Analysis of the treatment of colored people in a small selection of history & geography textbooks used in secondary Sch's, & in syllabuses & exam papers in those subjects for the General Certificate of Educ. The stereotypes purveyed in the textbooks were in many cases unfavorable to colored people; the subject matter of the textbooks & syllabuses was orientated towards the activities of British imperialists; it would do little to promote a sympathetic understanding of colored people or the countries from which they come.

The contribution that voluntary organizations can make to social welfare is affected by the fact that the branches of most national organizations are not distributed evenly over the country. The study reported here was carried out for the Wolfenden Committee on Voluntary Organizations in order to examine the extent of this unevenness and to see whether the distribution was random or followed a pattern.
The study was confined to the towns in England and Wales with a population in 1971 of over 50,000. London and the London boroughs were omitted. For each town the following information was obtained: 1) whether each of 22 national voluntary organizations had a branch located in the town; and 2) 26 indicators of economic and social conditions mostly drawn from the 1971 census. The 22 voluntary organizations and the 26 indicators are listed in Appendix 1.
The towns were classified on the basis of the 26 indicators, employing a technique derived from Moser and Scott's British Towns. A computer analysis was used to identify the main underlying factors that seemed to account for most variations in the 26 indicators.

All social welfare systems face a fundamental dilemma in allocating resources. Should the service be universal and go to everyone as with primary education, or should it be selective and go only to those in greatest need as with supplementary benefits? In practice, welfare systems combine both universal and selective elements. Attempts have recently been made to implement another form of resource allocation which might embody the main advantage of selectivity—concentrating resources where they are most needed—without the disadvantage of means-testing and limited take-up. This is the policy of positive discrimination in favour of deprived areas.
An element of positive discrimination has existed for a long time in the rate support grant paid to local authorities, in aspects of regional employment policies, and in slum clearance programmes. However, the Educational Priority Area Programme (EPA) and the subsequent Urban Programme represent new departures, in that the areas (actually schools in the case of EPA) chosen are much smaller than local authorities, and it is assumed that in these areas are concentrated populations who suffer acute and multiple environmental and cultural handicaps.
