[692] James C. Charlesworth, _Government Administration_ (New York: Harper, 1951), pp. 252-53, attributes to the term “integration” the meaning “administrative wholeness, or oneness, or entireness, or completeness of the elements under control.” We would lend the term the same positive tone but use it to indicate tendency or emphasis. [693] The words “co-operation” and “co-ordination” are taken from the texts of statutes, and it is assumed that they have distinctive meanings in the law. “Joint decision-making” and “mutual assistance” are obvious designations for the administrative relationships described in the statutes concerned. It would be digressive to incorporate any lengthy discussion of the concepts of “co-operation” and “co-ordination” in the text of this book. It should, however, be pointed out that they are fuzzy concepts, indeed, as employed in standard public administration texts, and as defined in standard dictionaries. The indices of Leonard D. White, _Introduction to the Study of Public Administration_ (3rd ed.; New York: Macmillan, 1948), John M. Pfiffner and R. Vance Presthus, _Public Administration_ (3rd ed.; New York: Ronald Press, 1953), and John D. Millet, _Management in the Public Service_ (New York: McGraw-Hill, 1954), do not list “co-operation.” Herbert A. Simon, Donald W. Smithburg, and Victor A. Thompson, _Public Administration_ (New York: Knopf, 1950), equate administration with co-operation: “When two men co-operate to roll a stone neither could have moved alone, the rudiments of administration have appeared” (p. 3). “Any activity involving the conscious co-operation of two or more persons can be called organized activity.... Thus, by formal organization we mean a planned system of co-operation effort in which each participant has a recognized role to play and duties or tasks to perform” (p. 5). “... the dignity of the individual can be respected only in an administrative situation in which all participants will gain, in one way or another, from the accomplishment of the organization goal. In such a situation, administration can be ‘co-operative’ in the broadest sense” (p. 23). Charlesworth, _op. cit._, imputes to co-operation the attributes of “a fast-moving automatic machine, every part (of which) must be positively controlled, so that at any particular phase of the machine’s operation, every part is in a precisely predetermined place, and no other place” (p. 220).
