The article looks at some general trends that are observable during the first half of the twentieth century. Nearly all scientific research was done in the universities. The decline of international science before the first world war is described. From 1919 to 1934 there was a fifteen year period in which science was unhampered by national boundaries, in which many great advances were made and in which cooperation of all kinds flourished so well that this was not a subject for special comment. This was the period that American science began to mature.

9. THE "BLACK HOLE" OF CALCUTTA: FACT OR FICTION?
- Author
-
Hartmann, George W.
- Subjects
BLACK Hole Incident, Kolkata, India, 1756 ,PRISONERS ,DEATH ,HISTORY ,PROFESSIONAL associations - Abstract
The article discusses the "Black Hole" incident that happened in Calcutta in connection with the British conquest of India. Innumerable histories, major and minor, record the short but horrible tale; sober encyclopedias give it the respectable stamp of their authority and more recently, solid medical, engineering and psychological textbooks fathered by famous research commissions and past presidents of various scientific and professional associations have by their repeated references thereto all but universalized an awareness of this episode. One hardly encounters any lay or professional discussion of atmospheric or ventilation problems which does not compulsively mention the Black Hole, as though this chapter of technology could not be adequately covered or reported without this scholarly adornment. Later physiological chemists have questioned the popular Victorian explanation that the excess saturation of the available air with carbon dioxide or "human miasma" could have been the responsible cause for the deaths reported but not even these technicians extended their skepticism to the "event" as such.

When the scheme of morphological subdivision propounded is applied to Western Europe, the Central Massif of France appears as a physiographic province with a unity of major relief type and structural evolution. The geographical regions within this province have two other important features in common: they have a similar history and the majority are characterized by a "mountainous centrality" with regard to the rest of France. It is the purpose of this paper to examine the emergence of the general patterns of road and rail communications in these regions.

CONTRACT labor ,INDIAN diaspora (South Asian) ,ANTISLAVERY movements ,EMPLOYMENT ,PLANTATIONS ,MULTIRACIALITY ,HISTORY - Abstract
After the abolition of slavery in British colonies in 1834, many thousand labourers left India under indenture for employment on colonial plantations. Their efforts resulted in a striking rise in exports of plantation products. At the end of their indenture, many Indians decided to settle in their new home, especially' in British Guiana, Trinidad, Mauritius and Fiji. The paper discusses the districts in India from which labourers were recruited; the conditions of service under the indenture system, and its advantages and abuses. It discusses the opportunities open to the Indian labourer at the end of his indenture, and the facilities which the government or the planters provided for his settlement on the land. Those who did not settle on the land turned to the professions or trades, often with success. The paper discusses the attitude of the communities of reception" to the Indian during and after indenture, and his adjustment to a multi-racial society. It analyses his change in outlook as a result of emigration, the increase in his ambition and initiative, and his transition from submissiveness to independence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

HISTORICAL sociology ,ANTHROPOLOGY ,HISTORY ,REASONING ,SOCIOLOGY ,HUMAN behavior - Abstract
The article focuses on basic difficulty in historical sociology. The newly reawakened interest in the sociological study of historical events makes it worthwhile to raise again the question whether such a study is scientifically feasible at all. Obviously, all data anybody can deal with are historical data, events of the past. Science is a form of ratiocination dealing with past events and so all science is historical. Those who are interested in historical sociology are generally not interested in this kind of work, which falls into the province of general sociology. The historical sociologist tends to look at history not in the sense of the totality of all past events, but in the sense of recorded history. In other words, he tends to look exclusively, or at least primarily, to the works of the historians as his source of information about unique sequences of past events, which he tries to use as raw materials for the development of generalizations about interhuman behavior. It is the intention of this paper to show that the writings of the historians can be used for sociological purposes only with the greatest caution.

The article discusses the significance of the biography of scientists, which is complicated by the problem of making the technical achievements of the subject understandable to the lay reader. According to sources, the lives of scientists are usually written by other scientists, which result to not being a biography, but a laboratory report on a specimen. This is because the difficulties of presenting technical information clearly are exaggerated, while the difficulties of writing biography are underrated. Thus, factual material, with an explicit or implicit admission that they can not truly grasp the image of the subject, should be put together by the biographer-scientists.

