“…This was a surprising result in light of the common belief that teachers often have an exaggerated notion of the constraints on religion in the classroom. 39 Question # 2: "Do you think it is legally acceptable for students to express their religious beliefs in the classroom? "…”

“…Cutaneous DTH responses to recall antigens were analysed using a commercially available multipuncture device (Muhitest@, Institut Merieux, Lyon, France), which has been extensively tested by numerous investigators (18)(19)(20)(21)(22). It utilizes a mechanical applicator which simultaneously applies seven standardized antigens (tetanus, diphtheria, streptococcus antigen, old turberculin, candida, trichophyton and proteus mirabilis) and a glycerin control to the skin of the volar arm, forearm or thigh.…”

Despite antibiotic cover for cardiac surgery the development of postoperative infection remains a feared complication. The present prospective study was designed to evaluate whether it is possible to identify preoperatively those individuals in whom the risk of a postoperative infection is significantly greater. Skin test response, chemotaxis and random migration of neutrophils, and serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) were chosen as indicators of host resistance. Pre-operatively and at defined postoperative time intervals, 80 patients undergoing open-heart surgery with the aid of cardiopulmonary bypass were examined. Of all the immunological variables measured in this study, the state of anergy proved the most reliable predictor of postoperative infection. Six of the nine pre-operatively anergic patients developed infections (P = 0.00026) representing one half of the postoperatively infected patients. No predictive role of CRP level or neutrophil chemotaxis can be derived from our data. The pre-operatively decreased random migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) from postoperatively infected patients, however, along with the significant defects in chemotactic and random PMN motility seen after cardiac surgery may partly explain the predisposition to bacterial infection in these patients. In conclusion, a pre-operative skin test makes a valuable contribution to the assessment of the patient's postoperative infectious risk.

The Idea of Lifelong Learning in the Chautauqua Movement

The Chautauqua Assembly was distinguished not only for its contribution to adult education programs but also for its contribution to educational thought: learning should be lifelong. The Chautauqua founders regarded education for adults as both a right and duty. This belief derived from three sources: (1) a religious basis, (2) a theory of self-culture, and (3) the right of each per son to have access to knowledge. To this ideological bases was coupled a theory of adult educa tion, namely, adulthood is a unique time for learning. Among the elements of this theory of adult education were these: (1) adults can learn, (2) education should be extended beyond formal school years, (3) life is a school, (4) agencies should cooperate in promoting adult learning, and (5) education should bring adults into contact with current thought on scientific and social issues. This article concludes that Chautauqua, more than many of the other popular education move ments for adults between 1865 and 1914, addressed concerns that have proved relevant to the adult education movement for nearly an entire century.
