It was only a few years ago that scientists and engineers in general began to awaken to the seriousness of a problem that had long been the exclusive and unrelieved burden of high‐school teachers and administrators. The problem is to provide improved secondary‐school instruction in contemporary science and mathematics to increasing numbers of students. This must be accomplished in spite of many difficulties, principal among which are the severe restrictions in hiring and keeping competent teachers. In the face of this serious secondary‐school situation, there has been a striking development that offers a basis for real hope.