GEOGRAPHY ,CLASSIFICATION ,GEOGRAPHERS ,PHILOSOPHERS ,TAXONOMISTS ,LOGICIANS ,HISTORY - Abstract
It is argued in this paper that regionalization is a similar process to classification. The terminology and procedures of the two are compared and it is concluded that there is a close similarity except that there is no direct analogy in regionalization with the individual of classification, it is suggested that operationally defined individuals partially overcome this problem. The histories of ideas about the nature and purpose of regional systems and classification systems are briefly compared and again found to be similar. Ten principles of classification derived from the work of logicians and taxonomists are then stated and the methods of constructing regional systems are examined in the light of these principles. It is shown that most of the points revealed by such an examination have been previously discussed by geographers, although they are arguing from different premises. Some of the principles, however, do raise problems which have hitherto received little attention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

CITIES & towns ,CIVILIZATION ,ECONOMIC development ,HISTORY - Abstract
The historical development of Wilmington, North Carolina, is examined as an example of how sensitive one American city has been to a changing geographical situation. Beginning early in the Colonial Period, three distinct functional period are identified for the city. The first and longest, when Wilmington functioned as a regional port, lasted through the nineteenth century. The second, ending about 1950, saw the city function chiefly as a regional trade and service center while use of the port declined. The period since 1950 has been characterized by manufacturing development, revival of the port and related activity, and relative decline in regional trade. The three periods have been separated by times of critical transition as reorganization lagged behind changes in the pattern and significance of transportation forms and the character and requirements of the city-region.

The article presents historical analysis of trade union press. Labor journalism has come a long way since the appearance of the Machinists and Blacksmiths International Journal in 1863. With more than 600 publications and an estimated readership exceeding 20,000,000, the union press wields a major influence on the American public. Today the union press is read by union members and the general public in steadily increasing numbers, and the frequency with which it is quoted by reporters for the daily newspapers, editorial writers, and others indicates that these publications have something of broad interest to tell the American public. Among the 600 publications there is a wide variety of organizational sponsors. Papers and/or magazines are published by the national federations such as the American Federation of Labor (A.F.L.) and Congress of Industrial Organizations (C.I.O.) and the associated railroad brotherhoods; by national unions such as the Steelworkers, Automobile Workers, and Carpenters; by districts of various unions; and by state, county, or city A.F.L.-C.I.O. federations, as well as by local unions.

The author criticizes the article by David J. Gray published in the periodical "Sociological Quarterly." In the article, Gray claims that the chief characteristic of our whole historical development is to have swept cleanly away all the older social forms of organization. One of Gray's failures, according to the author, is his shifting of meaning for value and value free. The highest use to which Gray's article might be put would be as material for a class exercise in conceptual analysis. Gray has also overlooked the fact that sociologists, like medical researchers, may legitimately adopt value positions.

The article discusses the role of the sport historian. One of the definitions given by the Committee on Historiography of the Social Science Research Council to history, is the study representation, and explanation of the past of mankind from the survival and records. Based on the views of W. B. Willcox on the role of historians, the role of sports historian is identified to be the interpretation of various events relevant to sports that are necessary in providing greater awareness about the sport's present situation.

Bray Hammond, in his article, "The North's Empty Purse," argues that an inherited traditional bias against government paper money, sharpened by the agitation of soft-money advocates in the late nineteenth century, led Wesley Mitchell, as it did many others, to come out with a one-sided reading of history in the "History of the Greenbacks." There is some truth in this thesis. Mitchell's belief that he had "proved" beyond reasonable doubt in Part II of the book that the greenbacks were responsible for the ensuing inflation certainly affected his account in Part I, for example, the activities and views of bankers who saw the situation "correctly" were featured and the information that there was dissent among bankers was relegated to a footnote. There may be some truth, too, in the notion that sound money bias had some influence in leading Mitchell to the conclusion that inflation could have been avoided had the government adopted alternative plans that had been put forward. Yet the way Hammond has developed the thesis is so oversimplified that it gives a very distorted view of the situation. As Hammond had noted, Mitchell was a student of J. Laurence Laughlin, a leader of the sound-money forces at the turn of the century. What Hammond fails to point out is that Laughlin used in defense of his views a variant of the commodity theory of money, a theory that presupposes that the value of money, is determined by supply and demand, exactly in the same way as is the value of any other commodity.

