Missouri Economics Course is Specifically for J-Majors

EDITOR'S NOTE: Journalism graduates are often criticized for their failure to understand economic systems and for their inability to relate business developments and problems to readers, listeners and viewers. The criticism becomes more pointed when journalism graduates are promoted to administrative and management positions in the media. The specialized economic analysis course described here by Prof. Auten of the University of Missouri-Columbia Department of Economics is aimed at this problem. The course description won the International Paper Company Foundation Award in Economic Education in a program co-sponsored by the Joint Committee on Economic Education. As reported late in the article, the course has proved popular with journalism students, too. A student evaluation score placed the course in the 99th percentile among all courses at the University of Missouri-Columbia. Among those who contributed significantly to the development of the course were Dean Roy M. Fisher of the University of Missouri School of Journalism and Richard Wallace, Lyle Harris and Janet Auten.

PREFACE

The symposium that follows brought together individuals from varied professional spheres, all of whom have evidenced deep concern and expertise in recognizing, caring about, and preventing abuse and neglect of children. The purpose of the symposium was several fold: 1.To present in a cohesive form the present knowledge concerning etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of the abused child. 2. To present in some detail the legal as well as the medical and social methods of handling the problem. 3. To illustrate current and possille future approaches to the handling of the child and family involved. 4. To allow those involved in the field to have the opportunity to direct questions and problems to the gathered group of experts. While much of the material concerning law and social agencies relates to New York state and city, the implications for other parts of the nation are self-evident. The symposium was organized by Dr. Edmund N. Jovner, III, in his capacity as Chairman of the Special Committee on Child Welfare of the Medical Society of the County of New York. Assisting Dr. Joyner in this effort were the members of his committee as well as Mrs. Ruth Altman, secretary to the committee, and Mr. David Beiles, public relations representative for the Medical Society of the County of New York. The sponsor of the Symposium, the Medical Society of the County of New York, was given generous financial support by the Edwin Gould Foundation for Children, New York, Mead Johnson and Company, Evansville, Indiana, and Ross Laboratories, Columbus, Ohio, which made possible the presentation and subsequent publication of this symposium.

The Social Responsibilities of Business: Company and Community, 1900-1960

The concept of the social responsibility of business has roots in the Puritan doctrine of stewardship as well as the nineteenth-century gospel of wealth, but business leaders only began to consider community welfare as a whole in the context of their corporate aspirations of the latter half of the twentieth century. Originally appearing in 1970, The Social Responsibilities of Business surveys the history of corporate actions in pursuit of social responsibility, and attempts to assess likely developments. Reissued in 1988 by Transaction with a new introduction by the author and now available in paperback, the volume provides Morrel Heald the opportunity to evaluate his earlier predictions and identify prospects for further development in the area of corporate social responsibility. Some of Heald's predictions have not yet come to fruition, and he reflects upon the reasons. No effective structure yet exists to permit an open exchange of views and needs between business and representatives of its various constituencies. In addition, two of Heald's earlier suggestions have not taken root in the way he anticipated--the company foundation, and the corporate social audit-and he assesses why they have not, and what opportunities they still provide. The Social Responsibilities of Business provides essential back ground for understanding the developing social role of the corporation and for assessing its future direction.

Denmark in China 1839–65: A pawn in a British game

Abstract Denmark's trading connections with China date back to the seventeenth century, but it was not until the establishment of Asiatisk Kompagni (the Danish Asiatic Company) in 1732 that they became at all regular. In the period between the Company's foundation and the outbreak of war with England in 1807, 124 ships were sent to China; imported Chinese products were the basis of the trade, and of course the Danish market was too small to absorb such a volume of business. The China trade was therefore primarily a transit trade with Copenhagen as the entrepôt: conditions for this were particularly favourable during periods of war between the European great powers when, by virtue of their neutrality, Danish ships were able to take over a major share in supplying the north-west European market. The war of 1807–14 with England, however, entirely changed both the external political and the internal economic conditions for the continuation of this traffic. Thus the exceptionally large-scale and, by Danish standards, profitable operations of Asiatisk Kompagni in the eighteenth century were emphatically a passing phenomenon produced by the peculiar business conditions of the time.1

ACS Award in the Chemistry of Milk sponsored by the Borden Company Foundation, Inc.

Vision as far-reaching as the open plains of Oklahoma where he works distinguishes this year's recipient of the ACS Award in the Chemistry of Milk. Dr. Kurt E. Ebner of Oklahoma State University has been recognized for his important discovery that lactose synthetase requires two proteins, A and B, for enzymic activity. The B protein was identified as α-lactalbumin, a well known and characterized milk protein. The award, a gold medal and $1000, is sponsored by Borden Foundation. Dr. Ebner's work, a major step in explaining how lactose in milk is made, could have much influence in the field of contemporary biochemistry, say other scientists in the field. He has shown that the A and B proteins from several sources are interchangeable as components of the lactose synthetase enzyme even though other physical criteria of the proteins differ. Dr. Ebner's work laid the ground-work for much other research on the enzymic importance of the α-lactalbumin. ...

A small school meets the needs of superior students in mathematics

Meeting the needs and abilities of different students is a problem in all schools. This becomes a more acute problem in the small school without multiple sections and with limited staff. It is frequently financially impossible to offer advanced courses to a small number of students. If the school does not provide for individual differences, it may be permitting waste of talent, encouraging lack of interest, developing attitudes of indifference, or encouraging lack of ambition. The Emerson, Arkansas, High School has been experimenting in its mathematics department during the past six years in an attempt to meet these needs. During the six year period, Emerson has had an enrollment in grades 7-12 ranging from 137 to 162. The program has been carried out with the support of the International Paper Company Foundation, coordinated by Auburn University. Preceding this program, students had two choices in a mathematics sequence: a minimal program consisting of Algebra I and General Mathematics, or a maximum program, Algebra I, Algebra II, and Plane Geometry. No Course was offered in fourth year mathematics.
