During the past decade, an increased emphasis has been placed on individualizing the instruction of America's school children. Many educational agencies have published materials to be used in self-paced or individualized instructional programs. They include Individually Prescribed Instruction (IPI), Program for Learning in Accordance with Needs (PLAN), and Individually Guided Education (IGE) among others. Teachers in local schools throughout the country have a lso been involved in writing packets for selfpaced instruction. The aim of all these materials is to allow the student to proceed through the content presented at the pace best for him.

SummaryLiterature on the subject of the menopause, primarily from the past three decades, is selectively reviewed in the form of an annotated bibliography. In order to highlight particular methodological problems, the review is presented in three sections, each preceded by a brief discussion, as follows: (a) the general report of clinical observation or experience, (b) the survey, and (c) the clinical trial. Several recommendations are also made for further research in this field.

This article analyzes fifteen children’s picture books published over the past twenty-five years that include a character with Down syndrome (DS). From the perspective of both an educator and a parent of a child with DS, this article focuses on the changes in these picture books over time, the common threads connecting these books, an evaluation of these titles, and suggestions for use in the educational setting. In addition, an annotated bibliography is provided.

The knowledge of history is the study of incidents in the past. Therefore, the knowledge of history has many benefits, including: history can create a better future by taking lessons and experiences from the past. History can be studied if there are forms of heritage, such as a temples. The center of the temple in Indonesia is located in Central Java, the center of the Hindu-Buddhist temple. This region has the Borobudur Temple, which is best known by the people of Indonesia and foreign tourists, because Borobudur Temple is the largest Buddhist temple in the world. But many other temples are interesting to be known by the community, especially by elementary school children who start studying history in fifth grade elementary school. Learning history in schools requires a variety of learning methods, so that students are enthusiastic and do not get bored while learning in class. In overcoming the history of learning methods that are less diverse in fifth grade elementary school children in Bandung, pop-up books were chosen as a solution to this problem because, the use of pop-up book media is a new experience for many students at school. Data collection techniques carried out by interview and observation using mixed methods. The main media is a pop up book entitled "Myths and Legends of Temples in Indonesia - Hindu-Buddhist Temple Edition in Central Java". Accompanied by supporting media, namely: stickers, carrying bags, tumblers, fans, and clothes. The design was made to increase insight and introduction of Hindu-Buddhist temples in Central Java to fifth grade students in Bandung.

The brevity of this bibliography can be blamed, not on its compiler's unwillingness to search the photography and journalism publications or the book shelves of numerous libraries and supply shops, but upon the editor's explicit instructions and the scarcity of material. Professor Arpan's specific orders were: “The bibliography should contain references to photo-journalism only and should skip photography in general.” Precisely that was done, although “photo-journalism” was interpreted broadly. It meant that a few general books of special help should be included; it meant, also, a little attention to television and the news reel. Having prepared a bibliography in the field of general journalism, the compiler knew that little had been written on photo-journalism. He was not prepared, however, for the realization that most writing on the subject is either badly out-of-date or superficial. Articles in such journals as Camera, American Photographer, Editor and Publisher, and Popular Photography usually are topical and timely but therefore highly perishable. So many technological changes have occurred in the past few years that whole books have become mere curiosities. Popular taste has affected photo-journalism also, stimulated by the growth of the picture magazine. Photo-journalism, like newspaper circulation, radio news writing, and country journalism, is wide open for up-to-date and thorough treatment by textbook authors. At this writing there is no single book, dated later than 1939, which is intended as a basic text in a photo-journalism course or at least suitable for such use. The compiler wishes to thank James Fosdick, assistant professor of photography, Kent State University, and C. Wesley Brewster, instructor in graphic arts, Syracuse University, for their suggestions.

The objective of this study was to evaluate a school Trauma Awareness (TA) program conducted by the Health Education Center (HEC) of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania under contract with the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Institutes. A total of 44 presentations were made before 3545 persons dealing with school children in seven counties of western Pennsylvania. The TA program was undertaken because: l) the leading cause of death among school-age children in the USA during the 1970s was accidents, 60% of which occurred on school premises or going to and from school; and 2) there was a need for improvement of EMS in the local schools.

In the February 1971 issue of the Arithmetic Teacher, Henry Van Engen stated his belief that the formalism of the new mathematics programs is inappropriate for elementary school children. My experiences over the past few years lend strong support to Van Engen's statement, and in this article I examine one specific use of such formalism—the attempt to give meaning to the algorithms of arithmetic. After the attempt is analyzed, an alternative approach will be presented. Although my comments apply to all four basic operations, the discussion will be restricted to the addition algorithm.

I find very little evidence that the present challenge to improve mathematics instruction is being met; instead, evidence shows an emphasis on rote learning as in the past. What is new, of course, in the mathematics instruction of the 1980 is the computer.

Technological tools for mathematics instruction have evolved over the past fifty years. Some of these tools have opened the door to explorations of new mathematics. Features of others have made access to curricular mathematics more convenient. Thoughts on this evolution are shared.

As a mathematics educator at a midsized public university, I have taught hundreds of undergraduate elementary education majors how to teach mathematics to elementary school children. When I first started teaching mathematics methods, I struggled with how to give my students the opportunity to actually practice teaching mathematics to children. College campuses generally do not have accessible populations of elementary school children whom preservice teachers can practice on. And even if I could persuade a local school to host my students for some practice teaching during the school day, college class periods are too short to allow for field trips to local schools. Eventually I decided to have my students teach mathematics lessons to one another during my class time, but it was not the same as having them teach children.
