The Value Of Art Education In Life, Carrie Vollmar

Bachelors’ Theses

Little has been written on the subject of "The Value of Art Education in Life," because art education has been until recent years and still is to some extent considered one of the frills of education and has not been given the place of an essential.

Children's Reading, Mildred Mary Grosskopf

Bachelors’ Theses

Probably the subject in the curriculum which has been most thoroughly studied and investigated by educators during the last few years is reading. There has been "a search for easy methods, philosophic methods, all sorts of methods by which a child may be inducted into its delights and mysteries. --- The subject has not only been covered, it has been immersed." (Cf. "A Guide to Lit. for Children" by W.T. Field. p. 60.)

Children's Reading, Mildred Mary Grosskopf

T. Field, p. 60.) But important as it is that the child be taught how to read, it is perhaps of even greater importance that he be guided in …

The Value Of Play In Education, Helen F. Madden

Bachelors’ Theses

The aim of this thesis is to show that play is a necessary part of a system of education,. It aims to show that the training of play is so fundamental, so necessary, and so educative that the child, as Froebel suggests, cannot grow to the full measure of his manhood without it, and that a deep seated love of play is not something that has to be opposed and suppressed, but rather encouraged and developed.

Play Life, Dorothy Flatz

Bachelors’ Theses

So universal is the impulse to play that there is no part of the world in which play and play traditions do not exist in some form. All over the civilized globe, girls play with dolls, boys wrestle, and older people dance. The game called Blind Man’s Buff may be seen in France, in Scotland or in any other country. The game, Fox and Geese, played in one section of our country may be found slightly altered as Fox and Chickens in another section. Play is not only a part of our civilized nation but is just as much a …

Art Education In The Intermediate Grades, Mina Mclaughlin

Bachelors’ Theses

Any history of art education in the United States, no matter how brief, should begin with the far-sighted vision of that great genius, Benjamin Franklin. As early as 1749, he advocated the teaching of drawing by imitation of prints and some of the first principles of perspective.

The Development Of Study Habits In The Junior High School, Selma L. Wolters

Bachelors’ Theses

The aim of this thesis is to show how definite study habits may be developed in the Junior High School. With children coming from many outlying schools, different nationalities and correspondingly different environments and study methods, it is imperative that at the beginning of the school year, one makes a brief survey of the entire group, seeing what has been done, the difficulties which are to be removed and how best to deal with various students who do not seem to have the necessary background for the establishment of sound study habits. Many books and numerous chapters have been written …

Gifted Children, Esther Wolfgram

Bachelors’ Theses

In the past few years, the problem of the gifted children has been more thoroughly investigated than formerly. The experiments pertaining to the unfortunates--the delinquent and the feeble-minded--have been numerous, but the experiments dealing with the more fortunate have been neglected. This unfortunate neglect of the gifted has been due to the tendency of people to notice whatever gives them pain or annoyance. These problems were studied and experimented with; but the gifted children at the other end of the scale were neglected. The idea in teaching was to lift up the lowly end so there would not be such …

With the concrete examples of the technical procedures for these four types illustrated, I have endeavored to accumulate sufficient evidences of claimed values to justify the …

The History Of Play In Education, Esther M. Hayes

Bachelors’ Theses

The value of play in education is no longer questioned by those who have studied the subject.

Play is an element in education. There is no contrast between play and education. Knowledge is useful only so far as it promotes efficiency in the practical affairs of life. It is in play that the child gains control of his body, acquires accuracy and preci­sion in motion and judges distances, sights, and sounds.

The most fundamental lesson of character training is sports­manship. It would be well worth putting play into the curriculum for this reason alone. Play is the most perfect democracy. …

Modern Methods Of Teaching Geography In The Upper Grades, Ella M. Hoffman

Bachelors’ Theses

With the outbreak of the World War, we, as a nation, became vitally interested in Europe. Later when we were drawn into the contest, that interest reached its highest pitch. Since then we have realized that geography is not a collection of dry, unrelated facts that must be learned merely for the sake of the mental training it gives us, but that it is a vital, living subject that concerns living, vital people all over the world and their relation to each other. When the war broke out, we were ashamed and astonished at our lack of geographic knowledge. We …
