The article presents information on the Symposium Neuroontogeneticum which was sponsored by the Department of Physiology of the Charles University Medical School in Prague, Czechoslovakia. The symposium was devoted to cross-disciplinary exchange of information on basic mechanisms underlying growth and development. Its 1973 session, attended by some 40 invited participants from all over the world, covered a wide range of topics pertinent to developmental problems in sensory functioning and learning. Although many of the papers dealt with animal studies, scientists attending the meeting managed to share their thinking in such diverse areas as embryology, biochemistry, neurophysiology, and infant behavior. It was clear from informal discussion at the symposium that learning disabilities constitute a worldwide problem of sizeable dimensions. Definitive and fool-proof diagnostic tools seem to be nonexistent. Management techniques are rarely standardized and vary even within countries; those now in use tend to be viewed as partially successful with a few children and wholly successful with none.

The article discusses International Sociology. International gatherings have repeatedly played an important role in the social sciences. In London, England, in 1864, sociologist Karl Marx created the International Workingman's Association. The St. Louis, Missouri World's Fair in 1904 brought the world's leading sociologists together and one can easily trace the profound influence this American experience had on Sociologist Max Weber's subsequent writings. Today's vastly improved communications all year round make periodic face-to-face gatherings less momentous events. Still, they are important occasions and their impact can probably be increased further if one reflects on what functions they do or could perform. Recent observations suggest that a systematic study of such international events could be of real service to the profession of a sociologist. The origins of formal international organizations of sociologists can probably be traced back to the International Institute of Sociology which was created in 1893 with headquarters in Paris, France. It held yearly congresses until 1910, then changed to a triennial schedule. The congresses were interrupted by the first World War (1914-1918) and not resumed until 1927. The 1939 Congress was cancelled because of the second World War (1939-1945).
