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.

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 …

Remedial Work In The Three Types Of Percentage Examples, Martha Robbins

Bachelors’ Theses

The Special Reviewing Committee, with Mr. Leo J. Brueckner as Chairman, says in a statement in the Appendix of the Twenty-ninth Yearbook that: "Arithmetic should make a vital contribution to the intelligent consideration of various aspects of business, consumption, production, government, and social relationships which lend themselves to quantitative study and analysis. The real meaning of profit and loss, the responsibilities and difficulties of the retailer and the wholesaler, the relationships of home and business establishments are part of the field of arithmetic..... In no subject is there the opportunity to teach the pupils the considerations that should underlie the …

Trends In The Teaching Of Oral And Written English In The Upper Grades, Alice E. Fowler

Bachelors’ Theses

English is a unit of study. Including in its scope "language" in the lower grades and spelling, reading, composition and grammar in the upper, it is by far the most important subject in our schools. All parts of this whole are closely interwoven, and the study of one of these branches is the study of the whole. An understanding of grammar aids in cor­rect expression; a knowledge of the difficulties of composi­tion lays a foundation for a true appreciation of literature; and literature itself is the best aid in the art of graceful and powerful composition.

Some High Lights On Science Club Work

Science Bulletin

"The success of the club is of course more dependent upon the director than upon any other one factor. The director should take no active part during the meeting, except when it is necessary to carry the boys over what is to them an insurmountable difficulty-his frame of mind should be that of a man behind the scenes, who having set the stage stands by watching the performance, ever-ready to step into a situation and set things right. The ability to do this properly comes with practice. It does not demand exceptional ability or personality - Next to efficient leadership, …

The Place Of The Green Leaf In The World, C. W. Lantz

Science Bulletin

Why is a leaf? Ask the question of twenty-five of your friends and if five can give the correct answer I will be surprised. The green leaf is the food factory for the world. It is the plant organ that captures the energy of the sun and in the process of photosynthesis builds of carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water and stores this energy in potential form. Later, through oxidation processes, this energy is released and does most of the work of the world. The green plant connects the inorganic world with the organic world and our energy is directly …

Colloids, R. W. Getchell

Science Bulletin

The increasing importance of the chemistry of colloids is giving them a wide recognition in the general chemistry texts of college grade. In a lesser degree they are included in the high school books but the information is often so condensed as to offer little of value. The writer believes that two or three class periods near the end of the year's course should be devoted to this subject and this article will attempt to present basic fact upon which may be built a discussion of colloids for high school pupils.

Concerning Cottontails, Roy L. Abbott

Science Bulletin

The cornfield lay above a low bluff overlooking a swamp, and for half an hour I had tracked that cottontail through a perfect maze of weeds and cornstalks. Warming with the chase, I was determined to have that particular bunny if it took me all morning. if I had not known better, I would have thought he was teasing me. Time and again, his tracks led into a bunch of grass with every indication that he was there for the day, but always they led out on the other side.

Teaching Of General Science In The Junior High School, Joseph T. Petska

Bachelors’ Theses

In this age of science and materialism there is not in the writers opinion, a more enriching course in our high schools as is a well balanced, well organized course in general science! It is enriching because, if taught well, it functions in the lives of the learners, it bridges the gap between the life of the learner and his environment.

The writer feels that the work in general science is of great importance and is worthy of the best thought of those responsible for the details of the courses in this subject in the junior high school. In spite …
