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. "The overall result

should be a great strengthen
ing of the course content of
science teaching in our sec
ondary schools."
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.

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

Morse said he and Ullman
had received "numerous" let
