While attitudes about love and marriage of youth in most Western countries have been studied, the Senegalese youths' attitudes represent the specific interests of a society in which traditional social and religious values of adolescents in school are challenged as they are exposed to new values and attitudes. Despite a growing preference for romantic love and a desire for greater self-assertion in selection of a mate, the youths' attitudes toward love and marriage remain generally conservative.

An article published in Beirut in 1883 sheds important light on this. External impulses were important, but much of the development effort was indigenous. There were significant differences in the level of education between towns and the countryside, between regions, and between religious sects. Mount Lebanon is traditionally...

Abstract RB-Sr and Sm-Nd isotopic and trace-element-abundance values have been determined for 15 mafic and intermediate rocks from six Pleistocene volcanic centres of the Fly-Highlands province. 87Sr/86Sr and ϵN d values range from 0.70362 to 0.70540, and +1.9 to +5.9, respectively. These new data can be accounted for by contamination of mantle-derived magmas by the continental crust through which the magmas have risen. They do not, however, preclude derivation of some of the Sr and Nd from...

A study of the attitudes of school girls in Benin City, Nigeria, toward abortion and contraception was carried out in three of the city's postprimary schools, using a uniform multiple-choice questionnaire. The findings show that although a significant proportion of the school girls had resorted to abortion to solve their problem of unwanted pregnancy, liberalized abortion law was only favored by a minority (approx. 30%). Also, although this indicated a high rate of sexual activity, their...

It is suggested that these criticisms are ill founded and that they are more often than not based on a misconception of the emirs' power in the colonial situation. It is argued that the emirs were not de facto rulers of their respective emirates and had no powers to initiate educational...

Three centuries of French government with a colonial policy of cultural assimilation have earned Senegal a rich yet ambiguous educational system. While contributing to the full development of the country one consequent would restrict separateness of cultural identity for the Senegalese and require adaptation of the French educational system to their specific needs. This paper examines the history of Senegal's integration as a colony with the French educational system and the problems from...
