The M. H. Ross Papers contain information pertaining to labor, politics, social issues of the twentieth century, coal mining and its resulting lifestyle, as well as photographs and audio materials. The collection is made up of five different accessions; L2001-05, which is contained in boxes one through 104, L2002-09 in boxes 106 through 120, L2006-16 in boxes 105 and 120, L2001-01 in boxes 120-121, and L2012-20 in boxes 122-125. The campaign materials consist of items from the 1940 and 1948 political campaigns in which Ross participated. These items include campaign cards, posters, speech transcripts, news clippings, rally materials, letters to voters, and fliers. Organizing and arbitration materials covers labor organizing events from "Operation Dixie" in Georgia, the furniture workers in North Carolina, and the Mine-Mill workers in the Western United States. Organizing materials include fliers, correspondence, news articles, radio transcripts, and some related photos. Arbitration files consist of agreements, decisions, and agreement booklets. The social and political research files cover a wide time period (1930's to the late 1970's/early 1980's). The topics include mainly the Ku Klux Klan, racism, Communism, Red Scare, red baiting, United States history, and literature. These files consist mostly of news and journal articles. Ross interacted with coal miners while doing work for the United Mine Workers Association (UMWA) and while working at the Fairmont Clinic in West Virginia. Included in these related files are books, news articles, journals, UMWA reports, and coal miner oral histories conducted by Ross. Tying in to all of the activities Ross participated in during his life were his research and manuscript files. He wrote numerous newspaper and journal articles on history and labor. Later, as he worked for the UMWA and at the Fairmont Clinic, he wrote more in-depth articles about coal miners, their lifestyle, and medical problems they faced (while the Southern Labor Archives has many of Ross's coal mining and lifestyle articles, it does not have any of his medical articles). Along with these articles are the research files Ross collected to write them, which consist of notes, books, and newspaper and journal articles. In additional to his professional career, Ross was adamant about documenting his and his wife's family history in the oral history format. Of particular interest are the recordings of his interviews with his wife's family - they were workers, musicians, and singers of labor and folk songs. Finally, in this collection are a number of photographs and slides, which include images of organizing, coal mining (from the late 19th through 20th centuries), and Appalachia. Of note is a small photo album from the 1930s which contains images from the Summer School for Workers, and more labor organizing. A few audio items are available as well, such as Ross political speeches and an oral history in which Ross was interviewed by his daughter, Jane Ross Davis in 1986. All photographic and audio-visual materials are at the end of their respective series. ; Myron Howard "Mike" Ross was born November 9, 1919 in New York City. He dropped out of school when he was seventeen and moved to Texas, where he worked on a farm. From 1936 until 1939, Ross worked in a bakery in North Carolina. In the summer of 1938, he attended the Southern School for Workers in Asheville, North Carolina. During the fall of 1938, Ross would attend the first Southern Conference on Human Welfare in Birmingham, Alabama. He would attend this conference again in 1940 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. From 1939 to 1940, Ross worked for the United Mine Workers Non-Partisan League in North Carolina, working under John L. Lewis. He was hired as a union organizer by the United Mine Workers of America, and sent to Saltville, Virginia and Rockwood, Tennessee. In 1940, Ross ran for a seat on city council on the People's Platform in Charlotte, North Carolina. During this time, he also married Anne "Buddie" West of Kennesaw, Georgia. From 1941 until 1945, Ross served as an infantryman for the United States Army. He sustained injuries near the Battle of the Bulge in the winter of 1944. From 1945 until 1949, Ross worked for the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers, then part of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO), as a union organizer. He was sent to Macon, Georgia, Savannah, Georgia and to Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where he worked with the United Furniture Workers Union. He began handling arbitration for the unions. In 1948, Ross ran for United States Congress on the Progressive Party ticket in North Carolina. He also served as the secretary for the North Carolina Progressive Party. Ross attended the University of North Carolina law school from 1949 to 1952. He graduated with honors but was denied the bar on the grounds of "character." From 1952 until 1955, he worked for the Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers as a union organizer, first in New Mexico (potash mines) and then in Arizona (copper mines). From 1955 to 1957, Ross attended the Columbia University School of Public Health. He worked for the United Mine Workers of America Welfare and Retirement Fund from 1957 to 1958, where he represented the union in expenditure of health care for mining workers. By 1958, Ross began plans for what would become the Fairmont Clinic, a prepaid group practice in Fairmont, West Virginia, which had the mission of providing high quality medical care for miners and their families. From 1958 until 1978, Ross served as administrator of the Fairmont Clinic. As a result of this work, Ross began researching coal mining, especially coal mining lifestyle, heritage and history of coal mining and disasters. He would interview over one hundred miners (coal miners). Eventually, Ross began writing a manuscript about the history of coal mining. Working for the Rural Practice Program of the University of North Carolina from 1980 until 1987, Ross taught in the medical school. M. H. Ross died on January 31, 1987 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. ; Digitization of the M. H. Ross Papers was funded by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission.

