Positive and Negative Factors in Team Teaching

ALTHOUGH team teaching appears to have received its initial impetus in the English and social studies curriculum areas, it has much to offer in mathematics education, also. While team teaching varies from school to school, as it does from department to department in the same school, the entire program is dependent upon the faculty, curriculum, and physical facilities as well as upon administrative approval and cooperation.

Developments in Public Administration

On January 5, 1971, the United States Congress enacted Public Law 91-648, known as the Intergovernmental Personnel Act. This legislation was designed to reinforce the federal system by strengthening the personnel resources of state and local governments, to improve intergovernmental cooperation in the administration of grant-in-aid programs, to provide grants for improvement of state and local personnel administration, to authorize federal assistance in training state and local employees, to provide grants to state and local governments for training of their employees, to authorize interstate compacts for personnel and training activities, to facilitate the temporary assignment of personnel between the federal government and state and local governments, and for other purposes. When the purposes of these federal grants were made known by the U.S. Civil Service Commission, New Jersey wanted to take advantage of the benefits available under IPA to improve personnel programs in the state. The big question was, what was the best way to spend the kind of money New Jersey could expect to receive so that it would be of the greatest benefit to all levels of government while at the same time achieving, to the maximum extent possible, the objectives of the Act? In 1971, Commissioner James A. Alloway, president of the New Jersey Civil Service Commission, was designated by former Governor William T. Cahill as the primary authority for carrying out all of the provisions of the Intergovernmental Personnel Act in New Jersey. Commissioner Alloway named a New Jersey IPA Committee made up of top executives from state, county, and municipal governments to evaluate applications for grants under the Intergovernmental Personnel Act and to establish appropriate priorities in determining which programs would provide the greatest benefit to governments in the State of New Jersey. One of the projects approved by the committee was the development of A Model Personnel System for New Jersey County and Municipal Governments. A staff of highly trained specialists was assembled and charged with the responsibility of developing a personnel system that would have broad applicability to all New Jersey counties and municipal governments embodying merit system principles and being consistent with the intent of he Intergovernmental Personnel Act as well as all appropriate statutes, rules, and regulations inherent in the State of New Jersey laws. The model was to be designed to meet the needs of both Civil Service and non-Civil Service jurisdictions and all autonomous bodies within the State of New Jersey. Three New Jersey jurisdictions were selected to participate in the development of the model by serving as a vehicle for studying personnel administration at the local level. Numerous factors had to be considered, such as willingness to participate, commuting distance, size, and many other conditions. The final selection resulted in the choice of one county, one large city covered by Civil Service law, and one township not covered by Civil Service. It was determined that this combination would provide the vehicle to develop a model suitable for adoption by jurisdictions of any size regardless of their participation in the New Jersey Civil Service system. Before starting on the development of the model, the team divided personnel administration into its nine major component parts, namely: · General administration · Employment · Management-employee relations · Records

Agricultural Economics and Technical Aid in Foreign Development

IN 1950, the Point Four program was implemented by the establishment of the Technical Cooperation Administration and the appointment of Henry G. Bennett, President of Oklahoma State University, as Administrator. These actions represented the beginning of a worldwide program of technical assistance in the economic development of the lessdeveloped countries. After a decade and a half, it seems appropriate to assess the role that technical aid, particularly in agricultural economics, has had in the development process. A substantial investment has been made in these programs and much useful experience has been gained. Many agricultural economists have been involved. Even more important are several recent developments which make an appraisal of our technical-aid efforts timely. These include the growing concern with the world food problem, the substantial increase in food imports of the less-developed countries, and the increased involvement during the past few years of the land-grant universities and the U.S. Department of Agriculture in foreign agriculturaldevelopment programs. Agricultural economists share in the responsibility for carrying out the moral commitment of the United States to the people of less-developed countries. In addition, agricultural economists are becoming interested in international affairs for two important pragmatic reasons. The first is the importance of building world prosperity and stability. The second is the importance of the agricultural export market. These interests in foreign affairs were outlined by President Truman. He said in announcing the Point Four Program, All countries, including our own, will greatly benefit from a constructive program for better use of human and natural resources. Experience shows that our commerce with other countries expands as they progress industrially and economically. Greater production is the key to prosperity and peace.' U.S. technical aid in agriculture is particularly important to economic development in the less-developed countries. Agriculture is the major oc-

