Stebbins, R. 1963 104 Asian Trip Karachi Jan. 22 The botanical laboratory was along similar lines - stress on drawing and structural and taxonomic aspects. Their teacher did say, however, that the classes go into the field and collect & write notes. Plant specimens mounted on cardboard and covered with cellophane were seen. Locality data were lacking in precision, however. Botanical specimens preserved in formalin were seen. Stress is on the local flora. Visited an art class. The children were working in pencil and were learning shading. A group of small children in the same room were cutting and pasting colored paper mockups of human figures. In the school yard was a group of 10-12 children being taught to play flutes. This school seems to stress the aesthetic aspect of life. A study of weaving is being started. Mr. Malik did say, however, that she was planning to set up some live animal exhibits. In aquaria n tenaria were seen. In the library I saw copies of "The Young Obasuna" by M. Martindale A. Allcott and "Nature Rambles" by M. Martindale. I suspect that this is one of the top schools in the country.
