The Home Room Of The Junior High School, Gertrude M. Dean

Bachelors’ Theses

It is my purpose, in this paper, to discuss the unit of the junior high school, the Home Room.

I have consulted the leading authorities on second­ary education, junior high schools, and home rooms, in order that I may quote from the material that they have written on this subject.

I have found that much has been published in the last five years concerning the importance of the home room. I have obtained my material from books written about junior high schools, from books which discuss extra-curricular activities, from magazines, and from pamphlets.

I shall present my subject by giving …

Correlation Of Art With The School Subjects Of The Upper Grades, Irene E. Cappon

Bachelors’ Theses

Art pervades every phase of life. Beauty is universal in its appeal. All children seem to delight in form and color from infancy. There seems to be a natural impulse in all to express· thoughts and feelings creatively and constructively through pencils, crayons, paints, clay, wood, and other media. All children find pleasure in seeing their efforts take visible form.

Extra-Curriculum Activities In The Junior High School, Ethel M. Fox

Bachelors’ Theses

The fundamental origin of all students' activities not covered by the curriculum is really a physical urge, round even among primitive people; namely, the element or
play. Play activities are characteristic of primitive people, especially during the adolescent period. Ceremonials and mysteries, the basic features of the lodge, are derivations of this natural urge. It is the ritual idea that helps to keep alive many secret orders, and it is this same ritual idea that makes a dynamic appeal to adolescence. Successful leadership of youth requires an intimate knowledge or the basic appeal of adolescence.

The Value Of Music Appreciation In The Elementary Grades, Alice M. Holland

Bachelors’ Theses

Music appreciation is an understanding and enjoyment of good music. It is an inborn tendency natural to all people incapable of ever being completely extinguished but always capable of resuscitation and of being made larger.

Problem-Solving In Arithmetic, Eva M. Acker

Bachelors’ Theses

For a century arithmetic has been a popular subject in the elementary schools, and has consumed more time than any other subject. The war had an effect in reducing this time on arithmetic, largely due to the war-time emphasis on health, food production, back-of-the-line morale, and kindred subjects. More recently, school activities and playground work have come in for a reasonable share of the school time. The Twenty-ninth Yearbook recognizes the child as the center of interest, and the final criterion of all values being the effect any technique of teaching or any content of instruction has on the child. …

The Teaching Of Art In The Public Schools, Emma Dorothy Hamann

Bachelors’ Theses

We are in the midst of a vigorous and widespread reform movement in educational methods. The great aims of the new trends are creative self-expression and development of a tolerant adaptation to environment. In contrast to uni­formity, standardization, and conformity to ideas of others, the twentieth century philosophy emphasizes confident affirma­tion or the importance of self, uniqueness and originality. Development of technique becomes a means toward an end, not an end in itself. The new education seeks to evoke and to build upon the urge to create. Hughes Mearns so fittingly stated, "It cannot be summoned. It can only be …

A Study Of The Psycho-Graphs Of Fifty-Five High School Students To Determine The Relationship Between Musical Talent And Various Degrees Of Intelligence, Marie H. Weatherly

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

From time immemorial music has played an important part in the life of the race; but it has been incidental rather than purposive. This incidental process meant that only those persons who had extreme talent and the inner urge became musicians. Frequently, these persons were either highly intellectual or at the other extremity of mentality, so the belief arose that musical talent was associated with great intelligence and to be a successful musician one must have wide experience, a liberal education, broad purpose and high ideals; or that a musician was among the most un-intelligent of men, sometimes near the …

Play In Education, Mary Gratiana Mcparland

Bachelors’ Theses

There is always occasion for stressing the necessity of more physical exercise and recreation, especially of the kind that makes for developing body and mind alike. In these pages the compiler endeavors to show that ’’the old order changeth,” because life continually grows more complex, and an ever-increasing number of people seek the cities in order to make their homes there. Methods must change with changing times, and pro¬ vision must be made for the healthful recreation of the masses.

Pre-Primer Reading, Meta Terlinden

Bachelors’ Theses

I shall attempt to show, in this thesis, the importance and· feasibility of pre-primer reading as an adequate foundation for primer reading. While pre-primer reading has taken an important place in the curriculum during recent years, there has been an ever-increasing interest taken as to its value, especially to children of low intelligence and to foreign children. I have obtained my references, to a large extent from William S. Gray and Laura Zirbes in their article on Primary Reading which appears in the Class Room Teacher Volume II, and also from articles on reading which are given in The Twenty-Fourth …

The Exceptionally Bright Child, And Provisions Made For Him In The Classroom, Ella T. Poppe

Bachelors’ Theses

Leadership and efficiency will always be determined by the sane, the apt, the well-balanced. If this be true then the gifted ones should be so trained and given opportunity commensurate with their natural aptitudes and thus be made levers by which the whole plane of existence may be lifted to higher levels of intelligence, conduct and happiness.

The apt, the .bright, the gifted pupil is not only entitled to our consideration as his right, but because of the necessity for his leadership in the progressive movements of our civilization. The public schools are criticized for not making provisions for the …

The Teaching Of Percentage, Margaret J. O'Neil

Bachelors’ Theses

The aim in teaching arithmetic is to present it as a help for life. It is to guide the child in learning the arithmetic which he needs in his life today and which he will need when he has grown to manhood or womanhood. It should present to him, also, the activities of his life and the life about him which cannot be understood without the knowledge and use of arithmetic.

Line Play In Football, Francis J. Linscott

Bachelors’ Theses

Line play in football has gradually evolved from a massed attack, as prevalent in the early eighties, to an open game that is in vogue today. Participants in the early days of football called this a "block game." The team in possession of the ball would not make any attempt to advance it if they were playing a superior team. This evil became so great, however, that a rule was enacted, whereby the team in possession of the ball must advance five yards in three scrimmages or suffer a penalty of ten yards. This was changed later on, and a …
