This study is an extensive bibliography of government-published maps relating to China that have been produced by the United States, Japan, China, Great Britain, Germany, France, and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Several introductory, narrative chapters discuss the development of modern mapping in China and various mapping activities of the six other countries. The major portion of the document is an annotated listing of map selections from the 20th century. Arrangement is by country. Within each country's section, the map entries are listed alphabetically by agencies and then according to scale. Each map listing includes such information as reliefs, boundaries, hydrography, transportation, cities and towns, and vegetation. Size, number of pages, translation, and general coverage are also included in the general annotations where appropriate. Several appendices conclude the document. (Author/JR)

This bibliographic essay of books, articles, and audiovisual aids on China is designed to help teachers and community educators identify new materials for use in planning classroom units and community education programs, and to present some emerging themes in America's new relationship with China around which discussions could be organized. The listings are arranged into six parts: (1) accounts by recent visitors to China, (2) general books about China and U.S.-China relations, (3) major areas of professional interest in China, (4) important issues in Sino-American relations, (5) Chinese periodicals and Chinese perspectives, and (6) resources for teachers. Most of the materials included in this annotated bibliography date from 1971-74. Each bibliographic selection includes the complete title, publisher, number of pages, price, and a short annotation. The unit on resources for teachers suggests resource and curriculum guides, periodicals and newspapers, starter kits, maps, and audiovisual materials appropriate for the secondary classroom. Exceptionally useful and highly recommended works are starred. (Author/JR)

This analysis of the important industry-centered spare time school system in Communist China is a substantially revised version of a paper originally prepared for oral presentation at the annual meeting of the Association for Asian Studies in March 1963. The author is specializing in the study of Communist China at Cornell University, where he is completing a doctoral program. In the absence of impartial firsthand observations by qualified outside observers of the arrangements for spare-time study under the present regime, the author has of necessity been forced to rely mainly upon a discriminating use of materials published in Communist China. While the reliability of these materials is not subject to independent verification, the body of data contained therein is generally believed to be sufficiently indicative of the prevailing situation on the Chinese mainland to enable qualified researchers to derive from it an informative basic picture of major developments.

As yet citizens in the United States have had very little specific and authoritative information from the enemy-occupied countries of Europe and the Far East about what has happened and is happening to the intellectual life of their people. Recognizing these limitations in the information and desirous that the citizens of the United States, particularly the youth in schools and colleges, should be made as fully aware as possible of the situation, the members of the American Education Delegation meeting in London in the spring of 1944, arranged to secure authentic information on the important matters indicated. The delegation referred to was appointed by the Secretary of State of the United States for the purpose of participating with ministers of education, or their representatives, of 17 nations in a conference to be held in London, where, as is well known, most of the occupied countries have set up governments in exile. This bulletin is devoted to accounts of what the war and enemy occupation following it have meant to education in 6 of the 11 countries to which requests were addressed. They are presented as nearly as possible in the form in which they were prepared by the respective ministers of education or their representatives. They are, therefore, authentic and official and represent conditions as they were when written, during the early summer of 1944. The U.S. Office of Education presents them to the schools, school officials, and school children and youth of the United States, knowing well their sympathetic interest in their less fortunate fellows who have suffered and are suffering not alone the tragic casualties of war but the still less tolerable, brutal and unnecessary destruction which followed in its wake. In secondary schools and colleges these papers will be read as presented for the story they tell, for the style and tone of the authors, for renewed appreciation of the valiant manner in which youth of character meets disaster; but the facts disclosed will lead to further study of the countries involved, of their people, their history, and development socially, economically, and educationally.

This publication is designed for teachers of Chinese language and culture who are interested in using audiovisual materials to supplement classroom instruction. The listings objectively present materials which are available; the compilers have not attempted to evaluate them. Content includes historical studies, techniques of brush painting, myths, art forms, personal studies, and educational and economic documentaries. Grade level ranges from elementary to college level and adult. The four major sections include listings of audiovisual materials, addresses of producers and distributors, subject index, and general index. Within the audiovisual materials section, items have been classified by categories to enable teachers to choose the kind of media they prefer. There are over 300 films, 61 feature-length films, nine videotapes, 122 filmstrips, 53 slide collections, 9 overhead transparency collections, 7 photographic series, 132 audiotapes, and 98 records. Annotations for each entry provide information about the producer, rental or purchase price, component parts, length, and a description of content. Materials are coded according to type in the subject and general indexes. (AV)
