Over 50 people attended this seminar, organised by the Department of Natural Sciences of U.N.E.S.C.O., including 32 specialists from 22 African university institutions. Documents had previously been submitted by each participating country, summarising the following data on science faculties: numbers of lecturers and students, capacity of departments, facilities for teaching and research, and development plans. The working languages were English and French; simultaneous interpretation was provided. The seminar was conducted mainly in plenary sessions; papers written mostly by U.N.E.S.C.O. consultants served as bases for discussing the teaching of specific subjects (mathematics, physics, geology, chemistry, and biology), the emphasis throughout being on first-year university work. More general topics included co-operation between university and government, and between African countries in science teaching.

As an independent basic social science, the study of politics occupies an important position among all the social sciences. In 1952, however, China abolished political science teaching and research. This was a mistake which is now being corrected. China has reestablished the field of political science in recent years.When a historical event is shown to be mistaken, people often like to describe the reasons for its having taken place as very absurd and unimaginable, as though to demonstrate how confused people were at that time compared with how smart we are now. Such a simple attitude, however, will not help us in understanding the realities scientifically nor will it help us in learning from the lessons of history, and is therefore to be avoided.This essay describes both objective conditions and the way people thought, both in the early 1950s and after 1976. It deals with two opposite events: first, the abolition of political science in China three decades ago, and second, its current revival.

The British Government became increasingly aware during the Napoleonic Wars of the contrast between the organization of science teaching and research on the Continent under state patronage and the paucity of official interest and encouragement in this country. When it was seen how quickly Napoleon was able to mobilize the French scientific and technological teaching establishments with their staffs and pupils to the war effort, successive British administrations during the first decades of the nineteenth century came to realise that some attempt must be made through the use of central funds to encourage both teaching and research in these neglected fields. Substantial annual grants were allocated to certain scientific institutions, and among other methods adopted were the payment of stipends to science teachers in the universities, and the granting of annuities to some of the more prominent and indigent private investigators. The funds available for distribution were extremely limited during the war and post-war periods, and the grants had to be spread so widely and meagrely that the Treasury was constrained to take special care that every application was carefully scrutinized and balanced, in order that no precedent should be created which would open the door to unlimited expectations from all and sundry.

ABSTRACTThe objectives of this research were to know the effect of ewe’s age on curve of milk yield reared on grazing. This research was done in The Jonggol Animal Science Teaching, and Research Unit (JASTRU) located in Singasari Village, Jonggol, Bogor district. As many 100 local sheep comprises of pregnant and lactating ewes on average 1-4 years old were used in this research. The sheeps were grazed from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and housed on night. The result showed that ewe’s age different effect its of curve milk yield. Lactation peak is expected within 1-2 weeks of lambing, followed by a decreasing phase to the 16 weeks. Decreace of theewes 1 year age showed is not stable if comparation the ewes 3-4 year age.Key words : ewes, curve milk yield,grazing system.