"Truly the history of North-West Canada is contained in the iron vaults of the Department of the Interior." In sixteen short clauses an act of the Parliament of the Dominion of Canada in 1873 provided for the establishment of the Department of the Interior. The brevity and directness of this act, is expressive of the sanguine spirit of the Government in its approach to the tremendous task of incorporating a primitive area into the framework of the new trans-continental economic and political system being erected. The system, based on three national economic policies, settlement of the North-West, transcontinental transportation through all-Canadian territory, and industrialization by protective tariffs, was to falter seriously because of the Great Depression which stemmed the flow of the world economy until 1896. The Department of the Interior, born just weeks before the advent of this universal calamity, seems to have been inbued with the courage and confidence which marked the boom days of its nativity. In ten years it had so prepared the path in the North-West, that the national policies of settlement and transcontinental transportation could progress, essentially unhindered by local impediments.

This issue covers the retirement of the department's oldest employee, department policies on employee political activity, and the dedication of a new District Headquarters at Detroit Lakes. Minnesota Highways was the official employee newsletter of the Minnesota Department of Highways (1951-1976).

If we were to expose and discuss what the several historians had written about the causes of the French Revolution, the time of a lecture or the space of an article would not be sufficient. It is for this reason that we are going to leave apart all the particular views of the authors singularly taken and contenting ourselves of the short bibliography mentioned in the foot-note (1), we intend classifying the causes which they mention into categories, viz : 1. Social causes: class interest and social distinction; :3. Administrative and Juridical causes: faulty administrative system, and confusion of courts and laws; a. Religious causes: Protestantism, Gallican theories and Jansenistic opposition; 4. Philosophic and Anarchic: causes: Illuministic movement and Ma.sonic propaganda; 5. Political causes: King~s weakness and appalling financial plight; 6. Constitutional causes: all-pervading idea of the people's sovereignty and the desire for a change in the form of government. ; N/A

PROBLEoMf eSconomic policy for static models are characterized by the fact that in the usual system of equations describing the structure of such models the role of unknown and known variables has been inverted, wholly or partially. In the political problem unknom-ns are the numerical values of a number of political parameters, whereas a number of "economic variables" in the old sense are now given targets. In order that a certain set of target values be attainable by a certain type of economic policy (i.e., by the choice of a certain number of instruments) the number of equations must be equal to the number of unknown political parameters plus, as the case may be, those unknown economic variables that are not chosen as targets. Various logical situations may present themselves, the simplest being the situation just indicated. If the number of equations is too small, the economic policy aimed at is inconsistent or contradictory; if it is too large, the policy is indeterminate and the target has to be specified more exactly.

A CAJM article on the role of humanities in medical science. ; The word science is derived from the Latin scientia, which means knowledge. There are many compartments of science such as moral, political and natural, but the word "science" in its modern sense means an organised body of knowledge. Natural science is that which comes from awareness of the material environment in which we live. It is gained firstly by observation and also from the results of experiments which may be defined as situations planned to test the truth of an hypothesis. The words "truth" and "logic" prepare us for the idea of the "scientific method," which is a system of accurate reasoning whereby knowledge becomes objectively exact.