A Note on Government Sponsored African Programs at Boston University

The Boston University African Studies Program inaugurated a program for the United States Government in June 1959 when an orientation and training course for International Cooperation Administration (the predecessor of the Agency for International Development) career personnel to be assigned to African posts was undertaken. A special staff was appointed to administer the program under the direction of the Director of the African Studies Program. In 1961 the Development Research Center was formally established within the African Studies Program with responsibility for administering contract activities. John D. Montgomery, who was in charge of contract activities from 1960 to 1963, was succeeded as Director of the Development Research Center by John L. Fletcher, Jr., Professor of Government at Boston University. Other members of the Center's staff have included Edouard Bustin, Associate Research Professor of Government; Wilbert J. LeMelle, Assistant Research Professor of Government; John W. Sommer, Research Assistant; and Claudia W. Moyne, Research Associate. Regular staff members of the African Studies Program also participate in the work of the Development Research Center by delivering lectures and giving informal instruction. During the period of the first contract, 140 career employees studied at Boston University. The program for the first group of employees included seven months of study, part of which was at Boston University and part in Europe and Africa. For the second group of employees, trained in 1960, a shorter period of study included work in Boston as well as a European phase at Oxford, London, Brussels, and Paris. For the third group there was a seven-week's program conducted entirely in Boston. Subsequent groups received four weeks of instruction in Boston. In addition to the lectures and published written materials, the course also included the study and discussion of special case studies in technical assistance and group exercises in the design and analysis of foreign aid programs for selected countries.

Local Finance and Community Development

Abstract This paper analyzes certain implications of the system of local finance for local and regional planning and spatial development in the United States and Western Germany. To strengthen the local tax base, local governments often follow development policies that are contrary to the aims and ends of regional planning and incompatible with over-all regional and national interests. Financially motivated self-interest also prejudices co-operation in local planning and local administration. In both countries there are significant differentials in local tax capacity that are unrelated to fiscal needs and are only partially equalized through intergovernmental grants. Planning could be made more effective by a revision of the present system of local finance.

Utilization of Water and Irrigation in Israel

Tremendous importance of supply and quality of irrigation water for future and economic welfare of agriculture in Israel is stressed; total water resources have been estimated as 2000 MM cu m (mcm), of which 1500 mcm will be allocated to irrigation; results of study made in 1959 for U S Int Cooperation Administration on water utilization and irrigation research in Israel are summarized.

Notes and Comment

This article discusses the September 1960 Seminar on Water Rates, sponsored by the Pan American Sanitary Bureau, the Regional Office of the World Health Organization, the government of Uruguay, and the International Cooperation Administration. The seminar was one of a series of activities being sponsored by the Pan American Health Organization for the stimulation and promotion of water supplies throughout the Central and South American countries. One of the major problems confronting most of the governments is the financial difficulty of constructing new systems and expanding existing ones. Much of the solution to this problem rests in better management and administration of existing water systems. The recommendations of the engineers at the seminar recognized the importance of sound planning, administration, and development of good water rate structures as a basic starting point for the eventual development of funds that can be channeled into water supply construction.

A Study of United Missions and Interboard Committees

The Reverend Loren E. Noren is a missionary of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Societies, stationed in Kong Kong. He was educated at Ottawa University in Kansas and at Andover-Newton Theological School in Massachusetts. He served in Swatow, China, from 1946 to 1952 and has been Secretary. Treasurer of the American Baptist Mission in Hong Kong since 1954. When the Missionary Research Library was asked to undertake research for appraisal of various cooperative efforts in foreign missions, an Advisory Committee for the Study of United Missions ana Interboard Agencies was set up, with Dr. Barnerd M. Luben, then Executive Secretary of the Board for the Christian World Mission of the Reformed Church in America, as chairman. Mr, Noren, on furlough, was asked to conduct this research, under the supervision of the Advisory Committee, the Missionary Research Library, and the faculty of Union Theological Seminary. The study was accepted in partial fulfillment of requirements for the S.T.M. degree at Union Seminary. It has been published by the Missionary Research Library under the some title as that of this Occasional Bulletin. It is available at a price of $1,50, postage included. The terms used, new to the modern missionary endeavor and unique to the American undertakings in mission, reflect a similar approach to a united effort but with differences arising out of historical situations. The “United Mission” represents an instrument by which several denominational mission boards Join in initiating and carrying on missionary work in newer territory with a view to providing from the outset a united evangelical witness. The “Interboard Committee” represents a technique by which several denominational mission agencies undertake cooperative administration of work in situations where indigenous churches, once related to the mission-supporting denominations, are already united into a single church. Few even among those acquainted with missions are aware of the thrilling and pioneering character of these approaches to the fulfillment of the missionary obligation. Therefore we are happy to present a summary of Mr. Noren's study.

