Science In Seventh And Eighth Grades, Mabel Gauger

Science Bulletin

Much value is obtained from clippings and pictures brought by the pupils and explained by them to the other members of the class. The article is discussed and then put on the bulletin board for two weeks where all may read it. Five or ten minutes of each class period are given over to "News", whether it be of the type above mentioned, or some personal experience, discovery or question along the line of the unit being studied.

The Beehive As An Aid In Biology, Winfield Scott

Science Bulletin

The honey bee never fails to generate interest. She calls forth the instinct of curiosity in the daring and fear in the timid. She challenges the courageous only to teach him caution. She challenges the timid and develops confidence. To those who like to study instinct in relation to environment, she presents countless problems.

Stimulants, H. Earl Rath

Science Bulletin

The state law requires the teaching of the effects of narcotics and stimulants. Most teachers would be glad to comply with the law if they were certain that they could present reliable information. The difficulty in the past has been that most of this information available was merely propaganda and not based on scientific fact. The tobacco companies have always been able to secure statements from people of prominence who were tobacco users to the effect that tobacco not only did them no harm but actually proved of value. Their statements were not based on scientific evidence, and many 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 …

Contributions Of Reading To Some Of The Other Content Subjects Particularly In The Sixth And Seventh Grades, Marion E. Theisen

Bachelors’ Theses

My purpose in this thesis is to show the contributions of reading to some or the other content subjects, particularly in the sixth and seventh grades. To so do it, I have consulted the leading authorities on both reading and study in order to make a complete survey of the material written on these subjects. I have recorded the main ideas of these authorities, and in most cases giving their direct quotations. In order to present the subject, it was necessary to particularly understand the nature of study, the objectives of reading, the relationship between study and reading, and the …

Speech Training In The Elementary Schools, Adell M. Schott

Bachelors’ Theses

One of the strongest impulses of the human heart is self-expression, the most important medium of which is spoken English. The fact that more attention and interest are directed at the perfection of written. English cannot be refuted when an intelligent investigation is made into the progress of spoken English. By spoken English, I mean the general training of the voice for speech.

Development Of Public School Music, Keith B. Deswarte

Bachelors’ Theses

The object of this thesis is to show to what extent music is recognized in the public schools. Its growth, in other words, from the singing school to the well rounded and organized music course of the present day public school. There is a slowly developing conviction that m ch of the old teaching of art in. the schools is attended by great waste, if not real injury to children on account of false pedagogical principles and lack of understanding of. child development. In the development of this thesis, I will try to show the new methods of music in …

Junior High School Reading, Grace E. Burdick

Bachelors’ Theses

The Essential Objectives in Reading in the primary grades the mechanics of reading demand the attention and are quite thoroughly mastered. The inter­mediate grades stress rate and comprehension and bring them to a high degree of efficiency. By the time a child leaves the sixth grade his reading habits are quite well established. The later grades must continue the work done in the middle grades, extend it and broaden it.

The Project In High School Science, Don D. Pettit

Science Bulletin

The use of the project in teaching the high school sciences is one of the major means of holding the interest of those who are taking the course chiefly because of requirements for graduation or college entrance. No doubt it would be an excellent means of presenting an entire year's work but would require a good deal of the teacher's time to develop such a course of study. This obstacle might well be overcome by gradually introducing the project year by year until the complete field was covered.

The State High School Course In General Science, C. W. Lantz

Science Bulletin

The course of study in general science for high schools issued by the State Department of Public Instruction has recently come from the press. The course is divided into fifteen units. Of these, eight are devoted primarily to physical and chemical facts; five are of a biological nature; and two deal with facts of astronomy and meteorology. The authors, however, have succeeded well in constructing a course in general science and have not merely put together unrelated parts of physics, chemistry, biology, and astronomy.
