We have been convinced of the need for a book of this kind for some time past. Local Government in England and Wales has now advanced to a stage when no person can hope to take an intelligent interest in its vast work, or any section of it, without having previously studied the scope of local government, the constitution of the existing local authorities and their principal powers and duties. Officials are now qualifying themselves for Jiigher positions by means of examinations in particular subjects, and members of local authorities spend much time at conferences studying the practical working of particular departments of municipal enterprise. But if the work performed by councillors and officials is to be of permanent benefit to the community, it must be preceded by a study of the general principles of the law and practice of local government. The need for this study is being recognised by the examination scheme of the National Association of Local Government Officers and the provision of courses of lectures at the Universities and Higher Education Schools. There is at present no book known to us which we are of the opinion is in every way suitable for students, officials and councillors alike, and which explains in outline the meaning of local government, its growth, the constitution of local government authorities and their various powers and duties. Our aim has been to provide such a book.
