The issue of productive labour in African school systems raises very different questions from the experience of this in either Russia or China [1]. At first sight, such work seems now to be conspicuously absent from the primary and secondary schools of most countries except Tanzania. Nevertheless, it has begun to be the subject of some considerable debate even in those countries where it does not apparently figure at all in the ordinary school curriculum [2]. The reasons have to do with the...

Traditional agriculture, based on the maximisation of security, was necessary within the context of traditional society, but it is inappropriate for the earning of the money necessary to live in a modern society. For this an individual frequently aims at the maximisation of profits, and in doing so takes risks which a traditional cultivator would not take. It is not just a matter of his working harder, but also his adopting the improved techniques and improved inputs of modern technology2...

Abstract The Cape Hoskins volcanoes form part of the Quaternary volcanic island arc that extends from Rabaul in the east to the Schouten Islands in the west, and they overlie the northerly dipping New Britain Benioff Zone. The products of the volcanoes range in composition from basalt to rhyolite, and are normative in quartz and hypersthene. They contain phenocrysts of plagioclase and subordinate augite, hypersthene, and in most samples iron‐titanium oxides; some samples also contain olivine...

Indigenously sponsored private schools appeared in many, if not most, countries which experienced a period of colonial rule. The instruction given in these schools was usually confined to the elementary level, and the language of instruction varied according to local circumstances. While these schools have been known under a variety of names, the designation that is perhaps most widely used is ‘free school’.

Data, suggesting that the exposure of pictorially relatively unsophisticated subjects to stereograms is likely to alleviate their difficulties in perception of pictorial depth in ordinary stimuli, are presented. It is suggested that this remedial measure may prove efficacious in populations that are experiencing such difficulties and are hence handicapped in their use of visual aids.

A catalogue of 1873–1972 earthquakes with M > 6.9 for the New Guinea—Solomon Islands region (130–165° E) is compiled. There are 152 events listed. Duda's (1965) results for 1900–1968 are improved for the Papua New Guinea area (141–156° E) because of the availability of historical data for that area. Although there is evidence of rapid Holocene uplift in the main seismic zones, there is little historical evidence for visible uplift or subsidence resulting directly from modern major...

Though the problem areas of medical education in Africa have been defined and steps have been taken to attack them, notably by preparing teaching staff as agents of change and by opening teacher-training centres, progress cannot be otherwise than slow.

Abstract When Tuluman volcano, in St Andrew Strait, northern Bismarck Sea, erupted between 1953 and 1957, it produced acid rocks similar in major element chemistry to those of three other islands in the Strait — Lou, Pam Lin, and Pam Mandian. These acid rocks — termed the TLP’ series — are thought to represent magmas, or to be derivatives of a parental magma, produced by melting of crust (about 25 km thick beneath St Andrew Strait). TLP rocks have agpaitic indices ranging between 0.86 and...

A test of learning ability for guinea-pigs is described. A T-shaped water maze was used, in which the animals were required to swim into one or the other of the arms to escape from the water. In this situation guinea-pigs readily learned a spatial discrimination and its reversal. They continued to thrive during the period of testing.

EACH week, 70 physicians crowd into a small lecture room adjacent to the outpatient clinic of the Shifa Hospital in the city of Gaza. The practicing clinicians, residents, and interns who comprise this "class" come regularly to attend a series of lectures in electrocardiography and clinical cardiology. Unusual? Not for the average hospital in the United States, but these are Arab physicians trained in Egypt, and the lecturers are Israeli physicians who have been sent to Gaza by the...

Recent reviews dealing with psychiatry in sub-Saharan Africa have stressed the overall similarity in the incidence of psychiatric conditions and their diagnostic distribution to those seen in other parts of the world (German, 1972; Giel and Van Luijk, 1969; German and Arya, 1969). All authors emphasize, however, that some clinical pictures seen in Africa, such as those of depression and anxiety states, vary from the manifestations one encounters in European and North American patients.
