A report is presented of a study made primarily in the Southern States to determine what the certification requirements for teachers of high school physics are and what some college physics teachers think they should be; to determine what special undergraduate and graduate programs of study for those preparing to teach or already teaching high school physics are provided by colleges; and also to discover to what extent college physics departments are cooperating with high school physics departments, by loaning equipment, giving assistance to science clubs, presenting demonstration lectures at high school assembly programs, and discussing opportunities for a career in physics with high school seniors.
