A textbook for a course in personnel administration in which Riley (U. of Wisconsin-Stevens Point) provides a snapshot of public personnel administration as it had been transformed by the turn of the century. His premise is that in order to create an effective, responsible, and humane government, it is necessary, though perhaps not sufficient, to have people working in it who exercise those qualities. He includes discussion questions and exercises. No date is mentioned for the first edition. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
