Puts Yearning Into Learning

Puts Yearning Into Learning
When the school bell rings this
fall. junior high-schoolers all ovel
America who are taking science
courses are going to have new helr
in integrating their studies with
their futures New visual aids fol
both teaching and learning, book
i lets and leaflets designed to dram
atize the need and purpose OF
science studies and to open to the
student practical. vistas of life and
achievement as an engineer or
scientist will give his lessons new
reality.
This augments junior high school
program will be instituted in over
$500 such schools during the year
as result of last years successful
pilot tests in so school systems.
1t is to be phase one of the mil
lion dollar, five year educational
program just announced by the
Manufacturing Chemists Associa
AT the same time, similar pi-
lot program will be tested 1T the
senior high school level to be made
available, probably early in 1857,
to the 11,700 U. S. high schools now
teaching chemistry-and the esti-
mated 100000 young people study
ing the subject.
During the next school year,
1957-1958, first contact will be made
with sixth grade students in ele-
mentary schoolsHthe point at
which the Association believes
youthful ambitions begin to sprout
and aptitudes are revealed. Stimuli
taneously with their use in the
schools, the program materials will
be made available to teachers col
leges throughout America.
Planning for a community-level
program in cities and towns where
chemical companies have plants
is getting under way in the form
of manual of suggested activities
in which industry executives and
educators may join hands tc add
fresh realism and a practicai back
ground to schoolroom studies and
laboratory work. The nationwide
potential of this phase is suggested
by the fact that Association mem
bers represent over 80 per cent
of the productive capacity of the
vast chemical industry.
The new science education pro-
gram is the Association answer
to its own study published in June
which revealed that there will be
a shortage of nearly half a million
scientists and engineers by 1865
$4,000 of them in the chemical in
! steps are taken to stimulate youth s
interest in scientific studies and to
help these young people prepare
for what are. admittedly tough
courses. "We are undertaking our
science education program" says
General John e. Hull Gu. S. A. ret.)
M. G. A. president, with the fer
vent hope that it will help to
alleviate the shortage"
This realistic plan, based on the
conviction that inspiration and en-
couragement are needed below the
college level, with provision for
such aid on a national scale, should
also inspire every other scientific,
engineering and industry associ-
alton to pitch in and help. The job
of helping our youngsters and
their teachers to cope with-and
master-our expanding technology
is big enough for everybody.
