This paper describes the results of a simulation study to examine the effects of different organizational structures on the performance of a dual-constraint job shop production system. A hypothetical shop in which machines and workers are constraining resources is the setting of the study. The shop consists of divisions comprised of work centers which, in turn, contain machines to which workers are assigned. There are fewer workers than machines. Variations in organizational structure are achieved by different allocations of a fixed number of work centers to the divisions. Each structure is studied for three levels of labor flexibility. Mean flow-time, flow-time variance, and worker transfers between divisions and work centers are used as performance measures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents the two follow-up summer workshops held during 1964. One of the workshops was sponsored by the Family Life Education Department of Brigham Young University, located at Provo, Utah, which was attended by around 20 Utah high school teachers for home economics. The second workshop was held at Kansas State College of Pittsburgh, participated by a dozen Kansas home economics teachers. Both workshops dealt with only first perceptual experiences related to each of the chosen concepts, which are significant to understand the differences of individuals in rate of development, particularly during the study of child development, as well as family relations.

The article describes a new approach to teaching elementary economics. It was stimulated both by experience with Economic Workshops of Tennessee Council on Economic Education and by Report of American Economic Association on "The Teaching of Undergraduate Economics." In the report, economist Laurence Leamer urged that economists interested in general education should seek to build a cumulative literature on their subject. Progress in economic education is hardly to be made in the next sixty years if one persists in retracing previously trod paths. According to leamer, an economist doing research ordinarily proceeds by finding out how far previous workers have advanced knowledge of the subject, he then builds on past work, trying to make a new contribution on which other workers in turn will build. An economist writing on economic education confines himself to his own limited experience and his own limited thinking and he does not bother to inquire whether he is saying anything new. Leamer states that such contributions are not valuable.

INSURANCE ,HIGH school teachers ,ADULT education workshops ,AUTOMOBILE insurance ,RISK management in business ,EDUCATION - Abstract
This article reports on an experimental program with working with high school teachers called Insurance Education Workshop, which was conducted as part of the regular summer session at Drake University in the summer of 1970. The idea of a program of this kind originated in discussions concerning a suggested one-day conference for Driver Education teachers. High school Driver Education courses customarily include study of automobile insurance. It was felt that most teachers of these courses probably had no academic training in insurance, and hence would benefit from a conference in which various aspects of automobile insurance were studied. The main objective of the Insurance Education Workshop, therefore, was to enable the participants to become more effective insurance educators. The subject matter of the Workshop was similar to that treated in a conventional first course in Risk and Insurance, with modifications taking into account the particular interests of high school teachers and their students. Risk theory and risk management, for example, were de-emphasized, while automobile, homeowners, life and social insurance were stressed. advance publicity. The workshop was listed in the university catalog as both Insurance 131 in the College of Business Administration and as Education 131 in the College of Education. The great majority of students enrolled through the Education College. Listing the course in this manner meant that the Workshop would provide credit toward a Masters degree in Education; the attainment of such credit is what brings high school teachers back to the college campus.

ADULT education workshops ,SEX education ,YOUTHS' sexual behavior ,COMMUNICATION - Abstract
The article presents information on developing open communication about sex with youth. The discussion methods used in a workshop on the Youth-Adult Communication on Values offered at Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon, in June,1965, were developed throughout years of practical experience with youth groups in a variety of settings-school and church had been found effective with the whole adolescent age spectrum from junior high through college. Teenagers are often overconfident about their ability to be open in a mixed group and may be reluctant to separate. The adult discussion leader will need to take the responsibility for providing this kind of structure. While peer groups are the main source of sex information for youth, there is rarely open communication past the junior high school years as the need to protect prestige or reputation tends to create a barrier, especially on topics such as masturbation and homosexuality. Both the immediate evaluation by workshop members and the one conducted by mail indicated that the experience had been very satisfying to both youth and adults. For many boys and girls, it had been their first opportunity to talk so freely in the presence of adults.
