After a brief historical sketch of the earlier educ'al systems salient features of the present systems are identified: (1) integration with system of the trusteeship power. In British sphere local autonomy in educ'al policy exists up to the end of the secondary Sch while the French territories are unified with that of France. (2) Degree of educ'al uniformity & methods of control: there is a universal pattern of inspection, an examination system, & defined standards for admission to higher training & employment, & control of teacher training & conditions of service. (3) Appearance of an educ'al ladder: selection for further opportunities utilizes IQ & achievement tests; & (4) universal primary schooling: compulsory educ has become a policy but adequate provision of facilities & teachers still poses problems. Though educ has exerted a powerful force for soc change there are few studies of this relationship. Educ has had a relationship to: (1) occup'al mobility, (2) urbanization, & (3) changes in Ru life: particularly affecting the status of women. Variables by which the impact of educ on soc change in Africa may be measured are suggested. D. L. Levine.
