A Plea For The Boys, Belva L. Swalwell

Science Bulletin

Have you ever raised the question why high school boys are not allowed, as a rule, to take courses of the type of Personal Hygiene, Home and Community Hygiene, First Aid, Home Care of the Sick, Clothing, Foods, and the like - courses now open almost exclusively to girls?

Molecular Forces, L. Begeman

Science Bulletin

One of the characteristic properties of molecules assembled in masses is their attraction for one another. While it is customary to classify these attractions under two heads, cohesion and adhesion, it is well understood that there is in reality only one form of attraction.

Presenting The Problems Of Feeding, H. Earl Rath

Science Bulletin

It has been the experience of the author that the teaching of feeding taxes the ingenuity of the agricultural instructor more than most other agricultural topics. The mere statement of principles without application or proof offers little of permanent value to the pupil. On the other hand, an attempt to pursue all, or even a small part, of the mass of data necessary to prove even a single principle, leaves the student groggy and confused. Neither is there time allowed in most courses for such procedure.

Professional Growth, R. W. Getchell

Science Bulletin

The first class provides bits of scientific information which can be interspersed in class discussions. Such items will add interest to the class work and may indicate new and modern uses for chemical substances and appliances. They are found in such publications as Popular Science Monthly. The second class of articles are indispensable to good teaching.

Maps As Laboratory Material, E. J. Cable

Science Bulletin

If the study of physiography is to be made real, vital and practical, the classroom recitation should be ac- companied by some kind of well-planned laboratory work. The nature of the exercises should vary with the region in which the teacher works. Where it is possible to take classes out of doors to see the action of the various agents that are at work changing the surface of the earth, the classroom recitation is motivated in a way that cannot be secured from a mere verbal discussion. To make the study broader, the teacher should use the topographic map.

Static Electricity, S. F. Hersey

Science Bulletin

There is ample evidence that many electrical phenomena were observed in early times. Thales, of Greece, about 600 B.C., observed that amber when vigorously rubbed would attract light bodies such as scraps of thin paper. When a piece of magnetic iron found in Asia Minor was seen to attract bits of iron it was suggested that the two phenomena might be identical, but early in the seventeenth century Dr. William Gilbert pointed out the difference and brought the words "magnetism" and "electricity" into use.

Prevocational Guidance, Burton L. Ambrose

Bachelors’ Theses

A critical appreciation of the historical aspects of any contemporary educational movement is important. All modern social programs have their roots in the past. Our modern world is not static. No civilization rests on permanent changeless foundations. All reveal a growing changing organism. Development is the keynote, of what we often presume to call, progress. Movements, which were important a generation ago, have ceased to register a present value. Society is in a constant state of flux, and at no two periods have conditions been the same.

Health Education In The Elementary School, Alice E. Hager

Bachelors’ Theses

The aim of this thesis is to give the purpose of health education in the curriculum; to define health and health education; and to present methods and drills for health education in the elementary school.

Teaching Citizenship In The Grades, Catherine U. Hogan

Bachelors’ Theses

Within the last twenty years, the aims and methods of teaching citizenship have changed very materially Formerly, a knowledge of the facts of government was deemed sufficient to make a good citizen, but recent history of men in high offices has proven that such is not the case.

Diganostic And Remedial Reading In The Primary Grades, Myrtle C. Merritt

Bachelors’ Theses

"READING is both the most important and the most trouble-sane subject in the elementary school curriculum," (1) The importance of this subject is recognized by educators everywhere. Recent years have brought forth a particularly large number of investigations in this subject. William Scott Gray (2) in his Summary of Investigations Relating to Reading, Chapter II, gives a. historical sketch of such investigations. Many of these had their beginnings in European experiments which paved the way for the work in American laboratories by Lough,· Delabarre, Huey Dodge, Dearborn, Judd, Freeman, Schmidt, C.T. Gray; Buswell and others. For example, C. T. Gray …

Introducing The Biology Course In The Classroom, Roy L. Abbott

Science Bulletin

The success of any course in high school science often depends upon the interest aroused in it during the first days of its presentation. This interest is particularly easy to arouse in biology, chiefly, l suppose, because people are always interested in living things, or things that have been alive. Moreover, though he does not recognize it as such, nearly every pupil has considerable biological knowledge when he first comes to class, and it is this preliminary knowledge which can be made a strong entering wedge into his interest in the subject.

The Structure Of Matter, L. Begeman

Science Bulletin

At the present time, physical science recognizes the following divisions of matter: masses, molecules, atoms, electrons and protons. Matter appeals to us directly in the form of masses. We can readily sense a mass of water, a mass of air or a mass of iron; but it is quite different with the other divisions of matter. Molecules are so small that it takes about seventy billion billion of them laid side by side to extend through the length of one inch.

Misconceptions Concerning Respiration, C. W. Lantz

Science Bulletin

The respiration of plants is misunderstood by a large majority of the students who enter our general botany classes in college. This misunderstanding is about as common among students who have had biological training in high school as among those who have not. I am also convinced that a very large majority of people, in general, not excluding college graduates, have the wrong conception of plant respiration. It seems that there must be something wrong with the teaching of this subject in our schools.

A Bird Study Plan, Winifred Gilbert

Examination of the subject matter of the most commonly used general science texts in Iowa shows the topic of "bird life" to be meager or wholly lacking.

The Molecular Kinetic Theory, L. Begeman

Science Bulletin

Every teacher of elementary physics should have a thorough understanding of the molecular kinetic theory of matter since it is so indispensable in the explanation of various phenomena in physical science. One might even divide contemporary elementary physics into three divisions, viz: mass physics, molecular physics and electronic physics.

The Open Season For Teachers: An Editorial

Science Bulletin

The next three months arc anxious ones among our teachers. Some are seeking advancement; others are hoping for re-election; and many are looking for their first school. Chance will play an important part in many cases. The "influential third party" will land positions for some. But for most applicants desirable qualifications will be the largest factor.

Professional Growth, R. W. Getchell

Science Bulletin

An official in a small school system was discussing the requirements for a good teacher. "We prefer teachers," he said, "who will outgrow their position in our school." What greater challenge to professional growth could be offered to a teacher in service?
