Stobbe, R. 1963 Kuala Lumpur Feb. 6 There was a desk lamp for each student. Blackboard space was ample. 32 students could be accommodated. Texts are - Annual Biol., Gray and Hewell; Textbook of Botany, Lowson and Sahni; and Animal Biol. for the Tropics, Purchon. The students have cleaned and mounted skeletons of dog, cat, etc., have prepared study skins. They are encouraged to join the "Nature Society", a federal society with branches in each Malayan state. We also saw physiological equipment including respirometer. Mr. Chye said excellence in equipment depends a lot on the teacher - if the teacher is enthusiastic and goes after it, the government will come through. Glassware, incidentally, is obtained from England or Europe (Germany). Locally manufactured glass is inadequate. Schools can no longer import glassware, etc. duty free. Science students cost the school about $10 each a year ($20 for Form 6 students). There are about equal numbers of arts and science students in the school.
