Why work kills. A brief history of occupational safety and health in the United States.

In the early 20th century, U.S. monopoly corporations responded to the movement against work accidents by setting up a business-controlled "compensation-safety establishment," which kept down compensation costs but did little to improve working conditions. The "establishment" was able to keep the issue of occupational safety and health out of public debate until the late 1960's through its control of research, education, compensation, and government appointments in the area, and by creating the public impression that the problems of occupational disease were almost nonexistent. Despite the occurrence of sporadic rank-and-file uprisings, unions have been seriously involved in health and safety only since the late 1960's, when they mobilized in an effort to pass the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. The passage of the OSHA law was made possible by the help of progressive professionals, worker dissatisfaction, the new environmental consciousness, and a general climate of social unrest. Although the corporate elite, through the "compensation-safety establishment," has been able to dominate the operation of the federal institutions created by the new law, the question of occupational health and safety is now on the permanent agenda of workers, unions, and the public.

Teaching Americans in America

Abstract Schools of social work in the United States and in Canada have for many years, supported and encouraged their faculty to accept visiting professorships or research appointments in foreign schools of social work. This program has benefited both faculty and students through enriched course content. However, only in recent years have more than a few faculty from foreign schools of social work joined the faculties of schools of social work in the United States and Canada as visiting professors. There is no question that these faculty members have made a contribution to social work education in the schools where they were resident. This author provides insights on how visiting professors might affectively contribute as members of faculty and questions the emphasis we are presently giving to methodology at the expense of our commitment to the ideological and moral base of social work.

Fellowships

Argonne National Laboratory, has announced that applications for temporary research appointments in physics, biology, chemistry, engineering, medicine, and metallurgy are being accepted. The Laboratory reserves positions each year for faculty members on leave, postdoctoral investigators, and graduate students wishing to use its research facilities. Appointments will ordinarily be made for a period of approximately one year although applications for the summer, or for other periods less than a year, will be considered in cases where useful results can be anticipated in the shorter time. Each applicant must be endorsed by his own academic institution. Further information and applications may be obtained by communicating with J. C. Boyce, Associate Laboratory Director, Argonne National Laboratory, P.O. Box 299, Lemont, Illinois.

Dr. R. J. Pumphrey

DR. R. J. PUMPHBEY, who succeeds Prof. Orton, has for many years been associated with or on the staff of the Zoological Deparment at Cambridge. Going into residence in 1925 and winning the Frank Smart Prize in 1999. he has held an unusually wide range of distinuished research appointments,including Rockefeller and Beit fellowships. Since 1946 he has been an assistant director of research and as such primarily concerned with problems of sensory physiology. He is best known for his outstanding contributions to our knowledge of the auditory and visual functions in lower organisms. Much of this work involves a highly specialized and biophysical approach ; but the outstanding feature of its results is the extent to which they provide a much clearer and more convincing picture of the rolo of the sense organs in the everyday life of the organisms. This combination of intellectual acuity and wide-angled vision augurs well for the future of his new Department. Dr. Pumphrey is unusually well equipped to deal with the relationship of university departments to the teaching of biology in schools, for he has played a very active part in framing the syllabuses now in force for school and higher certificate examinations ; with a colleague, at Manchester, not uninterested in such matters, there is little fear of undue stagnation.

Society for Freedom in Science

FOUR years ago, a circular letter was sent to a few scientific men suggesting the formation of a new society to promote the causes of pure science and of freedom in science. A group of thirty was thus formed, which became the nucleus of the Society for Freedom in Science. The Society has recently issued a statement of its purpose and aims, which are summed up in five propositions; put briefly, these are: (1) increase of knowledge by scientific research and its diffusion have a primary human value; (2) science can only flourish in an atmosphere of freedom; (3) scientific life should be autonomous; (4) conditions of research appointments should give workers freedom to choose their own problems; (5) scientific men in countries not under dictatorial rule should co-operate to maintain freedom of research.
