Abstract
THE main object of this book is to establish the case for putting our public health affairs in the hands of those who have real knowledge of the subject,” and “to demonstrate the need for complete re-organisation of the public health services.” It is not necessary to read the whole of the eleven chapters which compose the volume to be fairly convinced that some re-organisation is indeed needed. Perhaps the chapter entitled “The Complexity of Public Health Administration “is sufficient by itself to achieve the author's aim.