To argue that more needs to and can be known about black artisans and laborers in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and especially in the South. The Montgomery workingmen have a full ticket in the field for the coming city election, and there is nothing under heaven to hinder them from succeeding if they but stand firm in the faith. The people of Alabama are tired of ring rule. The Democratic papers call the workingmen the riff-raff and fag ends of society. The miners have experienced poverty to such a degree, and for such a length of time, that they and their families do not shudder at it, but look it squarely in the face, like little men. The miners in Alabama have no organization to protect their interests or advocate their cause, and they are in a different position from any mining locality in the United States. All capitalists employing labor in this part of the country have two sorts of labor, and some of them three sorts of labor.

To the author's knowledge, no historian or prehistorian has ever seriously examined the Freudian concept about the origins of civilization of the beginnings of the state.

PERIODICALS ,HISTORY ,LABOR press ,FINANCE ,NEWSPAPER circulation ,LABOR ,LABOR journalism - Abstract
This article attempts to relate problems of the periodicals, Daily Herald and Daily Citizen, such as finance, distribution and the achievement of a mass circulation to contemporary ideological debate. The Herald, originally the organ of locked-out London, England printers, appeared as a national daily for the first time in April 1912. The Citizen was launched six months later. From 1912 until 1922 the Herald was controlled and financed independently of the official labor leadership. This independence was the foundation on which rested the paper's provocative radical journalism. It was thereby able to question established modes of political and industrial orthodoxy and to foster debate about possible alternatives. This required a forum-style presentation closely monitoring unease from the labor rank-and-file below. The Citizen, on the other hand, was pledged to defend traditional aims and methods, promoting remedial parliamentary action backed by non-militant trade union policies. In a situation of considerable rank-and-file unrest this required clear policy formulation from above. This involved projection of the Citizen as the only official labor paper and thus the winning of acceptance and respectability within the existing press and the wider political system. The paper's appearance was timed to coincide with the opening of the parliamentary session. Both the Herald and the Citizen established organizational offshoots to further efficient daily mass circulation.

Italian policymakers conceived of vast, empty, ‘cultivable.’ steppe lands in northern Tripolitania which were available for colonization, although Libyans were using them for cereal cultivation and pastoralism. The Italians adapted the principle of state land grants from Islamic law to their colonial land codes, and proceeded to build a colonial domain reserved for Italians. Dispossession of the Libyans was considered in the public interest. They were excluded from even larger areas as Italian settlement expanded. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the Dagomba kingdom in Northern Ghana there has been a protracted dispute between two branches of the royal family over rights to the skin (throne). This dispute erupted into violence in September 1969 when at least eighteen people were shot dead by the security forces. This article examines the background to the so-called 'Yendi skin dispute' and considers the significance of the distinction between 'tradition' and 'politics' as used by participants to explain the conflict and to allocate responsibility. It concludes that 'tradition' is both artificial and highly malleable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

BUSINESS education ,HISTORY ,BUSINESS enterprises ,WESTERN countries ,PRIVATE sector ,TECHNOLOGICAL innovations - Abstract
The article focuses on business history and management education. When talking about business history, seeking to explain and justify activities, the target for such reflections tends to be the academic community of other historians and the justifications are sought primarily in terms of academic values within historiography. The business corporation has proved the most influential institution of the twentieth century for shaping the destinies of western countries in times of peace. Most productive assets in western economies remain with business in the private sector, the instrumental decisions which shape economic change in these countries' decisions to invest and to adopt technological change, remain for the most part in the hands of business firms. Clearly, the more historians can learn about the evolution of the business firm and business systems the better. And present problems cannot be understood without some historical dimension being applied to them. But to be asked to justify business history explicitly in terms of its utility as a teaching instrument in contemporary business studies, as part of the formal utilitarian training of the future business, executive rather than an aspect of his general education more generally construed, strikes a much more awkward note.

