Marriage increased in the United States from I920 to I930 even when age, nativity, and urban-rural composition are held constant. Early marriage is not increasing. Urban-rural differences and sex differences are less. There are fewer widowed. The volume of marriage among men is nearly the same under varying social conditions, while among women it varies more widely. The large cities discourage marriage, if farms be taken as the norm, by I5 per cent. The country is becoming somewhat more homogeneous in respect to marriage. There have been a number of significant changes in regard to marriage in the United States since the census of I920. In this paper there will be analyzed and discussed a number of the more important changes for which data exist. THE INCREASE IN MARRIAGE The number of marriages increased, per unit of population, from I920 to I930. In I920 there were 599 married out of every i,ooo persons fifteen years old and older, while in I930 there were 605. Why has there been an increase in the numbers married? One possible reason is that the adult population of the present day may have a greater average age than the population of earlier decades, for among the younger ages there are fewer married than among those a little older. There is a technique which can be used to eliminate this variation in age of the population between different years so that comparisons can be made in the percentages married on the basis of populations of the same age. Applying this technique,

The sociology of childhood has been used increasingly as a theoretical perspective in early childhood education since the late 1980s. In Australia, those who draw on the sociology of childhood have tended to use it in similar ways to European counterparts, being guided by six major tenets identified by Prout and James (1997) that form the basis of the sociology of childhood. These include the notion that childhood is a social construction, that childhood is a variable of social analysis and is closely connected to other variables such as class and gender, and that children's relationships and cultures are worthy of study in their own right (p. 8). Further, children are considered as active (rather than passive) agents in their daily lives and to be competent and knowledgeable about their own lives (p. 8). Although the sociology of childhood is comparatively young, there has been little analysis of the key tenets of the position. Morss is an exception and raises some fundamental issues for consideration, which include refining the notion of the 'socially constructed child', a term that is used widely in much that written about the sociology of childhood.
