NOTES FROM THE ANNUAL MEETING.

The article presents information on activities of various associations related to social sciences. Nine Texas colleges and universities were represented at the opening session, a breakfast arranged by the Texas Association of University Instructors in Accounting, the only such organization in America. They were hosts to representatives from six other states. At the Joint Session with Sociology it was emphasized that accounting is not only ethically essential to assure honest application of monies entrusted to social agencies, but that the accountants' technique of profit and loss calculation is essentially a means of evaluating favorable and unfavorable features of any situation, and if imaginatively applied, might be an addition to sociological research technique for identification of dependent areas of cities, or of states in such problems as that of relief and old age assistance administration. The prevailing uncertainty or confusion within long established state administrative units, with respect to their effort in assisting with the administration of the newer social legislation, was contrasted by the Texas Assistant State Auditor with their existing ability and readiness to help whenever the state legislatures decide to so assist and provide added funds to enlarge the investigational staff.
