- Title
RADIO AND BETTER CITY GOVERNMENT.
- Authors
Van Loon, Janet
- Abstract
All over the country, laymen and students of public administration are clamoring for better city government. Everyone knows that few American cities are run efficiently, but those who have taken the trouble to get at the roots know that the real cause is the indifference and ignorance of the average citizen. If you walk down the street in any city, and ask the first ten men and women what form of government they have, what services the government provides, and whether those services are efficiently rendered, probably not more than one can answer all three questions. Therefore the first steps in the solution of the problem might well be, first to arouse interest, and then to educate. Attempts have been made to educate the citizens, but speeches, printed annual reports, and radio talks have not been enough.
