After a pilot run in eight secondary schools in 1957–58, the PSSC high‐school physics course was taught in about 300 schools in 1958–59, and is operating in about 600 schools throughout the nation this academic year. One day of the recent annual New York meeting of the American Physical Society and the American Association of Physics Teachers was devoted to a symposium describing the nature and basic philosophy of the course and developing some of the reactions of secondary‐school and college teachers.
