The Supervised Study Of History In The High School, Alfred J. Niesen

Bachelors’ Theses

During recent years more and more attention has been paid to the supervision of the study habits and activities of high school pupils. Serious students of education have not been carried away by enthusiasm for this innovation, but they have subjected this movement to the searching test of careful analysis and statistical evaluation. It is the aim of this paper to formulate a definition of supervised study, to describe and evaluate the different methods and techniques now being employed, to arrive at conclusions on the basis of statistics which are now available, and to show that in spite of present …

Character Training In Education, Margaret Mary Quinn

Bachelors’ Theses

There is no more significant trend in current education than the nationwide movement of character training. Interestingly enough, this trend has developed alongside of the scientific movement in education, though much more recently. The scientific trend that has characterized education during the present century, has sought to reduce it to a precise and controlled process through the utilization of the findings and techniques of the psychological and social sciences. Increasingly research and experimentation are yielding valid techniques for carrying on the various processes of education. But with the increasing number and refinements of techniques there has been of late a …

Work Of A Teacher-Librarian In A High School, Lilian Gaskell

Bachelors’ Theses

The librarian is more fortunate than the teachers, who know only the pupils in their classes, for all she knows all the pupils in school. They come to her wanting help in lesson arrangements. Thus she has an opportunity to teach them how to use books and libraries. But still more important is that she has an opportunity to guide and direct the leisure reading of pupils. She must be a good judge of young human nature, a pleasant, patient, sympathetic, understanding kind of person if she is to win the confidence of boys and girls, if she is to …

The Education Of The Retarded Pupil, Rose M. Murphy

Bachelors’ Theses

The retarded pupil that will be considered is the normal child whose mental age and achievement score are below the standards accepted for a child of his chronological age. The school must provide for this type of child now, more than formerly, due to the increased period of attendance required, and changed economic conditions. Regarding this matter Ryan and Crecelius’ state the following:

"Until recently secondary education has concerned itself very little with ’the masses’. in this country the original purpose of the secondary school was to provide selected youths with the training prerequisite for theological study."

The Radio In Music Education, Adaline E. Wilk

Bachelors’ Theses

Up to the present the music of the world, in its completences, has been the private preserve of a little band of people who happened to live in the places where it could be heard, and who happened to have money enough to pay to hear it. Henceforth, it belongs to everybody. This means an immense widening of public interest in music, and I believe, a great raise of public taste. In five years' time, in my expectation, the general musical public of Europe and America will be treble or quadruple its present size. And the next generation instead of …

The Six - Three - Three - Plan In Public School Music, Mabel C. Mannix

Bachelors’ Theses

Education - in the present day at least - is a truly complex affair. In the details of its program it may be said to succeed when it brings us to an understanding of our material and gives us command over it.

The Use Of Marionettes As A Project In The Elementary Schools, Elizabeth M. Grady

Bachelors’ Theses

A few years ago we associated the marionette entirely with the Italian showman. Now a veritable renaissance of interest in marionettes seems to be sweeping over every country, out own included. Many artists were quick to see the educational as well as enjoyments possibilities in this fascinating form of drama. The result has been that in almost every city and town some sort of work with marionettes is being done in the public, private and parochial schools from the primary grades to high school.

Methods In Audience Reading In The Upper Grades, Anna E. Moran

Bachelors’ Theses

This essay is an attempt to set forth those ideas about and aids for audience reading that have been gained in classroom practice and observation. The needs for audience reading, the materials for use in that field, its preparation, and some observations on the work as it is carried out in the Milwaukee Public Schools are presented.

The views of leading educators in the field of reading have been quoted and presented in order that a comparison might be made between the Milwaukee practices and nation wide tendencies.

Extra-Curriculum Activities In The Junior High School, Clara S. Mueller

Bachelors’ Theses

Extra-Curriculum Activities occupy a place in every junior high school. The widespread interest in extra-curriculum activities has led to the study of various phases of the problem.

The apparent need for something to satisfy pupils with abilities unsuited to the prescribed traditional curriculum, turned my interest especially toward extra-curriculum activities since such a program can at least in a measure make adjustment for the individual differences in our students. The desire for further information as to the values, the place demanded, and the time allotted to extra-curriculum activities in our schools were motives which stimulated me to reading and study …

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 …

Types Of Reading Activities In The Junior High School, Mae Rooney

Bachelors’ Theses

Reading has always had a place of first importance in the elementary school curriculum. However radical changes have taken place in the teaching of reading during the last twenty years. A generation ago, emphasis was placed upon oral reading, but it is recognized today that silent reading needs more teaching emphasis than oral reading because it is recognized that silent reading is used far more in the daily life of the individual. The average person encounters numerous situations daily when he is called upon to get the thought from the printed page and apply it in his life. In comparison …

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 Teaching Of Fundamentals In School Music, Inez Helen Beckman

Bachelors’ Theses

The singing-school became an established organiza­tion where leaders would meet with a group and teach them the art of singing as well as they could. Most of the singing teachers were self-taught, for opportunities for instruction were meager. But though their musical standard and culture was not up to that of European instructors, it was sufficient to make them effective leaders, reinforced as it was by personal initiative and interest in musical progress. They taught the people the rudiments of music, each in his own way, and in his own field. Collectively they did a useful and indispensable work; for …

The Appreciation Of Literature In Junior High School, Frida Krieger

Bachelors’ Theses

What can be done to help pupils· in junior high schools appreciate the literature they read?

There is the constant problem before the teacher: to turn the reading-interest and reading-desire of the child from channels of mediocrity and insipid feeding to a desire for the finer things that broaden the outlook and enrich the soul.

The Use Of Current Events In Schools, Alexander Lilly

Bachelors’ Theses

Ab a comparatively recent addition to our public school curriculum, the function of current events is probably not as well known as that of the older studies in the curriculum. The author wishes to set forth, therefore, the importance of a knowledge of current events, the necessity of and various methods of teaching current events, and the use of current events as an aid to teaching other school subjects.

To this end he had delved into the many books and magazine articles on the subject and presents in this volume his findings, with the hope that they will be of …
