SOCIOLOGY ,THERAVADA Buddhism ,CULTURE ,PRACTICAL politics - Abstract
Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, are a group of countries that have boundaries with each other and lie between India and China. In all but Vietnam, Theravada Buddhism is the predominant religion. Apart from these resemblances, the pattern of cultures and of political trends is variegated and complex. Thailand, however, is relatively homogeneous in culture and tranquil in politics. Yet in spite of its notorious charm, it has not attracted many field investigators. The major exception to this is the work of the Cornell University Thailand Project, and especially its study from 1948 to 1958 of the village of Bang Chan near Bangkok. From the improvised fieldwork in a north-east province the impression one gets is that some factors that divide and cause conflict within other societies are absent or at least well concealed in Thailand. The Thai intelligence is pragmatic rather than theoretical and hitherto sociology has had no very great appeal in Thailand. Of countries in the list, the one most fitted by temperament and intellectual tradition to produce its own sociologists is probably Vietnam. Unfortunately the widespread political disturbance is an adverse factor.

6. Population Control in Thailand Through Female Sterilization.

STERILIZATION of women ,POPULATION ,CONTRACEPTION ,COST of living ,BIRTH control - Abstract
Among the numerous and varied problems that beset the developing nations of the world, perhaps none is receiving more attention than that of population. Very little or no really significant betterment accrues to the country because a large share of the resources for development must be devoted simultaneously to maintaining the ever-increasing population, thus leaving almost nothing or only minimal amounts for improvement of the level of living. To meet this situation enormous amounts of time, energy, skill, resources, and money have gone into the advocacy of family planning as one means to help reduce the size of the population. This article is devoted to one particular aspect of this program in Thailand. The analysis of female sterilization reported in this paper is made from data collected from a selected sample of women in Thailand in a project carried out in the fall of 1962. The main purpose of the research was to secure information pertinent in assessing the attitude of the Thais as regards the necessity for family planning.

AGRICULTURE ,INCOME - Abstract
This paper will attempt to trace the forms which financial transfers out of agriculture took in Thailand in one recent year. Financial transfers are predominantly savings out of income. They are not necessarily the only, or even the most important, form in which resources can he transferred; but for open, export-oriented developing economies, intersectoral savings are particularly difficult to measure and trace. As a prelude to any meaningful analysis of the function of intersectoral transfers in development planning, it appears useful to devise a technique, however rudimentary, of checking the sector saving data derived from national accounts against an estimate of the assets into which such savings are converted.

The Thai bureaucracy, viewed as a subsystem of Thailand's self-contained political system, variously manifests cultural uniqueness. Insulated from external pressures as a result of the absorption of major societal interests within the government, the bureaucracy's orientation and preoccupations are conspicuously introverted. Political influence, personalities, and prerogative provide the immediate frames of reference of administrative officialdom. Career strategies, working doctrines, and standards of conduct in the civil service are flexibly calibrated to the particularistic norms of ranking superiors. Authority relationships, structured mainly by impermanent personal clique groupings, are tenuous and unstable. But efforts to institutionalize formal sanctions and channels of accountability founder on a cultural predilection for informal and covert control devices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

BUREAUCRACY ,PUBLIC administration ,POLITICAL science ,SOCIOLOGY ,SOCIAL sciences - Abstract
Expanding upon 'formal-informal' distinctions, four modes of bureaucratic communications are defined. Communications within differing bureaucracies are compared using the four modes. The setting associated with each mode and its effectiveness in accomplishing various tasks are explored. Illustrations and descriptions of the four modes are given from cases of Thai local administrative behavior. A cultural explanation is sought for the choice of each mode. In the Thai situation the status of the officials determines the preferred mode of communication whereas the particular task determines the effectiveness of the communication. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article discusses family planning in Thai culture. The effect of male-child preference on family planning, or the desire for more children is examined. The authors found that most families in Thailand show no preference for child gender, however ethnic Chinese in urban areas demonstrate a strong preference for sons. Thai family structure and reproductive behavior are examined in the broad context of sociological and demographic features of Thailand. Marriage and reproductive data are presented.

