The Radio In Music Education, Adaline E. Wilk

Bachelors’ Theses

Up to the present the music of the world, in its completences, has been the private preserve of a little band of people who happened to live in the places where it could be heard, and who happened to have money enough to pay to hear it. Henceforth, it belongs to everybody. This means an immense widening of public interest in music, and I believe, a great raise of public taste. In five years' time, in my expectation, the general musical public of Europe and America will be treble or quadruple its present size. And the next generation instead of …

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 …

Types Of Reading Activities In The Junior High School, Mae Rooney

Bachelors’ Theses

Reading has always had a place of first importance in the elementary school curriculum. However radical changes have taken place in the teaching of reading during the last twenty years. A generation ago, emphasis was placed upon oral reading, but it is recognized today that silent reading needs more teaching emphasis than oral reading because it is recognized that silent reading is used far more in the daily life of the individual. The average person encounters numerous situations daily when he is called upon to get the thought from the printed page and apply it in his life. In comparison …

By spoken English, I mean the general training of the voice for speech.

During recent years more and more attention has been paid to the supervision of the study habits and activities of high school pupils.

The Teaching Of Art In The Elementary Grades, Josephine M. Mccrory

Bachelors’ Theses

To those who have experienced beauty in its various phases, there is no doubt as to the worth of art education. Years ago, however, during the early years of our history, when men's thoughts were concerned chiefly about their economic ideas of living, little or no thought was given to art at all. As time progresses, leisure is added, little by little, to man's program of living. He, therefore, begins to turn his thoughts toward art.

Science In The High School Curriculum, C. L. Jackson

Science Bulletin

“What sciences should be offered in a consolidated high school?” “Our high school school enrollment is about three hundred. What sciences should we include in our course of study?”

For several reasons no dogmatic statement will be made in answer to such questions, but it is hoped that we may be able to offer some suggestions which may help the individual superintendent or principal in deciding the questions for himself.
