Abstract

There was a time when the choices of what to teach or not teach were simple and the decision could be quickly and easily made. The question now is how must it change or in which direction must it move? (FF)

9. Food Habits of the Mountain Whitefish, Prosopium williamsoni (Girard)

Author

Pontius, Richard W. and Parker, Michael

Abstract

Quantitative and qualitative analyses of organisms eaten by mountain whitefish in the Snake River were undertaken. Abundance of an organism in a whitefish stomach appears to be dependent upon the organism's overall availability. The stomach contents of all size classes differed in taxonomic composition. Overlap in the taxonomic categories of food organisms eaten by fish of size classes II and III was about 50%. Larger fish were more generalized feeders and could utilize a greater size range of prey organisms than could smaller fish. This was reflected in the increase of food length diversity (FLD) and food taxa diversity (FTD) with increasing fish size. FTD was correlated most closely with the taxonomic richness of stomach contents rather than relative abundance of items in each taxonomic category. Hence, merely counting the taxa in stomachs gave some measure of FTD. This suggests that choices concerning the type of food eaten (species richness component of diversity) are most important in affecting FTD. Comparison of stomach contents with drift and bottom samples showed that fish could not have fed randomly solely from the drift or solely from the bottom. Morphology of the whitefish and the occurrence of sand and gravel in stomachs are an indication of bottom feeding.

10. Primary Production and Limiting Nutrients in a Small, Subalpine Wyoming Lake

Author

Wagner, John F. and Parker, Michael

Abstract

Primary production and limiting nutrients were studied by 14C techniques in a small, shallow, subalpine lake. There was no relationship between productivity at any depth and light intensity at that depth. Samples taken near the lake bottom always had higher productivity than samples taken near the surface, probably due to more optimal nutrient conditions. Nutrient enrichment experiments support this hypothesis, since sediment extract and ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid were always effective in enhancing productivity. The effects of other nutrients and nutrient combinations were less consistent, and tended to change through the summer. A large number of significant three, four and five factor interactions in midsummer indicated that the nutrient requirements of the algal community were most complex at this time. Although retention time increased through the summer from 10 to 71 hours, productivity tended to more closely parallel water temperature. Studies of currents showed that the western end of the lake had relatively little horizontal water movement compared to that of the eastern end, and that the latter portion had retention times even less than average. Significantly lower productivity in the faster flushing portion of the lake suggests that algal populations in this area were unable to accumulate before being flushed downstream. Because of the lake's low average retention time, it would not be practical to artificially increase the primary productivity of the studied, or similar lakes; the rapid flushing would not allow added nutrients or increased algal populations to accumulate in the lake.

23. Some Aspects of Oracy.

Author

National Association for the Teaching of English (England).

Abstract

In the lead article of this issue, the editor of the "NATE Bulletin," Andrew Wilkinson, defines "oracy" as "the ability to use the oral skills of speaking and listening," and maintains that instruction in these skills must be incorporated into the curriculum--not as a subject but as an important "condition of learning." Following are five articles by educators and seven abridgements of speeches given at the 1965 conference of the National Association for the Teaching of English which deal with English as spoken in various situations; linguistic concepts concerning the various levels of speech; the number and caliber of English teachers in Britain; teaching oracy in primary schools, secondary schools, and colleges; and a syllabus for a course in speech and drama. Authors of speeches and ar"icles are Reg Prentice, Muriel Crosby, Boris Ford, Charles Parker, Michael Halliday, Basil Bernstein, James Britton, Vincent Thompson, Yvonne Redman, John Dalton, Brian Stone, and A. A. Jones. (JS)

Federal Writers Project and Federal Writers Project

Abstract

During the Great Depression of the 1930s thousands of writers were hired by the Works Project Administration to create hundreds of guidebooks on all of the states in the U.S. These volumes that were produced became known as theAmerican Guide Series. This series has been described as the biggest, fastest and most original research job in the history of the world. No library collection in New York would be complete without a copy of New York: A Guide To The Empire State.
