California’s push for universal pre-K
Policy makers in California intend to provide free preschool to all 4-year-olds solely within public schools by 2026, becoming the nation’s second largest single pre-K program in the United States after Head Start. This initiative builds on the state’s existing Transitional Kindergarten (TK) option that has served a modest share of 4-year-olds since 2010. Tracing the historical growth in TK enrollments, we find that just 30, mostly urban school d…
Sociology
An Effective Demand Conception of History
Since the beginning of the nineteenth century the interpretation of economic events by historians and sociologists has been dominated by the rival, materialist conceptions of history, the Malthusian and the Marxian. Neither of these provides a satisfactory explanation of the historically remarkable, demographic revolution of the past 200 years, and its precursor, the agricultural revolution. When, however, the Malthusian emphasis on demand is com…

Studies of medical students in this country and in America have shown that not only their career expectations but their general perception of what it is to be a professional medical man are developed over time through their contact with university teachers of medicine. In America in particular as they worked their way through the four years of the teaching programme medical students became rather more interested in following specialist causes and…

The British Sociological Association-The First Fifteen Years
Founded in 1951, largely on the initiative of a number of University professors from a variety of social sciences, the B.S.A. was conceived at the outset as a meeting place of the disciplines. Although a minority view in favour of sociology as a specialism and a profession was expressed at the very first Annual General Meeting, the original conception has prevailed for the greater part of the association's history hitherto. Only with the great ex…
Feminism and Family Planning in Victorian England
Having demonstrated that their economic aspirations and circumstances were a necessary but not a sufficient cause for the onset of family limitation by the English upper and middle classes, another suggested explanation, the emancipation of women, is examined in this study. This shows how the feminists were little involved in the family limitation campaigns, and concludes that such emancipation was less important than the rising standard of livin…

Veblen and Industrial Sociology
r rHORSTEIN VEBLEN was born in I857 and died in I929. His life thus falls within that period of 'convergent theoretical . development' in sociology which Parsons regards as constituting 'a major revolution in the scientific analysis of social phenomena'.1 His first important work, the Theory of the Leisure Class, was published six years after the Division of Labour and two years after Suicide. His second, the Theory of Business Enterprtse, which …

Class and Class Conflict in Industrial Society
In the middle of the twentieth century, the sociologist finds himself in an awkward position.While he is just beginning to lay and secure the foundations of his discipline, an impatient public demands with increasing urgency both immediately applicable and comprehen- sive solutions from him.Following almost every sociological confer- ence, confident journalists charge sociologists with being either igno- rant of practical problems or incapable of…
