Within the past ten years the vocabulary of political sociology has been augmented by the addition of the word 'populism'. Its general acceptance has yet to be achieved; but in the past five years its use has spread enormously. The purpose of the paper is to provide a brief 'biography' of the concept of 'populism', examining the changing way in which the word has come to be used in its lifetime. It is argued that the confusion which has attended the growth in its use is not merely a semantic problem, arising from the inability of various writers to define their terms, but an important indicator of the nature of the phenomenon. The major difficulty is seen as lying in the lack of an acceptable general theoretical framework within which to handle the political development of peasant societies. The notion of such societies as 'part-societies', widespread in current anthropology, is examined as a possible starting point for such a general framework. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents an author's comment to the review of their book entitled "Psychology and Education of the Gifted." Problems arise as papers appear in an entirely different context from which they were originally intended. The reviewer evaluated the various individual papers in the book as though carrying the authors beyond what is considered an appropriate behavior for an editor. Although, the author was grateful to the editor for the selection of such a careful and considerate reviewer and for the opportunity to append these afterthoughts.

The article focuses on issues related to the publication of the journal "Southwestern Social Science Quarterly," for the period from June 1944-March 1945. The journal has published 22 papers, 30 reviews of books and a number of brief notes on books not given full length reviews. Seven papers dealt with current situations in the Southwestern area of the U.S. Sixteen articles were written by people whose professional relations were largely within the same region.

The article presents discusses that the paper "Reliability, Chance and Fantasy in Inter-Judge Agreement Among Clinicians" published in the July 1954 issue of the periodical deserves the most careful attention from all experimenters using small sample statistical because it points up grave inadequacies which are overlooked frequently in uncritical research design. Any person with long experience with games of chance will be aware of certain vagaries in statistical tendencies, which may grossly distort the characteristics of small samples of data taken in isolation from the long-term trends of the factors under study. Every elementary textbook in statistics contains illustrations of the apparent skewing which may occur with sampling inadequacies but which are smoothed out with collection of a sufficiently large sampling of data to eliminate atypical samplings.

The article presents information for authors who want their research work to be published in the journal "Transportation Science." The submission of a manuscript is taken to be the author's representation that the manuscript has not been published or accepted for publication in books or recognized journals and is not currently under consideration by another journal. Manuscripts for publication and Letters to the Editor should be submitted to the Editor either directly or to one of the Associate Editors. Tables may be typed on sheets separated from the text. Manuscripts must be double-spaced throughout with the original in typewritten or equally legible form. Figures are required in a form suitable for photographic reproduction. Any one of a number of forms will be acceptable, e.g., original black ink drawings, or high-quality glossy prints. In mathematical expressions, authors are requested in general to minimize unusual or expensive typographical requirements. Authors should strive for conciseness and clarity. References to related previous work should be reasonably complete, consecutively numbered, and grouped at the end of the paper.
