- Description: This course, while primarily designed for use with tapes, has been re-programmed for use as a self-instruction manual suitable for use without tapes or an instructor. However, the student is advised to use tapes, at least with the pronunciation lessons. This language course builds up step by step in a systematic fashion. Each step is clearly presented with the aid of diagrams where useful and adequate practice material is provided. These practice d rills are so constructed that every item elicits a creative response from the learner, who can then check his response against the master response given on the right-hand column, which can be gradually revealed with the use of the sliding mask. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

Man, machines, and society: lectures in industrial sociology

- Description: The machine had been slowly developing for centuries before it became incorporated as the leading element in a new type of civilisation significantly different from any previous society or culture the world had seen. It required a particular set of circumstances to integrate it and these circumstances determine its emergence and the specific form the emergence took. We are looking at a new and complete society in which previously existing elements are rear ranged into a new pattern. Throughout this discussion the relativity of the industrial order to other aspects of the modern society must be seen; it cannot be isolated from its complex back grounds else the effects it has upon simpler societies will not be grasped. It is a complete way of life competing with other complete ways of life and, its power being greater, it substitutes where the competition takes place. It will be observed that it is not identical with a specific kind of economic order so far as it appears to be able to operate in the great capitalist states like America and Britain and yet to function as well in a socialist order. No greater mistake could be made than to confuse industrialisation with a specific economic system although, historically , its association is greater in time than with the newer forms of society of a socialist type. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

Retail trade m the rural Bantu areas of the Eastern Cape has until recent years been the near-monopoly of the Whites, who still retain the bulk of this business. White traders provide the channel through which most goods are imported' into these areas and it is through them that a large part of all local produce is exported'. They act as 'middlemen', buying local produce for resale on the local domestic market. They are an important source of credit and their trading stations are important social centres in the normal run of events of the local communities. White traders have always offered other services apart from merely supplying material needs. They act as postmasters and there are frequent calls for their advice, and in cases of illness and birth, for their motor cars. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

Industrial development in a border area: facts and figures from East London

- Description: In the early 1950’s the area of the eastern Cape Province adjoining the Transkei was the object of an intensive study known as the Border Regional Survey and five volumes have already been published. This work is a more detailed investigation of one aspect of the economy, namely the growth of manufacturing industry. Its importance lies in the fact that not only is the African population increasing rapidly, but that effective rehabilitation of peasant farming in the Transkei and Ciskei must necessarily displace large numbers from the land. Expansion of manufacturing industry would appear to be the most effective means of providing remunerative employment for these people, Moreover, the government has embarked upon a policy of encouraging the establishment of factories on the periphery of the Bantu areas, and the eastern Cape is an important area in this general scheme. It may well be the most crucial testing point of the whole policy of border industries', because with its large Transkeian hinterland it is the area most in need of expanding employment opportunities; but, at the same time, by reason of locational and other disabilities, it is the area in which industrial expansion may be most difficult to achieve. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

- Description: The town chosen for examination was King William’s Town, in the Border region of the Cape Province. Dating back over a century and more to the days of the old British Kaffraria, the town has existed long enough to build up an apparently stable population with its own way of life. Today about fourteen-and-a-half thousand souls live in the borough, of whom under seven thousand are Whites. The community lie s in a region of small towns, dominated by the nearby city of East London, which is about 40 miles away on the coast, and provides one of the smaller of the harbours on the eastern coastline of the Republic. King William's Town is a compact, apparently static community, and seems to be typical of many small inland towns in South Africa. Its ways of life and problems probably match those of not a few other towns in the Republic. What types of people live in a small town such as King William’s Town, and what do they think about their community? Where have the people in the town come from, and are they likely to stay on in the community, or leave it? How do they earn their living, and does the town provide a living for the younger generation, or must they leave to seek work elsewhere? These are key questions, involving important aspects of town life, which there search project attempts to answer. The study concentrates on the Whites living in the community, and analyses them in some d e tail. It describes the different types of people to be found in the town, and shows how they earn their living.

