The article presents a reprint of the research paper which appeared in the Tweed Commissioners Annual Report for 1972 released in April 2, 1973. The paper reflects the results of the study on the growth of the 500 hatchery reared tagged brown trout with an average fork length of 25.0 centimeters which were released into the River Tweed, Scotland on March 29, 1972.

This article presents an overview on the fourth consultation of the European Colloquium on the Sociology of Religion at William Temple College, Rugby, England from April 17-21, 1963. Twenty six people from a dozen countries, including the U.S. and Finland, met for the conference. Canon R. S. O. Stevens of Birmingham, who acted as secretary to the Colloquium, opened the conference, welcoming the visitors and introducing Miss M. Batten, Principal of the College, whose paper Religious Life in Britain in the Post-War Period, proved a fitting beginning, discussing as it did the basis for sociological investigation in the sphere of religion. The following morning, with the Reverend Michael Jackson in the chair, Doctor John Kent, a church historian from Manchester, gave a paper, Sociological Factors in Disunity. His analysis of the history of divisions within the Protestant churches in England was of considerable interest, and his suggestions as to the causes of the present movement towards Anglicanism on the part of Methodists in Britain, were illuminating. Plans for the future were discussed at length, Professor Goldschmidt giving the report for the steering committee. Brief reports on work in progress then followed.

The paper describes the development of the trout fishery at Grafham Water, and considers the various factors having a bearing on the changing nature of the fishery as the lake becomes more mature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents the research paper which reflects on methods used by the Freshwater Biological Association to reduce the number of pike in Lake Windermere, England. Pikes reduced the food for the trouts, which are the most important fishes in the lake. The study found out that the long lining method caught more pikes but also eels and trout which could not be returned alive.

This article cites a study that reported on a disease resembling corky ringspot of potato caused by tobacco rattle virus (TRV) in parts of the U.S. in Yorkshire, England. The ringspot symptoms were closely associated with TRV, although varietal reactions did not always correspond. Likewise, varietal reactions did not always correspond with those caused by potato mop top virus. A condition similar to the canker type of internal rust spot was present in some tubers bearing ringspots. In the test reported in this paper, the control cultivar was changed from Pentland Dell to Pentland Ivory because of the susceptibility to tuber blight in the former.

The paper analyzes penetration of total solar, T, near infrared and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). PAR, measured by tube solarimeters at Rothamsted, England in five different crops, includes sugar beet, field beans, kale, and spring wheat. The measurements are used to obtain the sunfleck parameters in Monteith's theory. Crop transmission parameters calculated from the daily radiation totals changed little when crop cover was full.

The article presents information on the gage of land in medieval England. The English gage of land with possession of the debtor until default is to all seeming developed later than the gage with immediate possession of the creditor; the origin of this later form of security for loans being directly connected with the history of the process of judicial execution. It will be seen that whether the medieval creditor take immediate possession or only on default of the debtor, the principle is the same. In either case the security is a usufructgage or it is a property-gage, or it is indeed a combination of the two. Though the tracing of the development down to the present lies beyond the scope of the present paper, it is believed that this very same conception lies at the basis of much of the modern English law.

The author of this paper, Secretary to a London Juvenile Advisory Committee, compares the methods of vocational guidance used in London with those which she found in Berlin. It will be noted that in Berlin the vocational psychologist is engaged in solving problems of selection rather than of guidance : he is usually asked to determine by a series of tests of abilities whether and, if so, in what degree a given child appears fitted for one specified occupation. The vocational adviser refers to the psychologist only about ten per cent. of the applicants for guidance—mainly cases where there is conflict of opinion or indecision or where skilled apprenticeship is under consideration.

