Cooperation and Unification in Federal and State Statistical Work

By Simon Newton Dexter North

Book Overview

Cooperation And Unification In Federal And State Statistical Work is a book written by Simon Newton Dexter North in 1903. The book is a detailed analysis of the statistical work done by the federal and state governments in the United States. The author argues that there is a need for greater cooperation and unification between the two levels of government in order to improve the quality and accuracy of statistical data. North begins by discussing the history of statistical work in the United States, highlighting the role of the federal government in collecting and disseminating data. He then goes on to examine the work of individual states, noting the variations in their methods and the resulting inconsistencies in the data. The author suggests that the federal government should take a more active role in coordinating statistical work across the states. He argues that this would lead to greater efficiency and accuracy, as well as a more comprehensive understanding of social and economic conditions across the country. North also addresses the issue of duplication of effort, noting that many states are collecting the same data as the federal government. He suggests that a more coordinated approach would reduce this duplication and save resources. Overall, Cooperation And Unification In Federal And State Statistical Work is a detailed and insightful analysis of the state of statistical work in the United States at the turn of the 20th century. The book provides valuable insights into the challenges faced by statisticians and policymakers in collecting and analyzing data, and offers practical solutions for improving the system.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