BUSINESS education ,BUSINESS research ,HISTORY ,PROFESSIONAL education ,BOOKKEEPING ,BUSINESS schools - Abstract
The article focuses on business history and management education. In the U.S., business schools are the traditional homes of teaching and research in business history. This is not so in Great Britain. If the gap between them is to be bridged, business and management scholars must attempt to state what they would like to learn from business historians. Business education is fundamentally similar to other forms of education. It shares with them common cognitive aims. The student of business seeks knowledge of his subject. He must gain comprehension. He strives to develop powers of analysis. These elements he learns to apply to problem-solving. As issues become more complex he must synthesise his ideas. Finally, at the highest level he must try to learn to evaluate his ideas against appropriate criteria. Business education is not concerned only with techniques such as double-entry book-keeping, network analysis, or personnel selection, important as such techniques are. Study must centre on concepts and ideas. Factual statements must be brought together in theoretical constructs, which attempt to explain the relationships between them.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP ,BUSINESS education ,BUSINESS research ,PROFESSIONAL education ,UNDERGRADUATE programs ,ECONOMIC history ,HISTORY ,BUSINESS schools - Abstract
The article focuses on entrepreneurial history. One of the more interesting problems for business historians in Great Britain is why so little business history is taught at undergraduate level. The most that seems to happen is that an odd question or two on company history or on entrepreneurship is inserted in a finals examination paper usually in the subject specialism of economic history. There are few if any complete undergraduate courses devoted to the study of business history and even at post-graduate level it can scarcely be called a flourishing industry. At a conference held at Cranfield in March, 1973, on the theme of business histories and their use in management education it was apparently Manchester Polytechnic rather than a university college who presented a scheme of work destined for undergraduate students yet the distinguished university contributors among business historians who attended that conference would presumably hardly agree that business history was somehow academically at a level different from their own.

There have been countless expositions of the educational thought of educationist J.F. Herbart, but they all tend to synthesize his doctrine and present it as a kind of composite. Even the standard histories of education seem to pay little attention to the sequence in which his ideas were built up over a period of thirty years, or give a clear indication of the particular works in which these may be found. Herbart's first educational writings show the continuing influence of Pestalozzi. In the latter year, in a kind of appendix to a edition of the "Idea," he made his first independent contribution.

The article presents information on the course called "Themes in 20th Century History" developed by the author within the History Department at Monash University, Melbourne, in 1975. It is based on the unstated assumption that the function of a university is to provide a general education in the culture as well as training in particular disciplines. The lack of intellectual rigor in the course as alleged by other departments in the university was the major impediment to its implementation. Other departments in the university were mainly concerned with the possible effect of the new course on comparative enrolments. It was observed that a course like this can work only in case of a good rapport among staff as well as between staff and students. The author's central idea about the course involved co-operative group work rather than competitive individual work. According to him, the pooling of knowledge and ideas, critical discussions and even some organized division of labour and exchange of notes improve the performance of students.

The article discusses the history and anthropology of communities. The existence of communities in distant lands is significant for industrial societies. Community is a territorial group of people with a common mode of living striving for common objectives. In practice, community studies are non-comparable and non-cumulative. Several criticisms on community studies are presented. One criticism asserts that the concepts and methods were developed for the study of groups which were geographically and socially isolated. Another criticism deals with absence of any time dimension in community studies.

When Theodore N. Vail became president of the American Telephone & Telegraph Company in 1907 there was considerable public animosity toward AT&T for a number of reasons, including the company's aggressive suppression of competition under earlier leadership. With the assistance of the N. W. Ayer & Son advertising agency, Vail launched a national magazine advertising campaign to court public opinion. Vail hoped to make the public aware of the quality of service provided by AT&T licensees, to persuade the public to a more favorable opinion of AT&T and, above all, to sway the public in favor of the concept of the telephone industry as a natural and beneficent monopoly. The five pioneering institutional ads for AT&T prepared by N. W. Ayer in 1908 marked the beginning of an advertising program which continues uninterrupted down to the present day.