This paper examines the proposition advanced by some commentators that divorce petitioning in England and Wales fluctuates in accordance with the changing real value of legal aid. Direct evidence, from divorce figures and details of legal aid provision, is examined and shown not to fit the hypothesis. Indirect evidence drawn from Magistrates' Court proceedings and income provision by the National Assistance Board also fails to support the proposition. It is concluded that the proposition is false, and that increased divorce petitioning reflects more fundamental social changes than amendments to legal aid provision. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The first section of the paper criticizes the concept of inconsistency between status ranks as an explanation of variations in attitudes and behaviour between different groups. The second section argues that the concept of relative deprivation may, if appropriately qualified, prove more useful and suggests a possible application of it to the topic of attitudes towards immigrants. The third section presents some findings from a sample survey carried out in England and Wales in 1962 which furnish a limited test of two proposed hypotheses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper explores the role problems of the Anglican clergyman in various levels such as the level of the total society, the organisational level and the local community level. There have been a number of changes going on in England in the twentieth century that have affected the authority of the clergyman in contemporary society. Clergy are no longer the major group exercising an influence over the normative orientations of the general public. The major dilemma for the churches is how far if at all, to change the basic theological beliefs and the expression of these in order to make the claims of Christianity comprehensible to modern people. Clergy do apply moral concepts to human actions, something which the professional counsellors are supposed to avoid at all costs. There are two major points about the nature of the Church of England which affects all Anglican clergymen in England in their roles as parish priests. One of these is cultural, that is, theological and the other is structural, about the organisational structure of the Church of England. The parish system suffers under conditions of more rapid social change, social and geographical mobility, in the same way as other locally based organisational structures do such as local government. Anglicanism is characterised by a lack of consensus among its members, both clerical and lay, about the nature of the church, the role of sacraments and the type of worship a clergyman should perform.

The article presents information about the papers that appeared in the January 2, 1962 issue of the journal "Social Compass." In every national and cultural situation, the relationship between sociology and religion is, in one way or another, of primary importance, the interaction between religion and society assumes, in social living its peculiar and specific forms of expression. The authors from the U.S., England, West Germany and Holland who have collaborated in the present issue of the journal "Social Compass," consider principally the way in which religious and philosophical values take shape in society. Considering the countries that they come from, it is not surprising that these sociologists lay particular stress on the influence that Catholic and Protestant confessions and denominations have on social life. It is in Dutch studies in the sociology of religion especially that the vertical pluralism that conforms to religious and ecclesiastical lines of demarcation, has been subjected to closest analysis.

The article reports that wolf traps have been used by fishery workers to monitor the runs of migratory salmonids in England. The construction of wolf traps, particularly the designs, materials and procedure is discoursed. This paper sets out to demonstrate the use of traps as part of the Severn river Authority's program of salmon propagation.

Information about several papers discussed at the annual report of the annual study course and annual general meeting held at the University of York in England on July 17-19, 1989 is presented. The event was attended by 112 people and out of these delegates, 45 comes from river authorities. The annual study course featured several speakers including D. Fleming Jones, Then T. Bagenal, and M. Brooker.

Presents information on an international symposium on ecology to de held from July 7 to July 9, 1970 at the University of East Anglia in East Anglia, England. Subjects for which organizers of the symposium invited papers; Details of post-symposium tours organized by the British Ecological Society.

This article explains the misunderstandings of the civil law. A rule of law that has been gradually developed can only be understood by knowing the course of its development; and that is more or less known by good lawyers, if the rule took its rise in England. So far as the American jurisprudence reaches back to an earlier date, there are the same reasons for tracing it to its source. Again, not only would it be hard to name any one who has thrown new light on such general problems of jurisprudence as the arrangement of the law, who has not known something of the labors of the civilians; but the paper tries to show that an ignorant misunderstanding of the Roman classification has led to confusion.

The article presents information on proceedings of the Clinical Section of the Society of Analytical psychology in London, England from October 1959 to June 1960. On February 1, 1960, R. Gordon presented his research paper "Reflections on the Existence of a Death Instinct and its Relation to the Self." On March 14-21, 1960, J. Jacobi held discussion on his research paper "The Case of a Young Engineer."

The article focuses on occupational training programs for sales assistants in a retail store in London. The program consisted of 40 teaching frames together with a set of graded practice bills. It included instructions on how to fill in a bill, on the cash and despatch systems, and on the use of the delivery guide. Each item was presented on a separate piece of paper of the same size as the bill form because these forms were used at various points in the program. Correct answers were given on separate sheets immediately after each item. This method of presentation focuses attention on one program item at a time and it makes it easy to check responses because there is no risk of distraction by program items during the checking process. Almost all of the frames required a written response and the instructions emphasized careful checking of each response. The program was made up in the form of a pad of sheets held in a ring binder attached to a frame. Results were obtained from testing trainees after the final version of the program had become part of routine induction training.
