Millikan—Teacher and Friend

Editors Note: As a result of support by Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, the American Association of Physics Teachers has established an annual lectureship, named in honor of Robert A. Millikan. It is anticipated that this will bring to each summer meeting of the Association a physicist who will speak on a topic of current interest and that the summer meeting will thus have a feature comparable with the Richtmyer Lecture at the annual meeting. The committee responsible for the first Millikan Lecture chose H. V. Neher, long time associate of Millikan. This highly suitable choice was as appropriate as was Neher's choice of a topic—Millikan himself. The editors of the American Journal of Physics are grateful for permission to publish this pleasantly informal biographical lecture, spiced as it is with personal reminiscences.

The Relation of Physics to Other Sciences

Through the courtesy of the Addison-Wesley Publishing Company of Reading, Massachusetts we are able to publish one of the opening chapters of the Feynman Lectures in Physics. This is a new book based on the lectures given by Dr. Feynman in the introductory course at the California Institute of Technology. A second chapter of this refreshingly different but delightfully rigorous introduction to college physics will be published later.

Social Status, Attitudes Toward Pregancy and Child-Rearing Attitudes

review of studies of social class and child-rearing behavior reveals a recurring pattern of inconsistent and contradictory findings. This paper reports the findings of a study of child-rearing attitudes expressed by women during the course of their pregnancies. data suggest that child-rearing attitudes may be more closely associated with attitudes toward pregnancy than with social class. These findings are discussed in relation to other investigations insofar as existing contradictory findings might be explained from a conceptual rather than a methodological perspective. T Xhere has been a continuing and growing interest in both the social sources and consequences of child-rearing attitudes and practices over the past two decades. Investigations in this area have ranged from those which view child-rearing attitudes as a function of the general cultural milieu, ethos of the society, or other variations on the national character theme,1 to those with a more microscopic perspective which focus upon factors such as family structure, avowed desire for children, or the psychological attributes of the family member.2 Lying somewhere between these two ex*This is a revised and expanded version of a paper presented at the Annual Meetings of the American Sociological Association, August 1961, St. Louis, Missouri.
