520	3		_aJeff Gill and Kenneth J. Meier argue in their J-PART article "Public Administration Research and Practice: a Methodological Manifesto"that there is a crisis in public administration research. Public administration lags woefully behind political science and similar social scientific fields in its methodological sophistication. Part of the problem, they contend, is the misuse of null hypothesis significance testing (NHST); they suggest that NHST be abondoned altogether. They promote other methodological approaches that might be more useful to public administration research. This rejoinder supports their push to use alternative and more sophisticated methods in public administration research and adds that data visualization techniques, including the use of GIS, should be added to their list of valuable techniques. However, NHST testing should not be wholly abandoned because of misuse and ignorance. Instead, it is proposed here that the quality and focus of methodological training in public administration programs be improved and that those who work in the field develop a consensus on just what quantitative basics PA students shoud know
