...Russia's educational system is backed by rare imagination and ingenuity. On view at the joint annual meeting of the American Physical Society and the American Association of Physics Teachers in Manhattan were 24 new gadgets to aid science teaching -a projector, voltage regulator, a machine for demonstrating wave motion, an optical splitter, an armillary sphere -all ingeniously designed for mass production and priced for sale in the U.S. at levels far below competing American models...
...have seen the aids call them excellent. Says Harvard's famed Physicist Gerald Holton: "Insofar as this material is new, it is striking, but it also represents another thing: that the Russians have expended precious technical thought on scientific educational equipment." The U.S. makes nothing like the classroom wave-motion machine, and an American-made projector that costs Harvard $300 serves the purpose no better than a Russian model that costs $24.50 (plus 40% duty) delivered in New York. Adds Dr. Albert Navez, whose high school program in Newton, Mass, last year turned out both winners of the Westinghouse...
