The Objectives Of Primary Reading, Leona L. Zarling

Bachelors’ Theses

Recent investigations in reading have shown us the need for adaptation of methods to the needs of modern social life, and the broadening of the school curriculum. The National committee on Reading has adopted three major objectives of reading.

The first of these is to give rich and varied experience in reading. Since reading aims to prepare a child to live a fuller and more intelligent life, early reading should aid in establishing a good fund of information, and thereby should broaden his interests and help him to understand and interpret future situations. Care in selection of materials will help …

Prevocational Guidance, Burton L. Ambrose

Bachelors’ Theses

A critical appreciation of the historical aspects of any contemporary educational movement is important. All modern social programs have their roots in the past. Our modern world is not static. No civilization rests on permanent changeless foundations. All reveal a growing changing organism. Development is the keynote, of what we often presume to call, progress. Movements, which were important a generation ago, have ceased to register a present value. Society is in a constant state of flux, and at no two periods have conditions been the same.

Care And Education Of The Defective School Child, Mathew Barkley

Bachelors’ Theses

In the past, we have either paid too much attention to the defective child, to the detriment of the normal child­ren in the schools, or in a majority of the cases we have neglected him entirely. We must figure out a system of education which will take care of him adequately without working a hardship on the children who are able to do the regular school work. We must measure hie capabilities and gauge his work according to hie ability.

Bachelors’ Theses

Teaching Citizenship In The Grades, Catherine U. Hogan

Bachelors’ Theses

Within the last twenty years, the aims and methods of teaching citizenship have changed very materially Formerly, a knowledge of the facts of government was deemed sufficient to make a good citizen, but recent history of men in high offices has proven that such is not the case.

Diganostic And Remedial Reading In The Primary Grades, Myrtle C. Merritt

Bachelors’ Theses

"READING is both the most important and the most trouble-sane subject in the elementary school curriculum," (1) The importance of this subject is recognized by educators everywhere. Recent years have brought forth a particularly large number of investigations in this subject. William Scott Gray (2) in his Summary of Investigations Relating to Reading, Chapter II, gives a. historical sketch of such investigations. Many of these had their beginnings in European experiments which paved the way for the work in American laboratories by Lough,· Delabarre, Huey Dodge, Dearborn, Judd, Freeman, Schmidt, C.T. Gray; Buswell and others. For example, C. T. Gray …

Introducing The Biology Course In The Classroom, Roy L. Abbott

Science Bulletin

The success of any course in high school science often depends upon the interest aroused in it during the first days of its presentation. This interest is particularly easy to arouse in biology, chiefly, l suppose, because people are always interested in living things, or things that have been alive. Moreover, though he does not recognize it as such, nearly every pupil has considerable biological knowledge when he first comes to class, and it is this preliminary knowledge which can be made a strong entering wedge into his interest in the subject.

The Structure Of Matter, L. Begeman

Science Bulletin

At the present time, physical science recognizes the following divisions of matter: masses, molecules, atoms, electrons and protons. Matter appeals to us directly in the form of masses. We can readily sense a mass of water, a mass of air or a mass of iron; but it is quite different with the other divisions of matter. Molecules are so small that it takes about seventy billion billion of them laid side by side to extend through the length of one inch.

Misconceptions Concerning Respiration, C. W. Lantz

Science Bulletin

The respiration of plants is misunderstood by a large majority of the students who enter our general botany classes in college. This misunderstanding is about as common among students who have had biological training in high school as among those who have not. I am also convinced that a very large majority of people, in general, not excluding college graduates, have the wrong conception of plant respiration. It seems that there must be something wrong with the teaching of this subject in our schools.

A Bird Study Plan, Winifred Gilbert

Science Bulletin

Examination of the subject matter of the most commonly used general science texts in Iowa shows the topic of "bird life" to be meager or wholly lacking.
