This article presents a statement by Samuel S. Baxter on the importance of AWWA adjusting itself to the changing environment, political and otherwise, in this nation for the common goals of improving the water industry and providing better service to the public. He stresses that the internal organization of AWWA needs an overhauling if it is to achieve its goals 5 years from now or in the longer period ahead as urbanization and increased population threaten to overwhelm the industry. He cites two publications, the first being a report of a committee of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on the subject of the future of trade associations. The second publication is an interview with Abel Wolman, in which he suggests that a living organism which does not adjust itself to its environment will gradually decay and die, and that those organisms which live are those that do adjust.
