A correspondent reminds us that some teachers of science leave the impression in the class that our present knowledge of science was given to the world ready made or grew out of the presses that printed the text.

Laboratory Equipment And Experiments For Determinations Of Density, L. Begeman

Science Bulletin

Laboratory experiments in Density require the following apparatus: beam balances, meter sticks, graduates, calipers, tumblers, test tubes, and hydrometers. There should be as many of each as possible· in order to reduce the amount of group work. The objects for study should include pieces of lead, zinc, marble, paraffin, beeswax, glass stoppers, shot, gasoline and solutions of salts such as blue vitriol.

Something From Nothing, W. H. Kadesch

Science Bulletin

Matter made while you wait-hydrogen, helium, oxygen, iron or what will you have? No, it has not quite come to this! But the time-honored law of conservation which states that matter is neither destructible nor creatable is no longer accepted as unquestionably and universally true.

Fall And Winter Material In Animal Husbandry, H. Earl Rath

Science Bulletin

Swine are now going to market in large numbers. This offers an excellent opportunity to study market types as represented in the herd and compare them with the sows from which they were produced. If brood sows for spring litters have not all been selected, the teacher has some valuable work for pupils in selecting the better prospects from the available groups.

Some Suggestions For Winter Study Of Biology In High Schools, Roy L. Abbott

Science Bulletin

Considerable criticism has recently been directed against the commonly accepted methods of teaching Biology in our secondary school and colleges. John Burroughs once re- marked that he had never dissected an animal and was glad of it, implying by this, I take it, that we do not learn Nature by dissecting her children. Recently Wheeler of Harvard, has voiced a similar criticism by saying that our teaching of Biology is suffering from academic dry rot; that laboratory dissection of a dead animal gives the student a knowledge of the details of structure of that animal without giving any knowledge of, …

The Scientific Method, L. Begeman

Science Bulletin

What is a perfect recitation? In the fifteenth chapter, page 201 of Dewey's "How We Think" will be found a statement of Herbart's formal steps of instruction. They have been designated as the five perfect steps of a recitation. As Dewey says, "These five steps have had greater and better influence on the 'hearing of lessons' than all other methods put together." Dewey further states "that the underlying notion of these steps is that no matter h ow subjects vary in scope and detail there is one and only one 'best' way of mastering them since there is a 'single …

Some Suggestions For Fall Laboratory Work In Animal Husbandry, H. Earl Rath

Science Bulletin

Now that the seed corn is selected for next spring, and the frost has put an end to grasses and other outdoor crops, the agricultural instructor often feels that little outdoor material is available for further study. With this in mind I would like to present a laboratory exercise that will provide for some valuable outdoor work, and can be used as the basis for much classroom study as well.

Organize That Club!

Science Bulletin

Now is the time to organize your Science Club. The cold months are club months. With the closing of the out-door athletic sports the pupils naturally turn to inside activities as outlets for their energies.

Youth And Art, Madge Anderson

Bachelors’ Theses

This thesis represents in part the effect that my recent study at Marquette University has had upon my work. In the light of this study I have re-viewed the problems of art education and re-formed my theories about it. This paper presents the philosophy at which I have arrived concerning Youth and Art.

Organization And Curriculum For Mentally Retarded Children, Alice M. Olwell

Bachelors’ Theses

The mentally retarded or exceptional child is one of the most puzzling personalities met with in our schools. He stands near the dividing line between normalcy and feeblemindedness, and his future happiness or tragic discouragement, and often ruin, depends upon the attitude of the school and the teachers towards his shortcomings during his childhood and adolescence. He may be trained to healthy competition in the field of labor with his normal brother, or he may reach adulthood an utter incompetent, a potential criminal, a moral degenerate, an unfortunate ne'er-do-well.

Silent Reading In The Fourth And Fifth Grades, Margaret Neis

Bachelors’ Theses

Among the various subjects taught in the elementary schools reading is of the most fundamental importance. It is the basic tool through which history, geography, science, literature. and art are mastered. Indeed man's knowledge would be very meager it he followed the Socratic method of the early Greeks and taught only by word of mouth. The oratorical method used in ancient times has been supplanted by the printing press, the herald of a new civilization. Today man is controlled to a large degree by the printed word. Consequently if the interpretation of the printed word is faulty the approach to …

Teaching English In The Upper Grades, Berdice Josephine Moran

Bachelors’ Theses

In common with many of the lower animals man has the gregarious instinct. He is social by nature. Solitude is one of the conditions he fears. Man longs for the society of his fellows. A community of interests is the tie which binds the group together. The social instinct in man is manifested by his desire to communicate his thoughts to others. This Inclination has caused people of one nationality to settle in certain sections of a city or state. The use of a foreign language has kept alive in the heart of the immigrant, the love of his mother …

Story Telling Helps To Develop Creative Powers In The Intellect Of The Child, Genevieve A. Roncke

Bachelors’ Theses

This thesis is primarily concerned with the development of creative powers in the intellect of the child. It would be well to determine exactly what is meant by "creative" as it will be treated here. To think of creation disentangled from change would be as futile as to connote man without soul. Change, then, is the distinguishing feature of creation, as soul is of man. Creative power is first manifested in creative thought, its colder, more hardy variety called reason.

Nutrition Of The Elementary School Child, Lucy I. Welch

Bachelors’ Theses

Realizing how this greatest of all national resources has been squandered, the people of today are aroused to the need of conservation of the race. They realize that the future of the country depends on the strength and vigor of the children of today. This realization, that the child must have a body, "as splendid as a king's castle -- with food that serves his needs, with play and rest and the habits which shall safeguard him through life," (2) is the chief reason for the development of the health and nutrition work.

Reading Outside Of School, Marion E. Daley

Bachelors’ Theses

Thomas, in "The Teaching of English in Secondary Schools" says, "When we English teachers consider the infinitely small amount of reading our pupils can do in school hours, in contrast with the infinitely large amount they can do outside of school~ and will do in the years that, in varying number, stretch far beyond their graduation days, when we realize the opportunities that we have in directing them to books that will fill their lives with a loftier ideal and open to them an ampler range of thought and emotion, we are indeed false to our trust if we do …
