President Johnson's recent initiatives in internat'l educ signal the further eniergence of educ as a characteristic form of US involvement in world affairs. Educ is the key to econ progress in the developing countries. It is also the only solid basis for freedom, soc justice, & equal opportunity. Almost by definition the `gospel of development' - the so-called revolution of rising expectations - will be accompanied by conflict & dissension. But there will be little hope of resolving the conflicts & of achieving peace in our cent unless the world makes heroic efforts in educ - sustained, imaginative, & ever greater efforts. The viewpoint must be long range. Educ holds no quick promise of peace or even of understanding. Further, the problems of bridging the world's vast educ'al gap are too complex to yield to an immediate or massive educ'al crusade. For example, nowhere are there enough teachers. The potentialities of the new techniques of educ -of radio, TV, programmed instruction, & film - must be drawn upon more & more if educ' al efforts in developing countries are to begin to meet the needs.

It has been long held that Mughal India had a long tradition of education and learning. The Mughal period witnessed the emergence of great scholars in different fields; some prominent names are Fathullah Shirazi, Sheikh Mubarak, his two sons Faizi and Abul Fazl, and Abdul Qadir Badauni. These scholars left their intellectual imprint on Mughal history. Even the Mughal Emperors took a keen interest in the education and training of the princes. Along with educating the royal family members, the Mughal Emperors also worked to educate the ordinary people. Akbar had taken great interest in designing the syllabus for madarsa education himself. In contrast, Aurangzeb gave the merchants the responsibility of education for the smooth functioning of the madarsa and inspected its progress from time to time. Many works have been produced about madarsa education in Mughal India, but the education and training in the technical field have yet to be discussed. The present research study investigates education and training in warfare, especially archery, as the education of archery was considered very important in the Islamic world. The Mughals, too, turned their attention to educating the princes and common people on the art of archery.

The information seeking sources of education policy makers was examined in an effort to reveal informed approaches toward minimizing the gap in communication and understanding between education policy makers and educators. Quantitative data were collected from state legislators (n=194) throughout the United States, including background information and information seeking frequencies from ten different sources. Analyses of the nonparametric data using the Kruskal-Wallis, Bonferroni, Mann-Whitney, and Wilcoxon methods showed statistically significant differences in the information seeking sources of education policy makers based on independent groups including: education committee membership and leadership on that committee, gender, party affiliation and experience level. Additionally, statistically significant differences were revealed in the information seeking sources of education policy makers during the legislative session compared to outside the legislative session. The data analyses demonstrated that education policy makers reported seeking information most frequently from constituents and colleagues. Recommendations for education policy stakeholders and further research are included in the discussion. Conclusions express the need for education policy makers to seek more information from teachers and school administrators, building relationships of trust during interim sessions in order to have more efficient dialogue and exchange of information during the busier time of the legislative session.
