Anderson's most ambitious experiment in his frequent use of religious mode is the four-story sequence of "Godliness." Despite his efforts, the longest story is frequently criticized unfavorably or generally unheeded of all Winesburg stories. Following closely through the history of the Bentley family who "had been in Northern Ohio for several generations," however, the story reveals, without Anderson's intention perhaps, some humorously gloomy phase of human experience inherent in the materialistic age. During the summer of 1917 Anderson described his protagonist as a "delightful old man" named Joseph Bentley, "full of old Bible thoughts and impulses." Jarvis Thurston surmised that "Godliness" was the matrix of a novel Anderson recast to form part of Winesburg. The change of name, however, came about before he change a "delightful old man" to a "man of god." It is the known fact in Clyde that the first settler or "squatter" was a man named Jesse Benton. He built a crude cabin by the side of a spring adjacent to the house where Sherwood Anderson used to live. Anderson supposedly hit upon the name and the story unfolds differently. The story of Jesse's family tree might be happily associated with Biblical Jesse tree but Anderson made it an apple tree with full of twisted apples. The burlesque give Winesburg a significance which transcends its attachment to a specific time and place.

KAMAGASAKI in Osaka prefecture is one of the places which were called "Yoseba" in Japanese-the black market for supplying day-labour force. Though the word 'Yoseba' reminds the Japanese people only of KAMAGASAKI, SANYA in Tokyo and KOTOBUKI-CHO in Kanagawa, most of the large cities in Japan have a place like that. People always try to forget the fact that those places exist in their neighborhood with a sense of discrimination. Before its 'First Uprising (in August, 1961)', KAMAGASAKI was not a mere "Yoseba" but a kind of slum as well. By taking a close look at the area before the first uprising I would like to show how the people constructed the social problems of KAMAGASAKI concerning 1) Residence, 2) Labour, 3) Children, and 4) Crime including Delinquency and Prostitution. In other words, this paper aims to make clear how the problems sociologists and journalists constructed about KAMAGASAKI before the first uprising were succeeded to administration of Osaka city and modified and distorted.

The present study was to determine whether the EEG biofeedback training could affect the behavioral measures of finger tapping interval and pressure. In Experiment 1 the alpha bidrectional controls of increase and decrease were given to 18 college sutdents to observe the following behavioral modification of tapping. Each subject was undertaken 5 biofeedback training trials of 3 min., tapping being measured in the periods of preceding and following biofeedback training. The results showed that the tapping pressure decreased sigificantly with no difference in training condition, while no marked biofeedback training effect for both directions was appeared. Twenty six subjects were participated in Experiment 2 in order to enhance the effect of alpha biofeedback training using a prolonged period of training. The alpha increase training was given to 16 experimental subjects and to 10 control subjects for 3 days each. The evident effect of alpha increase training was observed in the experimental group with the significant decrease of tapping pressure, while no significant changes in EEG and behavioral measure were obtained for control group. Taken these experiments together, it can be concluded that the EEG biofeedback training can modify the following behavioral measure of tapping pressure, which would imply the useful technique in the clinical field.
