A printed form allowed all important aspects of labour to be recorded at regular intervals. Students were expected to predict the time of delivery, based on the normal sigmoid curve. At weekly seminars these records were analyzed and students quickly learned to detect protracted labour and to determine the cause. While especially helpful in...

Our understanding of educational processes is often obscured by ideological considerations. This is very well illustrated in the common term, ‘assimilation’, used to characterise European colonial policy towards Africa. Thus it is often asserted that French authorities promoted the emergence of a class of ‘black Frenchmen’, with values, aspirations, and cognitive styles analogous to those of European educational institutions. In contrast, the British have been viewed as repudiating such a...

Previous aerosol studies have shown that large quantities of dust are often present in the trade winds entering the Caribbean area; indirect evidence suggested that this material was derived from arid regions in Africa. We report here on a dust event which we observed at Barbados on June 12, 1967, and which we have traced to a dust storm covering a large area of West Africa on June 7, 1967; the storm is clearly visible in an ESSA 5 satellite photograph. The composition of the dust from this...
