The article compares government sponsored services and programs in Great Britain and Germany aimed at the care, infrastructure for, and education of children under three years old. The article concludes that this social investment in early childhood is rationalized in economic terms in both Great Britain and Germany, but that child care policies have different aims that reflect divergent national traditions.

Particular attention is paid to British attempts to transfer conceptions of civilized life to colonies in India. Descriptions are given of the political aspects of the emotionality ascribed to colonized nations in the British Empire by their colonizers. Further comments are made concerning the perception of emotional differences and the use of this perception to judge the social development of a colonized nation.

This article re-examines what historian Angus Calder has called the Myth of the Blitz, focussing upon the figure central to this Myth - the child asleep in the Underground. Images by Bill Brandt and Henry Moore are considered, as well as material by Graham Greene and Elizabeth Bowen, in order to understand a seminal moment in the history of modern British culture: the formation of a new, modernist aesthetic that was to play an integral part in the post-war transformation of the UK.

The article presents information on contributions to the discussion on urbanization. The process of urbanization began in Great Britain earlier than in most countries. The problems and the pressures are probably greater. Since 1900 the urban area of England and Wales has increased by 80 percent. Fifteen new towns have been built in the countryside since World War II. Many others have been officially expanded. Almost all towns of 50.000 persons and over are bristling their boundaries and thousands of new, private-enterprise, homes are spreading over the countryside. A present-day industrial enterprise commonly spreads over up to 1200 acres of land. Contrast this with a nineteenth century factory. If the 50 million people of England and Wales were housed at the density-rate adopted for new towns it should need 50 million acres for housing purposes alone.
