Edwards, Dr. Gerald Edward*and his mother, Mrs. C. Ruth

Edwards.

They Live in a Land of All the CenturiesGerald and Cecile Edwards

are on leave from the North

Carolina A&TState University.Dr. Edwards k serving as Con-

sultant in the Physical Sciencesin the Ohio State University-India Education Project spon-

sored by the Agency for Inter-

national Development.

Ancient and modern cul

tures blend beautifully in thecity of Mysore where Dr. Ed-wards is stationed. It is thehome of 12 colleges and uni-versities and Gerald is stationed

at one of these, the RegionalCollege of Education.

Mysore, a city 0f.400,000,boasts not only of art mu-seums, a bird sanctuary, movietheatres, a zoo, but also of 4royal oalaces, for it is the home

of th; Maharaja of Mysore.Located on a plateau at anelevation of 2400 feet above

sea lev il, it boasts of tempera-

ture ra-tging from 70 to 95°Fall yea round and beautiful

flowerirj trees, lovely parksand playgrounds.

In his work Gerald's broad

concern is to assist with pro-

grams for developing the

sciences in India. This has in-

cluded syllabus revision, writ-

ing instructional materials, con-ducting workshops for scienceteachers, promoting fuller stu-

dent involvement in learningby investigative science pro-

jects and science fairs. He is

one of 16 such Americans,

four in different fields, Agricul-ture, Technology, Commerce

and Science, in each of four

Regional Colleges located atAjmer, Bliubaneswar, Ehopaland Mysore.

Not only a focal point of

educational interest, Mysore

has many landmarks of Indianhistory. Naarby Is the palace of

Tipu Sultan, who ruled south-

eastern India in the 19th cen-tury. The Hindu temples at

lowers are received, and given

personal blessings. During the

ten nights of Dasara thousands

of lights turn the main palace,already magnificent in oriental

splendor, into a fairy-tale cas-tle. During International Tour-ist Year in 1967, it is estimatedthat over a million personscame to Mysore for this event,

unequalled in pomp and cere-mony in India.

Overlooking Mysore isChamundi Hill outlined bril-lianty with lights each nightand JJje site of a handsome2000 year old Hindu templeSiva's bull Nandi, a 16 footstatue carved out of a singlehuge boulder; the private sum-mer palace of the Maharaja;and a giant statue of monsterMahishasura who was killedby goddess Chamundi "tobring peace to the country."Only 12 miles awary are the

exquisitely designed BrindavenGardens at Krishnarajasagarwhich have been comparedwith those at Versailles. Thedam here at the confluence ofthree rivers is lIA miles longand one of the largest in India.

This year the grandeur,pomp and ceremony of Dasarawere followed by Khedda -

"Operation Wild Elephant"where the skill and daring offorest tribesmen shamed thestaunchest American cowboys

as wild elephants were roundedup for circuses, zoos and princ-es who can afford them.