Elderly whites in Grahamstown: a survey of their socio-economic characteristics, housing needs and preferences

- Description: During 1960 a survey was made of the elderly White population of Grahamstown, and its characteristics. In particular, housing needs and preferences were investigated with a view to uncovering problems. Housing meets the basic need of man for shelter. Satisfactory housing provides not merely shelter alone, but meets important social, psychological and physical needs of the inhabitants. The situation in regard to the housing of the elderly must not be ignored, for as Tunbridge has pointed out, 'the need for adequate housing of the elderly is vital, because the added strain of living in unsuitable accommodation may precipitate disability and dependency'. The survey was undertaken by the Department of Sociology of Rhodes University. Structured interviews were conducted with a probability cluster sample of elderly Whites. The fieldwork was carried out on a part-time basis by twenty- five second-year Sociology students after an initial period of training. Generally people were most co-operative, and the elderly appreciated an interest being taken in their needs and preferences. Response was obtained from a total of 102, or 86.5 per cent of the persons aged 60+ years in the sample. Fuller details of the sampling design are given for the technical reader in Appendix B. The sample is considered to be free from major biases, and provides an estimate of the position prevailing in the total population of elderly Whites in Grahamstown. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

- Description: For some years the Institute of Social and Economic Research at Rhodes University has been engaged in an intensive study of the area of the Eastern Province of the Union of South Africa known to South Africans as the Border Region. By a singular chance an invitation from the East London Divisional Council to investigate the condition of a Border village arose when, in the course of a visit from its Secretary, sufficient data was shown concerning the conditions of village life in the region, to suggest that a special study should be made of rural problems on an intensive basis. In the first instance the enquiry directed to the Institute was administrative in the sense that difficulties were arising in the villages to warrant the establishment of sufficient authentic facts to point the way to methods of solving the immediate difficulties of the Council. While this object has not been overlooked, and it would have been less than courteous to have overlooked the demand that brought-the research into being, it has been thought necessary to widen the scope of the investigation to include materials that go beyond the administrative needs of the Council. The scope of the investigation has been widened to include an analysis of the village community as well as a co-ordinated body of brute fact. While "irreducible fact" is the basis on which the investigation rests, the attempt has been made to isolate meaning and significance of the data; it is in the latter field that deeper aspects of administrative decisions lie more often than in mountains of fact no matter how reliable. A community is an organised unit; there is no simple explanation of the way in which human social institutions work except by analysing the behaviour of people in their everyday activity. The manner in which the organisation works and be more or less efficient and there was prima facie evidence that the community of Macleantown was not organised to yield maximal efficiency. The causative factors involved in this drop in efficiency thus becomes one of the basic tasks , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

- Description: In this paper an analysis is developed of the characteristics of a group of Europeans who have been declared to be living in houses unfit for habitation in terms of the criteria laid down in the Slums Act No. 53 of 1934. It is assumed, for purposes of analysis, that the group will be transferred to municipal housing and that, like the Coloured and Africans in the City of Grahamstown, economic rent scales will be applied. This paper is, therefore, concerned with the present condition of the tenants in the slum but is predictive in terms of what will most probably happen if they are transferred to better municipally owned housing under economic rentals. The specific reasons why economic rent, without subsidisation, is likely to be applied to this group need not concern us in this paper. Even if an economic rent is not applied the discussion is held to be of value so far as sets up standards and techniques by which levels of subsidisation, if applied, might be measured. Further, the data is held to be factually interesting so far as it relates to the poverty of Europeans on which, little has been written for some years. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

Representatives of the City Council discussed the possible methods of meeting the situation which had arisen with Central Government officers. It was agreed later that I be asked to develop a systematic study of the problems on a wider scale and that this report be submitted to the Central Government on its completion. In conformity with this request I submit the present report. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)
