A graduate student in educa
tion believes pupils exact exten
sive preparation of their teachers.
‘■This is true in India as well
as the U. S.,” cites George W.
Mayer of New Delhi, a high
school-level math and physics
teacher in A&M’s 1968-69 Aca
demic Year Institute.
“The student makes demands
on his teacher and requires that
he be prepared to answer a va
riety of questions on numerous
topics,” the 40-year-old teacher
explained.
The Rt. Rev. Josiah Mtekateka,
suffragan bishop of Malawi in
Central Africa, will visit St.
Thomas Episcopal Chapel here
Thursday.
Bishop Mtekateka is on a
month-long speaking tour in the
Episcopal Diocese of Texas which
has maintained a companion dio
cese relationship with Malawi
since 1963.
Bishop Mtekateka is making
his first trip to the United States
and to Texas following a stay
in London where he was one of
more than 400 bishops from all

He has observed American edu
cational procedures previously
and is uniquely equipping himself
to return to teaching duties at
Frank Anthony College in New
Delhi. An English medium high
school, Frank Anthony is an
Eton-type institution founded by
its namesake.
“Mr. Anthony is chairman of
the school’s board of governors,”
Mayer said.
Mayer is the third internation
al participant in A&M’s AYI pro
gram, which runs concurrent with
over the Anglican Communion
attending the Lambeth Confer
ence. Before arriving in Texas,
Bishop Mtekateka stopped in
Washington to visit his son-in-
law who is the Second Secretary
of the Malawi Embassy there.
Bishop Mtekateka will be ac
companied on most of his tour
of Texas by the Rev. George Car
lisle, Rector of St. Timothy’s
Episcopal Church, Lake Jackson,
and chairman of the Overseas
Mission Division of the Diocese.
Mr. Carlisle made a similar trip
to Malawi in 1966 where he was
the guest of the Rt. Rev. Donald
Arden, Bishop of Malawi and Bis
hop Mtekateka for six weeks.
While in Texas, Bishop Mteka
teka is expected to speak to a
number of church groups includ
ing women’s groups, several or
ganizations of clergy including
the Houston Clericus and will see
a Texas A&M football game with
a stopover at Texas A&M Uni

the regular school year. Italian
science teacher Stefano Accomaz-
zi studied here in 1966-67 and last
year Norwegian school principal
Knut Jacobsen did advanced de
gree work.
Mayer was born in Calcutta,
received his bachelor of science
degree at St. Xavier’s University
in 1948 and completed two years
work for the equivalent of a
teaching certificate at Loreto
House in 1959.
The English and Hindustani
speaking visitor Was in the U. S.
in 1962. He taught during the
regular school year at Poultney,
Vt., High and studied in a sum
mer physics and chemistry insti
tute at Arizona State.
Mayer transferred five hours
credit from ASU and hopes to
get an additional 32 at A&M this
year for a master’s degree in
science education.
His spare time interests center
on education, though Mayer likes
some occasional soccer, field
hockey and badminton.
“Reading would have to be my
only hobby,” he says. Mayer con
centrates on subjects outside his
field, especially opinions on mod
ern society.
“I spend a great deal of time
trying to develop ways of getting
concepts across to students. I
read a book with this in mind,”
he said.
The father of a two-year-old
girl was selected for AYI through
a group test conducted by the
U. Educational Foundation in
Indih. Mayer was one of five
teachers selected from through
out the nation one-third the size
of the U. S. His wife Alicia
teaches at the junior level.
He room^ with Dipankar Sen,
doctoral student in biology from
India.
Mayer, a Rom&n Catholic,
noted that when an Indian adopts
an English religion, he takes an
English name.
