News Notes and Announcements.

Approximately 75 rural sociologists who attended the annual meeting of the American Sociological Society were called into attend the special session conducted by Dr. George von Tungeln, Chairman of the Section on Rural Sociology, to hear the report of a special committee appointed in December, 1936, to consider ways and means of better organization for rural sociologists. The committee suggested certain changes to article VIII, Section 2 amendment of the American Sociological Society. The modified amendment now states that "A section of the society shall be composed of members of the society interested in a common field of sociological specialization, or may consist of an independent society or association devoted to a special field of sociology, a majority of whose members are members of the American Sociological Society. The constitution or by-laws of such an independent association must specify that it is a section of the American Sociological Society. Sections shall meet annually during the time of, and in the same city as the annual meeting of the Society."
