- V. > * •> *1 < J- * »1 McCLORY REPORTS the people of the United States want to provide some valtfeble foreign aid, please tell them to send home some of our scidiiitists and professionally trained citizens." It was thus thatr the Iranian parliamentary delegate sooke at a recent meeting'at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris. TJie purpose of the parliamentary conference was to discus! tiie importance of science to Vie developing countries. Parliamentary representatives froip Iran, Bulgaria, Great Brfc tairi, Norway, FVance, Czechoslovakia, Tunisia, and other countries agreed that economic, cultural and social advances go hand-in-hand with scientific progress. The United States government has helped train 'C&uitless thousandsofthemost talented individuals from all over the world. But comparatively few of these individuals have returnee? to their native lands to share the benefits of their U.S. acquired education and experience; Senator Sadigh of the Iranian Parliament, whose words are quoted in the first paragraph, charged that more than 20,000 Iranian scientists and professional people have emigrated from Iran in the past several years. He declared: "Uteris are 400 Iranian doctors in New York alone." Any current discussions of U.S. programs to educate foreign nationals in scientific and technical subjects (Including the recent exchanges at UNESCO) turn almost at one to a review of the "brain drain". This rather ominous expression reveals simple that many of the most brilliant students in the lesser developed countries are given educational opportunities in our country (frequently, at federal expense) and are lost forever to the countries from which they emigrated. Even the highly touted filternational Education Act passed at the last session of Congress-- part of a program which the president promised would help relieve ignorance in the worldis almost certain to entice additional scholars and teachers away from the very countries that need to develop more brains within their own boundaries. Our American efforts with people from lesser developed areas are not complete failures. * Many Peace Corps volunteers, some teachers and scientists who take assignments abroad (even some American universities with overseas branches), are furnishing much needed stimuli in areas where science and technology are desperately lacking. These efforts are recognized by those who have benefited. But their influence on legislation in Washington is relatively insignificant Unfortunately, some representatives of our great institutions of higher learning--including the professional schools --appear to be quite unimaginative in relation to the "brain drain." As our nation appears to be capable of absorbing the entire available supply -- so far -- of scientific and technological experts, there is an understandable lack of concern for the shortage of such talents in most of the other countries. The goal of providing a world of mutual help and understanding is quite remote if one nation remains in the stone age while another advances to the space age. High school graduates, including Peace Corps volunteers and the Iranian "Army of Knowledge,'* are bringing educational, opportunities to many areas where none have existed. These examples point in the direction that scientific and technological foreign aid must go. With our experience and knowhow, we can encourage and stimulate programs of selfhelp. We can train teachers and ANGELO'S SUNSET INN H3* £• o n* • • Specializing in BUSINESSMEN'S LUNCH 12 noon t© 2 p.m. FINE rmrn--coumous SERVICE 1 Mile North of Wauconda on Old R©mt© 12 Phono M 6-2929 DATE OF PUBLIC - HEALTH SERVICES? At 7:45 on Thursday, Feb. 23, a symposium will be held on the topic of "Coordination of Public Health Services" at West Elementary school in Crystal Lake. The school is located on Briarwood road, a north-south road off Route 176 west of Crystal Lake in Grafton township. The Government Improvement League of McHenry county is the sponsor. Representatives of most current and potential public health services will participate in a panel discussion of the present situation and potential improvements. The magnitude of the problem to be under discussion is illustrated by the expenditures of the involved agencies. Next year an estimated $300,000 will be spent on public health in McHenry county, according to the County Treasurer's office. Fred Rozem, director of Special Education, will speak for the county's Special Education district. Its budget expected to reach $100,000 next year. Mrs. Claribel Nay lor. registered nurse and administrator of the county Tuberculous association, will'represent her organization in the discussion. This year the T.B. tax district has a budget of $87,000. The two potential public leaders in the regions where the scientific and technological gap now yawns. This would eliminate ftiture requests such as the one of the Senator from Iran who demanded that the United States send back the Iranian scientists. Under such a program, many of them would remain at home for training. Thus^ the best brains of the lesser developed countries could be kept where they are so urgently needed and where--indeed--they belong. WFVElLi i PUCES HUM WASMRM'S MAY SEU-A-BMTI0H!
