SOCIAL participation ,NEIGHBORHOODS ,CENSUS districts ,FORMAL groups - Abstract
This paper reports part of a study of social participation conducted in San Francisco in the spring of 1953. The investigation rested upon two main notions: First, that the major an individual occupies regulate the amount and nature of his participation in society. Second, that the social type of neighborhood in which an urbanite lives is an efficient indicator of his social participation and may be a significant factor in its own right in shaping his social participation. This paper is limited to an examination of the relationship between amount of formal association participation and certain of the individual status and neighborhood differences. Using the census tract scores, four census tracts were selected in San Francisco in which the study of social participation was conducted. Findings revealed that, men living in the high economic status neighborhoods belong to the greater number of associations, attend more frequently, and hold office more than men living in low economic status neighborhoods. Comparing the two high economic status neighborhoods, the low family status neighborhood contains relatively more men who belong to no formal associations, who never attend meetings if they do belong, and who do not. hold office than does the high family status neighborhood.

RUMOR ,POLITICAL change ,CONFERENCES & conventions - Abstract
This article presents information regarding political development in the U.S. To appoint a new secretary of state a fortnight before the opening of the San Francisco Conference would have been practically impossible, but it would have been still more harmful to allow any diminution of his prestige while the conference was still under way. A new crisis developed in San Francisco last week-end as a result of Russia's opposition to the formula, worked out, by the Big Five, for diminishing the veto right of the major powers. Insight into the Australian Government's struggle at San Francisco for a full-employment clause in the United Nations Charter is provided in a White Paper just issued at Canberra.

9. VARIATION AND MYTH IN THE SOCIAL STATUS OF TEACHERS.

SOCIAL status ,TEACHERS ,SOCIAL classes ,CLUSTER analysis (Statistics) - Abstract
This paper has attempted to explore the variations in the social class of teachers and the validity of the common generalization that teachers come from the middle class. It has been argued, on the basis of the new data presented and the deficient methodology of prominent studies purporting to show that 92 to 98 per cent of all teachers are middle class, that a myth has been created about the social class status of teachers. Further, it has been demonstrated that one is not judicious in the use of language to refer to teachers as a single class of objects in regard to social class. The social class of two samples of teachers in the San Francisco Bay Area was determined by cluster analysis of characteristics of the census tract of residence. Sample I, utilizing the address of parent to determine social class origin of new teachers showed that: 1. Teachers have origins at all levels of the social class continuum. 2. Teachers over-represent the whole top half and under- represent the whole bottom half of the social class continuum. 3. Approximately thirty-six per cent of the teachers in the sample do not have origin in the middle social class. 4. Various categories of teachers differ in terms of their social class composition. As a category, male secondary teachers are lowest in terms of social class origin with about forty-eight per cent originating in the lower classes. Female elementary teachers are highest in social class origin with about twenty-three per cent originating in the lower class, about seventy-four per cent in the middle class and about four per cent in the upper class.

MEETINGS ,SPECIALISTS ,SECRETARIES - Abstract
From time to time since the opening of the Conference it has been proclaimed in plenary sessions or in official communiqués that a great victory had been won for China. From time to time the papers have recorded that "this was an historic day for China." An impression has been created in the minds of all but Far Eastern specialists that something really has been done to remove the causes of international friction in the Far East. As a matter of fact what has been done in the concrete would not have warranted more than the summoning of second secretaries of legation to a meeting in Tientsin, Yokohama, or San Francisco.