EDUCATION policy ,PRIMARY education ,RURAL education ,INSTRUCTIONAL systems ,SOCIAL development ,ECONOMIC development ,AGRICULTURAL development ,THAI economy - Abstract
The article takes a brief look at Thai education within the national context to examine some of the problems in primary education and to observe what is being done and what can further be done to improve the situation. The rate of expansion in the Thai education system has been considerable, as data on primary school enrolments between 1950 and 1971 indicate. The education system has increasingly been seen as a means of bringing about social and economic development. The author describes the system as wasteful and irrelevant to most of those who live in the rural areas, using up vital resources and not leading to greater economic or agrarian development. Many of these problems are recognized, but reforms set in motion do not go far enough but merely help to perpetuate the existing system.

RELIGION ,BELIEF & doubt ,COMMUNISM & Buddhism ,SPIRITUALITY ,RITES & ceremonies - Abstract
It is argued that mutually inconsistent religious beliefs do not necessarily product cognitive conflict in their adherents. Examples gathered from research undertaken in Thailand are presented showing that there are various ways people use to cope with a logical contradiction between one master religious principle to which they subscribe and certain other specific beliefs and practices to which they also subscribe. It is suggested that for Thai Buddhists, and perhaps for most people everywhere, the test of the compatibility of religious beliefs and practices is not whether they are logically consistent but whether they are felt to cohere, that is, whether they are felt to be true. Several hypotheses are developed to account for how people manage to acquire and sustain the conviction that the various elements of their religion are true. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Based on special tabulations of 1960 census data on migration within Thailand, this analysis attempts to assess the role of migration in the urbanization process and the relation between migration and fertility. The importance of migration to urban growth is evidenced by the clearcut positive relationship between the percentage of persons classified as either lifetime or 5-year migrants and the urban character of their 1960 place of residence. Yet, the evidence also points to an increasing proportion of urban growth in recent decades attributable to natural increase. The specific relation between fertility and migration varies depending on the measure of migration used: Compared to nonmigrants in their place of destination, the fertility levels of lifetime migrants are not very different; but those of 5-year migrants are considerably lower. Regardless of migration status, however, fertility level is markedly lower for those living in urban places compared to those in rural places. This suggests the important role of both migration and urbanization in affecting fertility levels in Thailand. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

URBANIZATION ,CITIES & towns ,URBAN sociology ,CENSUS ,URBAN planning - Abstract
Utilizing both census and population register data for the period 1947-1967, this analysis assesses changing levels and rates of urbanization in Thailand, compares regional variations in urbanization patterns, and relates such differences to selected indicators of economic and demographic development. Although the overall level of urbanization remains low, the rate of urbanization is high and the increase in the number of moderate sized urban places significant. Greater Bangkok, accounting for over half of Thailand's urban population and almost two-thirds of all urban growth, has increased its primacy in Thailand's urban structure. But urban development has also begun to permeate all regions of the country and to be an important factor in the complex process of national social and economic development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

POPULATION ,FERTILITY ,BUDDHISTS ,MUSLIMS ,CONFUCIANISTS - Abstract
Both in the developed and the developing world the role of religion in affecting fertility levels and changing rates of population growth is a major concern. The article focuses on religious differentials in fertility in Thailand. In 1960 the Thai census enumerated 26.3 million persons. The 1969 population was estimated to be about 35.0 million. Thailand is quite homogeneous with respect to religious composition. According to the 1960 Census, 93.6% of the population are Buddhist, 3.9% are Moslem, most of whom are concentrated in the four southern provinces adjoining Malaysia, and 1.7% are Confucian, a majority of whom live in Bangkok. Together, the remaining minority groups of Christians, Hindus and others constitute less than 1% of the population. Despite its small proportion of non-Buddhists, the Thai government, as part of its growing concern with the overall rate of population growth, has been increasingly interested in the extent of fertility differentials among religious minority groups within Thailand and their need for and receptiveness to family planning. Yet, only limited data have been available to date on religious differentials in fertility in Thailand.