The reader may wish to perform the same kind of analysis to predict or anticipate future evolution of advertising agencies. The intent is not only to explain or predict changes, but also to exhibit "systems thinking" which is appropriate for the historian. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article studies the playworld of the seventeenth century Huron. The purpose of the study was to determine the importance of a content analysis of a society's mythology as an alternative source of historical information. The analysis focused on the following aspects: concept of play by the Huron; the nature of their leisure-time pursuits and those societal values reflected through their mythological playforms. For them, play was a natural part of life and something that any normal individual would engage in. Work was viewed as something that a responsible native engaged in to ensure the unit's survival while leisure was seen as something to be enjoyed after the completion of the work. The author concluded that a content analysis of a society's story-world may give a more objective view of the people's practices and the place of these within their culture, than can be obtained by relying on the information available from the more commonly employed historical sources.

The article examines the "2001: A Space Odyssey," a film by Stanley Kubrick that features controversy on cults and critics. According to the author, the movie is an uninterpretable film about critic which led Michel Ciment to find himself powerless to communicate his experience. The film can also be reduced to a sort of patchwork quilt of oddly assorted scraps on nineteenth and twentieth century intellectual history. In addition, one of the unique features of the film is the possibility of presenting experiences without explanations and images without names.

The article provides information on the history of seventeenth-century indentured servant emigrants who went to the colonies of mainland North America and the West Indies from the British Isles. Many of these emigrants provided labor principally for the plantation colonies and were bound under indenture to work in the colonies, in return for their passage, keep and a payment upon gaining their freedom. According to historians, indentured servants were commonly unemployed laborers and many were so young as to have been easy victims of the unscrupulous recruiting agents who operated the trade.

The article presents an interdisciplinary argument about the historical study of science. In proposing to institutionalize the history of science, there are two main goals, namely, improving the theoretical foundations of the individual disciplines, and rounding out the domain of historical scholarship. The history of science should serve to give scientific studies a more philosophical direction and to fill a basic gap in the system of historical studies. The term historical study of science refers to the state of affairs and not to something like a new discipline, at best it is a subspecialty of the science of science. The history of science has in no way acted as a link between the sciences, especially the natural sciences, on the one hand, and historical scholarship on the other. There have indeed been attempts to help the history of science assume an appropriate place in modern terms. The theoretical turn in historiography has in fact resulted in a stronger consideration of the history of science before the historical turn in the science of science suggested this.

REFORMS ,LABOR movement ,HISTORY - Abstract
This article focuses on labor reform politics in Richmond, Virginia during the 1880s. Labor reform political slates sprang up in hundreds of cities and towns across the U.S. in 1886-1867, including at least 21 cities in eight southern states. In Richmond, following impressive economic victories by the Knights of Labor, a workingmen's ticket swept control of the municipal government in may 1886 and went on confidently to challenge the bourbon incumbents for Congress the coming fall. Success rested on the cooperation of the disaffected white Democrats with African American Republicans. Some observers felt that they were witnessing the beginning of a major political and social upheaval. Yet, on November's election day, no labor candidate appeared on the ballot and no more labor politics, to speak of, existed in Richmond. Little is yet known about souther lower-classes movements, African American or white, in the Gilded Age. Recent political and social history, however, concentrated in local studies, suggest that the South was less solid than it once appeared. The new scholarship has challenged the view that after the failure of Reconstruction meaningful experiments in the social order were finished, and that the aspirations of African Americans were decisively thwarted.

GEOLOGISTS , *HISTORY , *GEOLOGY - Abstract
Historians generally assume that the geological theories of George Hoggart Toulmin (1754-1817) are identical to those of James Hutton. This paper seeks to establish that Toulmin's ideas are significantly distinct and possess an independent interest. It argues that Toulmin was highly exceptional in his treatment of the nature and history of Man within the discipline of geology, for he saw Man (like the Earth) as being eternal, and also treated Man totally naturalistically, as an integral, non-privileged part of the terraqueous system. The neglect of Toulmin by subsequent geologists is examined, and it is suggested that it was in part attributable to the unacceptability of his interpretation of Man. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article focuses on dancer Maud Allan. One of the most familiar names of all in the Western world is that of Maud Allan. A truly remarkable aspect of her career is her descent from international acclaim and the benefits of a publicity machine almost unrivaled until the advent of the television age to an obscurity so complete that only a few researchers in dance history recognized her name. This fall into obscurity may be partially accounted for by examining another interesting aspect of Maud Allan's career. Many of the dancers who have become legends in the history of dance have done so not only because of their talents, but because of their flamboyant private lives.

