The article presents information on the North American conference on the social implications of industrialization and technological change. The conference, sponsored jointly by UNESCO, the United States and Canadian National Commissions for UNESCO, and the University of Chicago, was held in Chicago, Illinois from September 15 to 22, 1960. Twenty-four technical papers prepared and distributed in advance were discussed during the conference. In addition, a series of some twelve working papers surveying the research results for the major regions of the world on the topic of the conference were assembled and distributed to participants by the Research Office of the International Social Science Council. The various aspects of the social implications of industrialization were dealt with quite fully in the technical papers and at the several sessions of the conference. The discussion of the specific social implications of industrialization started with what some would regard as the fundamentals, the human motivation to make constructive innovations. The papers and discussions seem to warrant certain conclusions with regard to research strategies and procedures, on the one hand, and major gaps in reliable knowledge, on the other.

The article presents information on the launch of an elementary science program in the public schools of Chicago, Illinois, in the year 1928. There were no specific courses of study organized for any particular subjects at that point of time. The theory was based upon the assumption that each teacher would develop initiative which would result in an improvement in his teaching that in turn would reflect in the quality of work done by his students. Chicago has been gradually tuning its school system from an eight-year elementary school, four-year senior-high school system, into the 6-3-3 plan of organization involving the use of the elementary school, junior-high school and senior-high school. Also, there are some schools in Chicago which have not got success in establishing a satisfactory program of elementary science.

This study examines the Chicago automobile insurance market during 1970 to determine the effect of the Illinois competitive rating law on insurer conduct. A set of requisites to workable competition is set forth and the market examined within this framework. While the criteria for workable competition include a necessary condition of enough independent supplying units, emphasis is placed on the sufficiency condition of competitive conduct. The review of conduct includes pricing, product innovation, and distribution efficiency. Information on insurer conduct was obtained from data on file at the Illinois Department of Insurance and from the responses of insurers and Chicago agents to a mailed questionnaire. The study concludes that insurer conduct was compatible with the legislative target of a long run improvement in property-liability insurance availability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article compares the patterns of criminal homicide in Chicago, Illinois and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This analysis is designed to provide evidence concerning a point raised by Wolfgang (1958: 5) regarding his study: ''Whether the general or specific conclusions regarding criminal homicide in Philadelphia may be projected beyond the present ... remains the task of future research to confirm or deny." The general hypothesis underlying this analysis is that the relationships found in Wolfgang's investigation of criminal homicide in Philadelphia will be observed in a similar analysis in another metropolitan city in the U.S., Chicago. Eight tests of this hypothesis are presented; these involve comparisons of the criminal homicides in Chicago and Philadelphia in terms of the race and sex of the victims and offenders, the extent of interracial and cross-sex homicides, the method of inflicting death, the temporal pattern, location of the offense, involvement of intoxicants, the previous victim-offender relationship, and the incidence of victim-precipitated criminal homicides.
