Seated at Mendel's beautifully carved black desk in a sunny window in Brno, he is examining, listing, and cataloguing the remaining papers and documents of Gregor Johann Mendel, the founder of the science of genetics. His hopes and plans for a great Mendel Institute for the study of the history and theory of biology have not materialized, but his new work is progressing and plans are being made for a Mendel Centennial in Brno in 1965. We had spent some days in Prague in the summer of 1961. At the Biological Institute of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, Drs. Alena Lengerova and Marta Voiti'kova showed us some of their research on mice, ducks, and guinea fowls. We saw other research on beans and lotus. The Institute is in the process of rebuilding and expansion. We also visited Professor Karel Hruby, Chairman of the Department of Genetics at Charles University, and his co-workers. He showed us the proofs of his comprehensive new text book Genetika, published by the Academy of Sciences, in which Mendelian genetics is presented in detail. We also saw some of his collection of miniature moths and his manuscript about them in Czech and Latin. As President of the Botanical Society of Czechoslovakia, he is deep in plans for their Jubilee Congress to be held in July of this year. It was he who telephoned to the University in Brno to make possible our rewarding visit there. Driving east of Prague on Saturday morning through the beautiful August countryside with its lovely hills and valleys, we saw farmers harvesting peas, the crop with which Mendel was familiar from childhood. It seems likely that he had noted the variable characteristics of pea plants as a young person and set up his experiments with them to work out principles governing their transmission. Occasionally, we stopped to take pictures of scenes reminiscent of the harvesting operations on our Canadian prairies some 30 years ago. The ripe grain was in golden stooks, and horse-drawn racks collected the luxurious forage in the fields. In the towns, we passed sandy-colored, plastered houses. Occasionally there was harvesting by hand scythes; hand-drawn carts, oxen, and geese made it seem almost a fairy-tale land.","PeriodicalId":366088,"journal":{"name":"AIBS Bulletin","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1962-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128644167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Why Should We Subscribe to a Translation of Doklady 我们为什么要订阅《淑女》的译本

In this respect, the USSR, in particular, is doing splendid work in studying our physical and natural scientific literature and in translating and publishing enormous numbers of our texts and monographs. In the capacity of the Advisory Editor of the translation journal of the Doklady Botanical Sciences Sections Akademii Nauk SSSR, I constantly come across citations dated one year or more later than the publication of the same book in English. On checking, I find inevitably that the date referred to is that of the Russian translation of the English book. American scientists, on the other hand, are far less familiar with the Russian scientific literature. Because very few Americans know the language, our translation programs are limited. The limited knowledge of Russian literature often leads some scientists to the rather superficial conclusion that Russian research in biology, and in botany in particular, is guided by the prevalent theory held by those in political power. Some experiences in the past may have provided a foundation for this belief, but the USSR, being a dynamic society, changes and so does the attitude of the powers towards research and scientific freedom. It is true that scientific research in the USSR is organized and specialized, but that does not prevent valuable work being done. There are many scientific institutions in the USSR; some are connected with universities, regional academies, agricultural stations and forestry organizations, and others are connected with tropical, mountain, desert, swamp and polar stations. All of these institutions employ researchers who publish their results in either local publications or society journals. The most important papers are submitted to the supreme arbiter of research in natural sciences, the Akademii Nauk SSSR. Doklady Akademii Nauk is the official publication of this organization. It comes out in six volumes yearly, each containing some 1500 pp and good illustrations. Various groups of physical and natural sciences are represented in the Doklady, and the papers are sponsored accordingly by the academician in the particular field of knowledge. The papers in the field of biology, biochemistry and botany are translated from cover to cover in this country by the American Institute of Biological Sciences under a grant from the National Science Foundation. There are three translation journals which cover corresponding material of the Doklady. They are (1) Doklady Biological Sciences Sections, Dr. Charles C. Davis, Advisory Editor, (2) Doklady Biochemistry Sections, Dr. Jacob A. Stekol, Advisory Editor, and (3) Doklady Botanical Sciences Sections, Dr. Helen P. Sorokin, Advisory Editor.

Touchstones for Teaching Teachers 教师教学的试金石

{"title":"Touchstones for Teaching Teachers","authors":"F. Erk","doi":"10.2307/1292991","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/1292991","url":null,"abstract":"PERHAPS the most significant feature of the current efforts to improve the curricular offerings in secondaryschool science and mathematics is the interest shown in the problem by scientists and mathematicians in higher education and industry. Possibly this interest has always been there, lying dormant, but now these men and women have had machinery provided which not only allows secondary-school teachers and supervisory personnel to meet and discuss their problems with scientists but also has permitted scientists to work with the schools in developing new programs which are being tried in the classroom. In biology, the central effort toward the development of new secondary-school courses is being directed by the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study. The BSCS is sponsored by The American Institute of Biological Sciences, representing more than 80,000 biologists, and is supported financially by grants from the National Science Foundation. Quite independently of the BSCS instructional materials, a number of schools have developed excellent programs of their own. The increasing number of schools throughout the country that will be doing something significantly different in biology instruction over the next several years presents a real challenge to the colleges whose job it is to prepare teachers who will be trained to do a competent job in these new programs. It now behooves any institution of higher learning, which has as one of its roles the preparation of teachers of biology for the secondary schools, to recognize quickly the import of the revolution that is occurring on the secondary level and to participate in a searching self-examination to see whether it is indeed ready to assume the responsibility for preparing teachers of these new curricular offerings. It is too often assumed that the colleges and universities are naturally the educational pacemakers in a given field of science. But this can be true only as long as colleges continue to improve their own science programs in response to new stimuli from both scientific and educational sources. I think we must admit that, in a number of institutions now preparing teachers, the biology programs have tended to become ossified. The course offerings have not changed essentially in a generation. They still have a taxonomic-morphological orientation, emphasizing nomenclature and descriptive organic diversity at the expense of the study of basic concepts which stress features common to all living matter. Introductory college biology which consists primarily of an extensive survey of the plant and animal kingdoms is hardly defensible today. The morphology of organisms and their classification are of course important, but they should not be studied as if they were the essence of the subject to the exclusion of the physiological, genetic, developmental, ecological, behavioral and evolutionary aspects of living matter. It seems appropriate to suggest several questions which teacher-training institutions","PeriodicalId":366088,"journal":{"name":"AIBS Bulletin","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1962-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125121288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