Since its inception, the cable television industry has experienced a large growth rate. Today 16 percent of the U.S. television homes are linked to some form of cable. While there have been numerous federal, state, and local inquiries and a great deal of literature devoted to cable development and potential, there has only been a limited amount of study devoted to cable's relationship to the advertising industry. This paper discusses some of the more pertinent issues of the cable-advertising industry relationship. It traces the past developments of cable's structure and relationship to advertising and offers some current viewpoints concerning this interesting relationship. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

92. Morality and Medical Science: Concepts of Narcotic Addiction in Britain, 1820-1926.

DRUG addiction , *NARCOTIC laws , *HISTORY - Abstract
This paper examines the evolution of ideas about narcotic addiction. In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, addiction was not viewed as a medical condition, but as a 'bad habit'. The contemporary reaction to De Quincey's Confessions (1821) demonstrates the general lack of medical involvement. The question of opium eating and longevity, first generated by the Mar case, brought increased medical interest and an embryo connection with the anti-opium crusade. In the second half of the century, addiction was more fully 'medicalised' through the profession's involvement in the question of hypodermic morphine and the allied development of a disease theory of addiction. The 'problem' of hypodermic morphine owed much to medical perceptions; and the disease theory, too, was not scientifically autonomous. Medical thinking developed in close alliance with moral biases, temperance and anti-opium beliefs. Treatment structures and methods were elaborated in line with increased medical interest. In the early twentieth century there was a distinct move on the part of the government, and the Home Office in particular, to defeat the 'disease' view, and to substitute a penal policy. The 1926 Rolleston Report marked not simply a reassertion of the earlier moral-cum-medical emphasis, but a recognition of partnership between doctors and the state in which the limited nature of narcotic addiction at first ensured a liberal reaction.

The article discusses the concept of Luddism and politics in the northern counties of Great Britain during the early 19th century. Workers break machines that thrive during this period. It was their means to pressure employers to not use machines which threatened them to be left jobless. Knowledge on the political aspect of this agitation took was often overlooked by historians like B. Hammond and F. O. Darvall. The author of this article therefore re-examines the sources that point out the reasons behind the Luddite action.

AUTOMOBILE industry , *HISTORY of communism , *CAPITALISM , *COMMUNISM , *LABOR unions , *HISTORY - Abstract
This article focuses on the verge of formation of industrial union due to communist influence in the automobile industries during 1920 to 1933. The automobile became the most coveted consumer item in a market flooded with new gadgets. For many capitalists, the industry, and particularly Henry Ford's, a car manufacturer, policies of high output, low prices, and high wages, symbolized the vitality of what the journal "Fortune," called the new capitalism. Owning a Ford car became capitalism's answer to Marxism. For many workers, too, the industry symbolized the promise of good life. The Communist movement in America began in 1919 almost completely isolated from the nation's 343,000 automobile workers. From the beginning of the movement, nearly insurmountable objects blocked Communist influence among auto workers. By 1929 the Communists had established Party units in a dozen or so auto shops and issued a dozen shop papers. They also established important links with foreign-born auto workers through fraternal and cultural organizations. They led the only industrial union of auto workers and participated in the most important auto strikes of the 1920's.

The article considers the integration of folklore studies into social and cultural history. Richard Weiss' works on folklore research focused on the characteristics of the folk persons who are enmeshed in the folkways in communal binding and tradition-faithfulness. But his categorization demanded the need to apply historical examination. Rudolf Braun and Arnold Niederer both attacked Weiss' concepts of folkways. Hans Morer provided an analysis of contemporary culture to construct the structure and functions of particular customary practice.

This article explains that African history as a discipline is in crisis. Historians differ over its aims, methods and even over the simple meaning of the results which such disclipline has produced. But there must be grounds for hope despite the present poor prognosis for African history. It discusses the book "The Roots of Rural Poverty." This book can help historians see more clearly the simpler aspects of the crisis facing the discipline. Several other books and articles are mentioned that can clarify the state of African history as a discipline.
