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.

L'étude de la promotion dans l'entreprise permet, à la différence des études générales de mobilité sociale, de découvrir les voies réelles d'ascension. Une analyse de ces phénomènes impose qu'on connaisse la structure hiérarchique de l'entreprise et ses modifications incessantes, qu'on distingue la promotion proprement dite, c'est-à-dire l'accès à un pouvoir accru, et ses substituts, et qu'on prenne conscience des critères employés réellement pour la promotion selon les niveaux hiérarchiques.

During this two year period, race relations have worsened. In Kenya the Mau Mau movement started. It is particularly anti-European and anti-Christian. One major cause for its appearance is the belief among the natives that the soil was alienated for European agricultural colonization. The second factor is represented by the social modifications brought about by the whites. The population has increased very quickly, and one solution to this problem is in the development of the economic resources of Occidental Africa. The problem of race relations is also acute in Bechuanaland because of the marriage of the chief's heir to a white woman. In the United Kingdom itself there are about 10,000 students and 40,000 colored workers and no discrimination. In matters of health tuberculosis is one of the greatest problems of social medicine. Great progress has been made in the case of leprosy, but malaria is still the greatest health hazard. A new organization, the Aplied Nutrition Unit, has been established. It is concerned with medical and dietetic aspects of nutrition. In several regions a program of housing construction has been started. D. Bystryn.
