THIS STUDY GIVES OBSERVATIONS OF THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM OF THE HUTTERITES AS A METHOD OF SOCIALIZATION. THE VALUES TRANSMITTED TO CHILDREN IN SUCH A COMMUNAL SOCIETY ARE EXPLORED. THE COLLECTIVE-ORIENTED PERSONALITY IS PRESENTED AS IT IS DERIVED FROM THE MORAL TEACHINGS. WAYS IN WHICH PERSONS DEVIATE FROM COMMUNITY TEACHINGS AND BECOME DEFECTORS ARE ALSO EXAMINED. DOCUMENTS ON CHILD REARING, SOCIALIZATION, AND THE HUTTERITE CHARTER ARE INCLUDED. (LP)
