Character Training In Education, Margaret Mary Quinn

Bachelors’ Theses

There is no more significant trend in current education than the nationwide movement of character training. Interestingly enough, this trend has developed alongside of the scientific movement in education, though much more recently. The scientific trend that has characterized education during the present century, has sought to reduce it to a precise and controlled process through the utilization of the findings and techniques of the psychological and social sciences. Increasingly research and experimentation are yielding valid techniques for carrying on the various processes of education. But with the increasing number and refinements of techniques there has been of late a …

The Use Of Marionettes As A Project In The Elementary Schools, Elizabeth M. Grady

Bachelors’ Theses

A few years ago we associated the marionette entirely with the Italian showman. Now a veritable renaissance of interest in marionettes seems to be sweeping over every country, our own included. Many artists were quick to see the educational as well as enjoyment possibilities in this fascinating form of drama. The result has been that in almost every city and town some sort of work with marionettes is being done in the public, private and parochial schools from the primary grades to high school.

Visual Instruction As An Aid In Teaching Geography In Grammar Grades, Laura M. Meyer

Bachelors’ Theses

At the present time the endeavor of every progressive teacher is to plan school work so that pupils may master their tasks much as efficient people in the business world, master their work.

That the schools have a tendency to be too artificial is unquestionably true. There is a noticeable absence of real things. The large increase in enrollments in our schools, together with the decreased level of ability, the additional work, the demands of society upon the public schools, and the increased competition of present-day life have served to necessitate the use of more effective methods of teaching. The …

Diagnostic And Remedial Measures In Reading In The Intermediate Grades, Elsie Dickerhoff Thompson

Bachelors’ Theses

"The development of reading as a branch of study began with the Reformation. This widespread movement necessitated on the part of the common people a familiarity with the Bible, and as a result reading and writing were introduced into the elementary curriculum and training in them became general." The books used at this time contained only extracts from the Bible. They were religious in character. The German word for primer means "little Bible". This primer appeared in 1419. Schulte in 1532 published the A.B.C. books which he tried to make more interesting for children. Basedaw 1723-1790 aided by advocating the …

Junior High School Reading, Grace E. Burdick

The Essential Objectives in Reading in the primary grades the mechanics of reading demand the attention and are quite thoroughly mastered. The inter­mediate grades stress rate and comprehension and bring them to a high degree of efficiency. By the time a child leaves the sixth grade his reading habits are quite well established. The later grades must continue the work done in the middle grades, extend it and broaden it.

The Value Of Music In The Elementary Grades, Anna M. Fox

Bachelors’ Theses

Why do same people smile and look blank at the mention of the study of art? Why do they look at art teachers as though they were in a class by themselves, as though they must be a queer lot? There 'is nothing unusual, nothing aristocratic about art, because art is life itself. If it is not a live thing it has failed to be art. Think of' the works of art in music, painting, and sculpture that have lived on down through the ages, and will continue to live on and on. A great man once said, "That all …

The State High School Course In General Science, C. W. Lantz

Science Bulletin

The course of study in general science for high schools issued by the State Department of Public Instruction has recently come from the press. The course is divided into fifteen units. Of these, eight are devoted primarily to physical and chemical facts; five are of a biological nature; and two deal with facts of astronomy and meteorology. The authors, however, have succeeded well in constructing a course in general science and have not merely put together unrelated parts of physics, chemistry, biology, and astronomy.

Cell Secrets, R. W. Getchell

Science Bulletin

This is a true picture of one class of cell products, the enzymes; and it represents with considerable accuracy two other products of the cell, the vitamines and the hormones. These three wonderful agencies challenge our interest and provoke a tremendous amount of research at present because they are so far-reaching in their effects and because they hugely baffle any attempt to isolate or identify them.

Do you think it makes any difference if you plant y our garden seeds in the light of the moon or lay shingles in the dark of the moon!

Speaking generally, we use an electric current for lighting, for heating, for chemical work, for mechanical work, and for therapeutic or physiological treatments of various human ailments.
