In a brief survey of the general econ situation in Jordan the author outlines the evolution of its econ system from a sheep & wheat based economy to one increasingly based upon commercial activities. The problems faced by a southern tribe are examined. The daughters of this group faced a change from seminomadic agri'al occup's to a sedentary commercial life. The modifications in family learning, work, leisure, & religion brought about by this change are described. The programs designed to meet this new state of affairs are examined. It is concluded that there should be: further educ for illiterate girls, direct & full preparation for marriage, playing fields, & sessions on soc training in the villages. Such educ measures meet the needs of the young women in the new situation. J. E. Hughes.
