That if the atomic energy program is so oriented, I wonder, however, how they would feel about "nature study" Jal said to get appreciation of value of basic research, he feels one must start in India at the college level. Most of their chart materials and other teaching aids try to extend learning beyond the level of rote memorization but the Institute is just beginning this kind of effort. Indian school children either get no science in school or a potent if they want to go into science. There is no general exposure to science. Jal feels that science training probably should become compulsory like 3 Rs. Even those who do not go into science would be helped. The poverty of the people limits greatly what can be done. Most children must work after school. They do not even have time for sports. About 50% are so affected. There is little money for hobbies nor is there time for science
