Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Weather Bureau: Its History, Activities and Organization The first essential to efficient administration Of any enter prise is full knowledge of its present make - up and Operation. Without full and complete information before them, as to existing organization, personnel, plant, and methods of oper ation and control, neither legislators nor administrators can properly perform their functions. The greater the work, the more varied the activities en gaged in, and the more complex the organization employed, and more imperative becomes the necessity that this informa tion shall be available - and available in such a form that it can readily be utilized. Of all undertakings, none in the United States, and few, if any, in the world, approach in magnitude, complexity, and importance that of the national government of the United States. As President Taft expressed it in his message to Con gress of January 17, 1912, in referring to the inquiry being made under his direction into the efficiency and economy Of the methods of prosecuting public business, the activities of the national government are almost as varied as those of the en tire business world. The operations Of the government affect the interest of every person living within the jurisdiction Of the United States. Its organization embraces stations and centers of work located in every city and in many local sub divisions Of the country. Its gross expenditures amount to billions annually. Including the personnel Of the military and naval establishments, more than half a million persons are re quired to do the work imposed by law upon the executive branch of the government.
