Beard, Charles A. | April 25, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the human nature and politics involved in the pending crisis of the health administrations in the New York City. Mayor Mitchell Hylan eliminates certain bureau chiefs to reduce the over head costs of health administration which led him into a veritable political wonderland and inadvertently opened up some remarkable problems in democracy and administration and new problems. All the while health administration was growing away from geography and the bailiwicks of political leaders and the habitat of the people. In other words, the democratic ferment is at work and has permeated administration as well as legislation.
