The article presents information on the report of the Exploratory Committee of the American Economic Association on honors and awards. According to the report, the following types of award might be considered by the American Economic Association. First, for long, faithful, and useful service to the Association. Second, for the best paper contributed to the Proceedings at a given annual meeting-perhaps with some description of the yardstick to be used in defining "best." Third, for distinguished contributions to the development of the science of economics. fourth, for noteworthy contributions to the advancement of the science of economics in a specified period and fifth, for unique and original contributions to the development of the methodology of economics-with a specific period specified or not specified. The Committee does not believe that it is practicable to make an award for the best paper contributed to the Proceedings at a given annual meeting as the need for speed of action, the short time prospective, and the subjective character of value judgments make such an award difficult in the extreme to administer satisfactorily.

The purpose of this article is to survey current knowledge of conference procedure to discover if whether transfers of technique may be made from general conference procedure to the special problems of social science research as an aid to postwar planning. Much emphasis has been placed in the past twenty years upon the need and possibilities of so-called cooperative research in the social sciences. There have been many conferences of specialists in the social sciences of economics, political science, sociology and statistics. Anthropologists, geographers, historians and psychologists also have participated. The conference method has become a device widely used in attempts to advance research in the social sciences. Conferences on social science research have usually been small or comparatively small in the number of persons who participated, if one excludes from consideration, as is done in this article, the huge national learned society annual meetings. The field of study excludes from consideration large conferences such as conventions and congresses.

The article highlights the International Conference of the International Missionary Council held in LeZoute, Belgium from September 14 to 20, 1926. The conference marks a decided advance over anything yet attempted in coordinating and strengthening the forces working for a Christian civilization in Africa. Previous to the conference, a special African number of the International Review of Missions was brought out with a remarkable collection of able papers from different viewpoints, Natives, South African whites, missionaries, scholars, and government officials. This number is itself a contribution to Africa with its informing discussions of the many phases of the task confronting Christian civilization in Africa. The conference was composed of over two hundred persons representing first of all, the missionaries themselves, engaged in the various parts of Africa, second, missionary societies and boards responsible for the missionary policy, and third, representatives of various governments. The meetings were presided over by Dr. Donald Fraser, and the program was carefully planned by J. H. Oldham, Secretary of the International Missionary Council. To their wise planning and balanced judgment was due in no small measure the fact that so many persons, with a great variety of opinions, could sit together for a week and spend their time in profitable discussion of the things of common interest to all, and in general, to avoid needless controversial issues.

The article presents proceedings of the American Association for Public Opinion Research. The success of the ninth annual conference of the American Association for Public Opinion Research, held in April 1954 in New Jersey, was a tribute to the splendid work of Helen Dinerman, general chairman, and her aides; and to the program participants. The reports presented are the product of the joint efforts of a team of session analysts who functioned as reporters to digest and summarize significant elements in the content of the various program sessions. Students of public opinion formation are entering a third stage. It is one of "bringing back" the theories and principles developed during the first, or philosophical, stage to help give the mass of factual material accumulated during the second, or fact-finding stage, greater understanding and predictive value. That this decidedly does not mean a re-ascent "to the clouds," was demonstrated by the six contributors to this session.

The article presents information about the Fourth Annual Conference on Public Opinion Research that took place in Ithaca, New York from June 19-22, 1949.

The article also contains a condensation of proceedings of their conference documents which in a variety of ways points up directions in which the academicians on one side and the commercial practitioners on the other must continue to work together for the common development of the profession.
