| Sumario: | gThis article presents brief information about several reports, based on certain topics, that are published as of November 1961. Among these reports are: "Training Opportunities for Women and Girls, 1960"; "Are School Teachers Illiberally Educated?," by Earl J. McGrath and Charles H. Russell; "Science Information Personnel," by Leonard Cohan and Kenneth Craven; and "Report of Three Day Conference on Narcotic Addiction and the Teenager, 1959." The report "Training Opportunities for Women and Girls," begins with an argument for the importance of formal job training. There follows a description of the major types of available training facilities. The bulk of the report comprises a discussionof training opportunities in specific fields ranging from computer programming to washing and ironing. Now and then one finds an unnecessary and questionable statement regarding the characteristics demanded by a particular kind of work. A concluding section pleads for an increase in the number of kinds of training facilities available to women.
