's book Will unques-
tionably go far toward filling this need.
His volume. while far from being nh-
duly distendcd. is thoroughly conlprc
hensive.s Successive chapters consider the
| special and general administrative powers
| OF the President. the Senate and Con-
/ gress, 4the Cabinet and It's members, adj
ministrative organization. and ali the va
| rious departments and bureaus OF the
| central government In their various capa-
cities. Tho author has confined himself
| to a plain statement OF facts. OF which
there were enough, In all conscience. to
be adduced; and the reliability OF his
book inevitably suffers from the very
condensation which increases Its value
| In other directions. It Is q volume. in
short. not to be read, but to be studied.
and. We suspect, very helpful one to
have close at hand for ready reference.
