In an article on educational planning, C. Arnold Anderson and Mary Jean Bowman (1968) suggest that there is a conflict between equity and efficiency in the distribution of schools. Since independence, each Anglophonic African state has altered the English educational inheritance of local religious and voluntary schools and has opted in favor of a more centralized system of state control. Centralized control, according to Anderson and Bowman, could theoretically act as a vehicle for an...

Take a bit of history Prior to the Second World War industrial training in South Africa meant the training of white artisans and officials for employment in the gold and coal mines and the comparatively modest industrial enterprises. The war resulted in greatly intensified training activity in the South African Defence Force, in industry itself and as part of the Empire Air Training Scheme for the Allied Air Forces, notably South African Air Force and the RAF. This latter training effort...

While conducting research on the occupational and educational aspirations and expectations of secondary-school students in Kenya during 1972, I obtained quantitative and qualitative data from a sample of 699 African students indicating that the problem of crime among unemployed school leavers is likely to substantially worsen in the coming years. The purpose of this article is to present that data within the context of a discussion of secondary education, unemployment, and crime in Kenya.

FAHRMEIER, EDWARD D. The Effect of School Attendance on Intellectual Development in Northern Nigeria. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1975, 46, 281-285.

Schooled children had significantly higher scores on most tests throughout the age range tested, but since these...

South Africa has a well developed and thriving Merchant Navy backed up by an efficient and modern navy. In its early days all training for these two services was done overseas but in 1921 a training ship was donated to the country to enable young South Africans to train as naval cadets. This aim was later changed to training merchant navy cadets and a two year course was instituted leading to a school leaving certificate. During World War 2 the ship was returned to the British Navy and her...

The ultrastructural alterations occurring in the bronchial epithelium of Syrian golden hamsters treated once weekly for life with 0.63 mg BP were examined during the first 20 weeks of treatment. It was demonstrated that epithelial cells penetrated the basement membrane thus finally forming small bronchogenic tumours (adenomata) composed of ciliated, nonciliated and a few basal cells. No squamous metaplasis occurred.

In the course of the interpretation of an aero‐magnetic survey of Algeria, techniques based on spectral analysis were found to be quite useful in the determination of volcanic thicknesses and the resolution of underlying structural trends in a mineralized region near Silet. One‐dimensional analysis, applied to a series, of traverses crossing the area, indicates the average thickness of volcanics to be about 100 m. Two‐dimensional spectra were used to design appropriate filters for...
