represent universal thought on this subject.
The speeches, papers, discussions, exhibits, and motion pictures at the
Conference mirrored the breadth and contrasts of contemporary physics
instruction, vitally important to both scientifically advanced and scientifically

These suggestions and reports from around the world, presented in
this book, will be helpful to all educators, and particularly to those with
responsibility for training physicists. Its chapters deal with matters such
as testing, selection of students, training of teachers, the use of audio-visual
aids, and activities of professional organizations.
