Visually Impaired Students

A survey of itinerant teachers in Texas found that, despite the numerous shortcomings of the job, the respondents believed there were many advantages. The respondents further identified the much needed ability to adjust to change, to put things in perspective, to modify their expectations, and to exercise a healthy sense of humor. This article details these shortcomings and advantages, suggests strategies for overcoming obstacles, and discusses the implications of the findings for administrators of schools and personnel of teacher-training programs.

Guido Pontecorvo was elected a Fellow of The Royal Society in 1955 for his contributions to the genetics of Drosophila and the fungus Aspergillus nidulans . Pontecorvo was a leading British geneticist, prominent in the decade preceding the discovery of DNA, who enriched our understanding of genes and whose pioneering work on the parasexual cycle in fungi found application in human somatic cell genetics. Known to friends as Ponte, he had a strong personality. Somewhat irascible but warm, with a wry sense of humor, he made many lifelong friends and acquired a large body of admirers.

Mixed Feelings

In the 1930s, society in the country faces the opportunity for women to obtain equal suffrage. The intellectual elite refers to this possibility with mixed feelings. On one hand, there are undoubted successes of independent and confident Bulgarian women who have established themselves in their profession, on the other – they are still a minority. The majority of women with predominantly provincial origin have no university education and sufficient experience. Their participation in political elections that they do not understand can not bring about positive changes in the country. Boris Denev, an established and sought-after artist, actively making his mark as a publicist does not share such opinion. The sense of humor and irony that he uses in his feuilletons are not liked by the representatives of the Bulgarian Women‘s Union, who are actively working for the implementation of equality. The artist begins a discussion with Union Secretary Dr. Plocheva in the capital‘s press. There are supporters of opposing views, each of them is convinced that his position is the most correct for defending Bulgarian identity in a difficult and unstable political environment.
