February, R., 1960 Jan. 15 Asian Trip 36 New Delhi Jan. 15. Univ. of Calif., Los Angeles, Dr. Edward W. Bird, Commander, U.S. Navy, Bureau of Medicine & Surgery is directing the film program and Mrs. N.E. Bingham, Educational Television Teacher, North Central Florida Public Schools was present as an educational advisor. Saw most of film "Baboon Behavior" & all of "Darwin's Finches". The latter is supposed to be for elementary school children but I'm afraid it would not get across the idea of "natural selection" which was mentioned several times in the film. The Indian audience was quiet and uncommunicative. Auffenberg said their faces were immobile and he could not tell whether his remarks were pitched at the proper level. Upon arrival at the Central Institute, a member of us visited with Dr. Menon who is Head of the School of Education at the University of Delhi. Auffenberg & Boolootian were present. Dr. Menon told us that all children are required to take general science, & begin at the level of what they call the "middle" school. In Delhi in the last 3 years of secondary school, science is optional.
