Minear said STEP will act as a clearing house to facili tate reciprocal teacher visits. Progress Made Toward Improvement Of Science Teaching in High Schools By LOUIS CASSELS ' UPI Correspondent The United States is making "definite progress" t o ward the -improvement of science teaching in its high schools. That heartening report comes from one of the nation's greatest "teaching scientists," Dr. Glenn T. Seaborg. . Dr. Seaborg recently was named chairman of the U.S. Atomic Energy commission. Prior to that, he was chancel lor of the University of Cali fornia at Berkeley. But he is most famous as a research chemist who won the Nobel prize for the discovery of Plu tonium and other new ele ments heavier than uranium. Along with many other leading scientists, Dr. Seaborg has been deeply involved in the national effort to strength en high school science pro grams. He heads a committee which has produced a new high school chemistry text book and related laboratory materials that are vastly su perior to anything now avail able to teachers. The new chemistry course is being tested this year in some Cali fornia schools, and will under go further testing and re vision next year. By 1963, it should be available for gen eral use. Strengthening Seen "Similar course changes are being tested in mathematics, biology and physics," Dr. Sea borg said.

He sees reason for cheer also in the "new emphasis on laboratory work" which is evi dent in high schools across the country. Most authorities agree that science cannot be taught effectively without laboratory work. But U.S. high schools in the past have been woefully lacking in laboratory equipment. That deficiency is being remedied in a great many schools with the help of fed eral grants under the National Defense Education act. More than $75 million in federal grants have been used for procurement of equipment for high school science teaching, and under the law, each dol lar had to be matched with a dollar in local funds. Finally - and most impor tant - some headway Is being made in improvement of teacher training. This prob lem is crucial because the finest science textbooks and the best-equipped laboratories are useless without competent teachers. The United States still is In an extremely weak position in this regard. The National Science F o u n dation reports that of the 22,000 new math and science teachers hired by U.S. high schools annually, only 6,000 are fully accredited with a college-major In the field they are to teach, ' Although he acknowledges that "the prospects of an early solution of this problem are not . good," Dr. Seaborg be lieves that the picture is slow ly brightening. Variety of Institutes The National Science Foun dation, the Atomic Energy Commission and other public and private agencies are spon soring a wide variety of sum mer institutes, in - service training programs and other courses through which high school science teachers may strengthen their qualifica tions. , - The nationally - televised science course called "Conti nental Classroom" also has given high school teachers an opportunity to see how their subjects are taught by experts. Also, several organizations have put on the market filmed courses in science, including chemistry and physics, which may be used by high schools as an adjunct or in aire straits as a substitute for competent classroom teachers:,.' 'x':-.-,i Dr. Seaborg does not under estimate the vast amount of work still to be done In Im proving high school science teaching. But he believes that if the nation will "continue and accelerate its present mo mentum" toward that goal, it can achieve a "virtual revolu tion" in science teaching by the end of the 1980s. t And that," he said, "will mark an historic advance in our educational process."

" " Range Use Cut To Be Discussed Washington (UPI) - Sen. Wayne Morse (D-Ore.) said Thursday that he and Rep. Al Ullman (D-Ore.) planned to meet with Eastern Oregon ranchers and government per sonnel to discuss proposals to cut range use. Morse said the conferences would be held in the late sum mer or- early fall after Con gress adjourns.