Freedman, Maurice

ETHNOLOGY - Abstract
The article presents information on books related to social anthropology. According to the author there are three books which are essentially about United States, Thailand, and Great Britain, rather than just about Jews, Chinese, and coloured people in these countries respectively. In fact, they come close to deserving this high praise, because the authors are clearly aware of the wider implications of the minority groups they have set out to study. Researcher Marshall Sklare brings the more extensive setting right into the title of the book he edits: "The Jews: Social Patterns of an American Group." The American scene, although not explicitly sketched in, is implicit in many of the contributions which compose the book. Author G. William Skinner in "Chinese Society in Thailand: An Analytical History," fits his sinological scholarship into a framework of considerable Thai learning. Few works on South-East Asia have shown so firm a grasp of total social systems. Researcher Sydney Collins, while confining himself to what his title says his book is about-Coloured Minorities in Britain, Studies in British Race Relations Based on African, West Indian and Asiatic Immigrants--is at pains to discuss how his minorities articulate with those parts of British society with which they make immediate contact.

Urbanization and bureaucratization are usually connected with a high rate of social mobility in western industrialized societies. In Thailand, however, mobility has declined between at least certain strata of Thai society following the consolidation of a bureaucratic elite in the expanding urban centre of Bangkok. The growing size, the monopolization of certain status symbols, the development of a distinct subculture, and the concentration of economic and political power are indications that the bureaucratic elite is developing into a social class. It is therefore concluded that urbanization and bureaucratization in formerly loosely structured societies may lead to the formation of a class system and to a temporary decline of social mobility.

Based on inferences from a sample of 910 village families, it is asserted that the nuclear family is both (1) the ideal form and also (2) the statistical normative form. To a limited extent, (about one-third of all cases) extended families were found. The sample data were obtained in 35 villages in six widely separated provinces of Thailand. The foregoing findings regarding Thai family forms were largely identical with the results reported by Janlekha in his study in a single village-Bang Chan. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article examines the development of the legal system in Thailand and its role in the country's political affairs. It looks at evolution of the country's law from the traditional legal system into an amalgamation of indigenous and foreign laws, influenced by the western countries. Despite the greater Western influence on Thai laws, the author believes that the evolutionary process of the law should remain an indigenous process to promote changes with broad support from the Thai people.

Gue, Leslie R.
- Abstract
The Comprehensive School Project, the benchmark in the steady trend toward diversification of the Thailand secondary school curriculum, is the focus of this paper. In the first part three stages of educational development are examined and discussed, followed by education in the present period, the 1960 national scheme of education, and the beginnings of diversifications of secondary education. Emphasis is upon examination and tentative evaluation of the major components of the Comprehensive School Project: a five year training program to educate 165 Thailand teachers in Canada in the physical and administrative organization of a comprehensive high school; the sending of advisers to Thailand; consideration of the Thailand project office as an administrative unit; and the outlook for diversification of the secondary school curricula in Thailand. Evaluations indicate that the training program successfully reached its goals, the impact of advisers was excellent, the school project office was highly functional in implementing basic changes, and that as long as diversified secondary education helps the Thai culture survive, the Thai people will incorporate it into their educational system.

- Abstract
This paper addresses itself to the problem of long-term manpower development in Thailand. Relevant research studies are discussed in the introduction and the thesis of this report is stated: namely, that for Southeast Asia and developing nations in general, middle manpower development, and the kinds of educational institutions needed for such development (technical colleges, junior colleges, post-secondary vocational schools, business colleges, nursing schools, etc.), should be given top priority in the decade ahead. Section II of the report develops the theme of the importance of middle manpower. Section III discusses the current status of middle manpower in Thailand. Section IV examines the middle manpower supply-demand situation for the 1970's. And section V discusses the need for a new kind of college in Thailand: a system of publicly supported 2-year colleges, which are desperately needed to meet Thailand's manpower needs and economic goals.

- Abstract
Although prepared for the occasion of a national seminar in Thailand, the substance of this paper applied in a wide context of countries now making plans to develop school programs in population education. After an introduction to the need for introducing population education in the school curriculum and the way this need is perceived by family planning leaders and educators, the discussion is largely focused on two questions: 1) potential content and scope of population education; and, 2) strategies in developing a program. Content and scope are delineated by a few general statements, but the author suggests that each country will need to develop its own specification within the general dimension. Several steps in the development of strategies are listed and discussed: 1) determination of the scope and general objectives of the population education program (for Thailand); 2) establishment of an organizational unit or units responsible for providing leadership for the development of population education; 3) assessment of the personnel requirements; 4) development of a general plan of procedure; 5) development of arrangements for keeping informed about population education activities in other countries; and, 6) determination of financial resources needed and identification of sources of such support.

