G'evening Carl,
CB> Oops, I forgot about this!  Please forgive.  I just got 18
CB> surplus computers from the US Army--so I have been very
CB> busy checking them out and handing them over to teachers.
CB> Will get it tomorrow.
Anybody engaged in making ploughshares from swords for fallow fields
is forgiven much....
CB> Yes, he was a distant relative - remember sociograms?
Ummm - yes... but does the name Jacob L. Moreno ("Who shall survive ?",
1934) stir a memory ?  His book proposed methodology for dealing with
group dynamics - including the dreaded sociograms...
CB> In my sociology classes, my instructors would pause when they
CB> first read my name, look at me, then ask me the same question. So,
CB> I learned quickly why he was important.
T'was because of an instrument called the "Bogardus Scale of Social
Distance",  which helped chart the dynamics of racism - and allowed
comedians to make famous the question "Would you let you sister marry
one ?".
CB> All Bogarduses, (Bogardi?) are related to one person who settled
CB> in Manhatten Island when it was New Amsterdam.  I have a copy of
CB> one of his texts, and I am looking for any other information if you
CB> run accross some.
Mmmm... a quick scan of my notes and references include the following
items...
"Social Psychology", ES Bogardus, 4th Editon, 1923;
"Immigration and Race Attitudes, ES Bogardus, 1928; and
"A Social Distance Scale", ES Bogardus, Sociol. and Soc. Res., 1933, 17,
 pp265-271.
No publishers' names, I'm sorry.
These works are often cited by other authors up to the late `50's,  but
the search found no other sources;  hope they might be of some interest.
