Factors Socially Relevant To Agricultural College Enrollment Rates: (A Study In The Social Foundations Of Career Decisions), Paul S. Anderson

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

While a considerable literature has accumulated on career development, most of it, as can be expected, has been produced by persons with counseling, psychological or labor market orientations. Hence, little in the current literature applies directly to a sociological conception of careers. Three recently published works in divergent ways sum up the field: The Sociology of Work, by Theodore Caplow (1954) The Organization Man, by William Whyte (1957) and Men and their Work by Everett Hughes (1958). While these works contain valuable insights, all of them focus primarily on activities which are the consequences of careers and career decisions without …

The Mexican In A Northern Urban Area: A Profile Of An Ethnic Community, Norman S. Goldner

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

The Mexican colony in St. Paul may be designated as a semi-community in as much as it has never been a stable, complete, and consistent social system (Martindale: 1960). Some of the factors responsible for the failure of the Mexican in the North to duplicate the ethnic community forms exhibited by other minority groups are suggested in the following account.

About three million Mexicans and Mexican-Americans comprise the fourth largest minority group in the United States. When the quota acts of 1921 and 1924 restricted immigration from Europe and Asia, the political and economic forces involved caused a flow of …

Some Comments: School, Family, And The Social Worker, Leonard Schneiderman

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

The previous paper has covered a good deal of ground. In the present discussion, taken from the point of view of a social worker, several reactions, ideas, and questions may be raised as a point of departure. One may, in fact, begin with the reference to the idea of subculture and its frequent misuse by social scientists. It seems reasonable that reference to deviant sub-culture often fails to take into account the fact that even deviant behavior may be structured and patterned according to the norms of the so-called majority.

This point has particular meaning in view of the fact …

Christmas Gifts To Make, O. Evans Scott

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

MOST of us appreciate a small, thoughtful gift much more than a"bought in a hurry" gift.

Here are a few suggestions for simple gifts that can be made, giving pleasure to both the maker and the recipient.

Sugar Bags - Just Sugar Bags : Brunch Buns, H M. Gloster

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

DID you all buy bags of sugar and make jam, and bottle fruit, while the soft fruits were in season?

I do hope you saved those sugar bags—also the bits and pieces of gay drip-dry cottons left over from home dressmaking.

You will find there are plenty of useful and attractive articles that you can make with these things.

Preserving And Pickling, O. Evans Scott

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

AT this time of the year many housewives wish that fruit trees would bear little and often throughout the year rather than a lot in a comparatively short space of time.

We preserve fruits to try to spread this short period, and to have them on hand to vary menus when fruit is out of season.

A cupboard shelf packed with bottles of colourful, neatly arranged preserved fruits is indeed a satisfying sight.

Bottling is the most popular method, with pickling being done to a smaller extent.

Getting The Best From Your Sewing Machine, O. Evans Scott

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

"NEXT to the plough, this is perhaps humanity's most blessed instrument." (Louis Antoine Godey.)

In some homes the sewing machine is the most sadly neglected and ill-used servant. It is often left set up, exposed to dust, dampness and scratching, used as a table and otherwise abused.

It is not right to have a machine stitching imperfectly and noisily and used for long periods without maintenance when a little attention can keep it performing quietly and efficiently.

Curtains, O. Evans Scott

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

To a housewife, spring and spring cleaning are practically synonymous. At this time we look with a stranger's eyes at our furnishings, changing them, cleaning, and making or buying new things.

A change in curtains can be relied upon to give a spring "face-lift" to any home.

The Two Dominant Theories Of The Contemporary Sociology Of Medicine, Mary Adams

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

One of the dramatic developments in contemporary sociology has been the emergence of the sociology of medicine. The sociology of medicine is not motivated by the weird view that disease is no longer due to biological causes, but rather, it employs the concepts and categories of sociology in the exploration of the social contextual events that surround and flow from illness. The accelerating rate at which articles and monographs in this area have accumulated in recent years has led to major attempts to assemble them, such as, Jaco's Patients, Physicians, and Illness (1958) and Apple's Sociological Studies of Health and …

Social Stratification In The Mass Society, Ronald Althouse

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

In every society the possibility is continuously present that persons occupying approximately equivalent situations may find it expedient to cooperate rather than compete for the things which their societies make available in limited amounts to all. This possibility supplies the foundation for social stratification: the horizontal integration of social layers within whatever pyramids may arise in the social group as a whole. From this flows the frequent partial organization of preliterate societies into age and sex grades. Feudal societies of the world have been organized into estates. Contemporary capitalistic societies have been organized into classes. And finally, it seems that …

Some Relations Of School And Family In American Culture, Robert F. Spencer

Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science

Virtually any statement made about the contemporary American system of education can be subjected to infinite documentation. What the school should accomplish, what is has accomplished, what its curricula ought to be, how far it should or has become a kind of surrogate for the family, church or other institution, emerge as vital questions for the professional educators, questions, clearly, for which there is no single answer. Judgments become normative, ameliorative, critical, and certainly, nearly always fraught with overtones of emotionalism. This leaves the non-specialist who attempts to gain an over-view of the nature and image of the educator and …