Four papers are included in this pamphlet, the proceedings of the World Assembly at Abidjan, Ivory Coast. The keynote address, "A Turning Point in History" by Jaime Benitez, President of the University of Puerto Rico, discusses the Apollo 11 moon landing as an object lesson on values with international implications for shifting educational approaches. He further explores the Puerto Rican experience as representative of international tensions between education and politics. "Rural Teacher Education in Thailand" by Bhunthin Attagara, Director of Teacher Training, Ministry of Education, Bangkok, is a description of the Rural Teacher Education Project launched in 1956 and now involving 25 teacher training schools and colleges and 190 cooperating rural elementary schools in a program which includes community development work as well as student teaching in the village schools. Mavis Burke of the University of the West Indies discusses the need for international agency cooperative efforts in teacher education and suggests five priorities which would form the basis of such an agency's role. In "The Indian Association of Teacher Educators," Dr. S.N. Mukerji, Principal of Vidya Bhawan Teachers College in Udaipur, India, analyzes the problems in Indian education and the challenges they represent with reference to the Association's role. Included also is the "Constitution of the International Council on Education for Teaching" as amended by the 1969 Representative Assembly. (JS)

- Abstract
The basic theme of this yearbook, "The Role of the Schools in the Improvement of Community Life," is open to a variety of interpretations. Many factors determine what role the schools will play in a particular country or area, and consequently, what part they may have in community improvement programs. Among the factors are the history and traditions, the economic, political and social conditions, and the culture of the country. Of great importance is the prevailing viewpoint, both among educational leaders and the general population, on the scope and purpose of education. The answer to the question, "To what extent is the school responsible for the type and quality of community living?" will largely determine the extent to which the school will participate in community development programs. This yearbook will describe what is being done in many parts of the world to use education as a creative weapon in the war against instability at the community level. Part I of this document--Some Programs in Action--contains the following papers: (1) The Bolivian Nucleos (Thomas A. Hart); (2) Community Education in Puerto Rico (Fred G. Weis); (3) Community Schools in the Philippines (Jose V. Aguilar); (4) The Role of the Schools in the Development of Community Life (W. E. Baker); (5) The "Schuldorf Bergstrasse" (Friedrich Ploetz); (6) The New Nationwide Program of Fundamental Education in Iran (Luanna J. Bowles); (7) Community Development through Adult Education (Philip Sherlock); (8) The Gold Coast Community Development Service (P. du Sautoy); (9) Fundamental Education at Ubon, Thailand (Richard M.

Gagon); (14) The Second Unit Rural Schools of Puerto Rico (Osvaldo Rodriguez Pacheco); and (15) The Community School in a Great Metropolis (Leonard Covello, Simon Beagle, and Leon Beck). Part II of this publication--Some Common Tasks--includes the following: (1) Community Schools of Taiwan--The Growth of an Idea (H.

- Abstract
Recent work carried out at the Tuberculosis Chemotherapy Centre, Madras, and at the Postgraduate Medical School of London has shown that isoniazid-sensitive cultures of tubercle bacilli obtained before the start of chemotherapy from South Indian patients with pulmonary tuberculosis are of lower average virulence than corresponding cultures from British patients. The present paper from the Centre extends these studies to areas outside India by comparing isoniazid-sensitive cultures from 81 Thai patients and 67 British patients for their guinea-pig virulence. As assessed by the amount of disease visible at post-mortem examination six weeks after intramuscular injection of the cultures, by the mortality of the guinea-pigs and by the results of spleen culture, the Thai cultures were less virulent than the British cultures. However, a retrospective comparison with the earlier studies suggests that the Thai cultures were intermediate in their virulence between British and Indian cultures. These findings contribute to the over-all study of the geographical distribution of attenuated tubercle bacilli.
