Silent Reading In The Second Grade, Gertrude O'Neill

Bachelors’ Theses

Silent Reading has been discussed very extensively by many of the best educators of the present day. Numerous investigations have been made so that we have quite an accurate knowledge of most of the vital things that are included in the process.

But a subject of so great importance and one which was wholly ignored until within a few decades, cannot be given too much consideration.

The reading in the primary grades should, to a great extent, be oral. However, a great deal of silent reading can be accomplished in the second grade.

Therefore, it is my purpose in writing …

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 …
