Abstract
The featured articles report on a suggested rearrangement of the science sequence in U.S. high schools called "Physics First". In this plan, conceptual physics is taken in the ninth grade followed by chemistry and biology. Several physicists comment on the plan, suggested by Leon Lederman in 1998. A forgotten 1940 paper in this Journal is credited as the real origin of "Physics First".
