SOCIAL TRENDS AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS

Shortly after the publication of the report of President Hoover's Committee on Recent Social Trends, it occurred to Ernest M. Best of Toronto to prepare a short outline of the principal trends revealed by that monumental study. William F. Ogburn of the University of Chicago, director of the study, gave his approval, adding his criticism and suggestions. The 21 items resulting are listed at the left. Recently Owen E. Pence has further developed the display by placing against the various trends listed certain implications for educational and vocational adjustment. These occur in the right‐hand column. This suggested list does not rob anyone of the satisfaction of developing for himself a more detailed list of important implications.

Limitations to the Application of Social Science Implied in Recent Social Trends

dertakings. The universities have also increased their grants to research and have improved their research facilities rapidly. The Yale Institute of Human Relations, established in i9z6, now has some seven and a half millions of dollars at its disposal for social science research and a constantly growing organization. The University of Chicago has constructed a $z,ooo,ooo social science research building, for the coordination and housing of its various types of research in the social sciences and for providing the necessary equipment. Other universities are moving in the same direction. One of the marked features of social science research activities everywhere is the growth of co6rdinating councils for the encouragement of co6peration in research planning and execution. Along with the rapid development of research enterprise has, quite naturally, arisen the need of more adequate publication facilities. We have already noted the rapid increase in periodical literature since I890. University presses have also been established in connection with many of the larger universities which take care of some of the research output, and other demands for the publication of research findings are met by private enterprise and by grants from foundations. On the whole, it may be said that research is one of the major interests and activities of modern society in the United States and that the publication of research findings is a chief public and private concern. The absorption of the results of research in university and public school text-book making and teaching has kept pace quite successfully with the work of the researchers. The chief lag in the application of the findings of the researchers has been in the fields of legislation and public administration.

Race Relations

The depression has apparently had little influence on race relations during the year. Two events of significance are the Massie case and the report by the Appraisal Commission of the Laymen's Foreign Mission Inquiry. Negro-white relations have manifested the normal state of unrest. The movement to restrict immigration has continued, with decrease of immigration by about 76 per cent during the year. Deportations have continued in greater number than ever before.The situation of the Indian has remained unchanged. Two publications of importance are Professor T. J. Woofter's chapter on "The Status of Racial and Ethnic Groups" in Recent Social Trends and Professor Donald Young's volume on American Minority Peoples.

Report on Recent Social Trends in the United States

This is the latest and most comprehensive of the series of studies promoted or patronized by Mr. Hoover, which began in 1921 with the report on “Waste in Industry.” In September, 1929, the President called upon a group of leading social scientists to examine recent social trends with a view to preparing such a report “as might supply a basis for the formulation of large national policies looking to the next phase in the nation's development.” This was an ambitious undertaking, more ambitious than any of those which had preceded it. But the President believed firmly in the method of fact-finding by commission, as was demonstrated by the contemporaneous creation of the Wickersham Commission. This belief appeared to be justified by the accomplishments of previous commissions, especially the commission whose report on “Recent Economic Changes” was then approaching completion. Be that as it may, it was logical that the series of studies should culminate with a broader view of the great society which constitutes the American community. For the purpose of making this survey, President Hoover secured the services of six expert investigators whose past performances had gained for them the confidence of American students of the social sciences. Among them there was a thoroughly competent representative of political science. There was also assurance of adequate financial support. Thus the enterprise began with a good prospect of achieving whatever it might be practicable to achieve in the existing state of the social sciences.
