and accept the norms of the new administration; and (2) What is the evidence
that a participant orientation toward the administrative process has developed in
India on the part of both officials and citizens? These two questions deal with two
needs and problems: consensus and achievements. How do the administration and
the public look at each other to achieve them?
The random probability sample was drawn from four hundred adults from
the rural area of Delhi State (256 villages), four hundred from the urban area
(population 2,359,000), and 220 officials from five administrative agencies. Three
agencies, Health, Police, and Postal, are common to rural and urban areas; one,
Community Development, works exclusively in rural areas; and the Delhi Trans-
portation Undertaking works solely in urban areas.
The results of this study are encouraging; 60 to 75 per cent of the population
of rural and urban areas of the Delhi State have some kind of contact with the
administration, and only 10 per cent are isolated. This may not be true in other
parts of India, but nevertheless, the way is paved for further study by scholars.
Political scientists and students of comparative administration will welcome this
volume devoted to the study of public perspectives and attitudes toward govern-
ment and administration.

rather than the American language, as might be expected from his background of
legal studies at the University of Berlin. He has put his European languages to
valuable use in this study. He interviewed...