The Community's Role in Cross-Cultural Education

Every year thousands of strangers from abroad, representing rich and diverse backgrounds of nationality, pro fession, and personality, arrive in American communities. These communities, for the most part, have organized or are organizing themselves to meet effectively the needs of these men and women. In co-operation with campus advisers to foreign students, programs are being developed to open wide doors to family, civic, and cultural life into which students from abroad may enter if they choose. Working closely in co-operation with national agencies under contract to the State Department, with the International Cooperation Administra tion, and other governmental and nongovernmental groups, communities are also providing a variety of services for short- term visitors. Communities are stressing host-family programs through which strong interpersonal relationships can be de veloped. Both family and guest learn from one another as they participate in the dialogue between people of diverse backgrounds. Both professionals and volunteers involved in community programming recognize that goodwill is not enough. Through conferences, seminars, and publications, they have developed an expertise in technique. At the same time, they are continually searching for deeper insights into cross-cul tural contact through reading and consultation with social scientists and anthropologists.

A Beginning in Ethiopia

The college was established to train the public health workers vitally needed in Ethiopia today. Its student group consists of prospective health officers, who receive three years of academic work, community nurses who have two years, and sanitarians who study for one year. The first class for each group was graduated in August 1957. These young people were the country's first hometrained public health personnel. The idea for the school grew out of discussions between representatives of the Imperial Ethiopian Government and the International Cooperation Administration. This group recognized that Ethiopia's health problems would need attention before her social and economic development could get under way. They recognized, too, that many diseases could be eradicated by preventive measures alone.

Water Supply Administration in Peru

This article begins by discussing how major water supplies or systems in Peru have been financed and built in the past by direct grants from the national government. However, national financial support of this nature is not able to keep up with rapid growth in demand, and few water systems in Peru are self‐supporting in operating costs alone. The author describes his experience where, during the summer of 1960, he spent 5 weeks in Peru as a short‐term consultant to the International Cooperation Administration (ICA), activities of which are known as the Point Four program. The consultation was a part of the Community Water Supply Development Program of ICA. Under this program, and in collaboration with the World Health Organization and the Pan American Health Organization, ICA is assisting cooperating countries to develop or strengthen business‐type, self‐sustaining national institutions that will plan and aid financing, construction, and management of water supply systems at the community level.

Cross-Cultural Training in Public Administration

SINCE 1955, Michigan State University has had an advisory group in Vietnam under a tri-partite contract with the International Cooperation Administration and the Republic of South Vietnam.'L The terms of the contract specifically define the group's responsibility for projects in public and police administration. The public administration projects focus on developing an institution for the teaching and training of Vietnamese public administrators. Corollary activities on the public administration side of the project have included a program to study and assist in budgetary, tax, and civil service reform. The police projects have centered on the development of a national police academy and advisory activities with the Vietnamese Municipal Police Force of Saigon. In the first two contracts under which the university operated, funds were specifically allocated for sending Vietnamese nationals to the United States for training in connection with the projects being conducted by the group. During the four years covered by the first two contracts, $350,000 was budgeted for this activity, in addition to local currency for transportation and English language training.2

The Development Corporation in Africa

Economic is second only to political independence as a dominant theme on the continent of Africa. The newly independent countries in Africa are undeveloped economically, depend primarily upon one or a few raw materials which they produce and sell in the world market, and have too few citizens with appropriate managerial skills and entrepreneurial instincts. Aware of these facts, the governments of the new African nations want to encourage growth and diversification of their economies with increasing emphasis on industrialization-a process which will require help from abroad. The philosophical attitudes of impatient African nationalist leaders demand direct action, and their new governments can be expected to take an aggressive role in the of their economies. One technique used to help galvanize the national economy is the development corporation. This national institution has much the same purpose as the proliferation of financial and institutions designed to foster economic on a broader geographical scale-international institutions such as the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World Bank), International Finance Corporation, International Development Association, and Interamerican Development Bank, and national institutions with international scope such as the United States' Agency for International Development (formerly the International Co-operation Administration) and Development Loan Fund, now part of AID.' A representative African corporation is basically a financial institution and usually sponsored by the government, though some or all of its capital may come from private sources. Its object is to stimulate of the economy by promoting industrial, agricultural, and commercial enterprises. It has extensive powers to loan money, guarantee loans, make equity investments, supply nonfinancial assistance, and undertake other non-profit activities germane to economic development. In addition to supplying funds to others,
