Permanent Achievements Of Science, W. H. Kadesch Oct 1931

Permanent Achievements Of Science, W. H. Kadesch

Science Bulletin

A very delightful man whom I once knew often said that he was deeply grateful to science for all its invaluable gifts to humanity, but that he would have more confidence in scientists if only they would change their minds less frequently. His indictment of science for its instability was a long one, and took a wide range.

Vitalizing Science Teaching, E. J. Cable Oct 1931

Vitalizing Science Teaching, E. J. Cable

Science Bulletin

Scientific problems are not generally discovered by those who sit and idly dream of ease and pleasure, but are found by those who walk through nature with eyes open and all the senses awake to the myriad question marks that are encountered at every turn of the road. Every boy and girl may acquire the scientific turn of mind without the use of a laboratory fitted with expensive apparatus, although all great scientists do their most valuable research in such laboratories. What the science teacher of our public schools needs to do is to direct young life to be always …

Narcotics, H. E. Rath Oct 1931

Narcotics, H. E. Rath

Science Bulletin

The law requires that the nature and effects of both stimulants and narcotics be taught in the public schools. A short time ago the writer asked a dozen college students to describe the nature of the effects of narcotics, and to give the extent of their use. The replies were all much alike. All seemed to have a hazy idea that narcotics put a person into a stupor and that while in this condition the addict dreamed rosy dreams and had a pleasant time generally. Likewise most of the dozen seemed to have the impression that the use of narcotics …

Why Biology?: Editorial Oct 1931

Why Biology?: Editorial

Science Bulletin

Recently, a yoting woman of strong antivivisectionist convictions entered the office of a professor of biology and asked if she might buy some cats which he was keeping for dissection. Upon his refusal of her request - for cats have a way of becoming scarce when wanted for anatomical purposes - she said caustically: "You biologists are regular butchers. Unless one is going to be a doctor or a teacher of biology, what good can it possibly do to know the insides of a cat'?"

Further Observations On The Golden Digger, Roy L. Abbott Sep 1931

Further Observations On The Golden Digger, Roy L. Abbott

Science Bulletin

In two previous numbers of this journal, I have already given some of the results of my studies on the habits, instincts, and intelligence of the Golden Digger wasp. During the past summer I have again studied this wasp, but will give here only a few observations, reserving the rest for a more extended paper.

Science Clubs In High School, C. W. Lantz Sep 1931

Science Clubs In High School, C. W. Lantz

Science Bulletin

The high school has placed a great deal of emphasis on certain extracurricular activities such as athletics, debating, dramatics, etc., but very little attention has been given to any extra-curricular activities in science. Since science does play such an important place in our lives, it seems desirable to consider the possibilities of some extra-curricular activities in high school science. The high school science club offers such an opportunity.

General Science, L. Begeman Sep 1931

General Science, L. Begeman

Science Bulletin

What is General Science? It is wholly an environmental study-not merely one's natural environment but more particularly his man-made environment. In this day and age three-fourths of a man's existence is spent in an environment of invention whether it be in the home or on the street.

The State Course Of Study: Chemistry, R. W. Getchell Sep 1931

The State Course Of Study: Chemistry, R. W. Getchell

Science Bulletin

The State Department of Public Instruction has recently completed a far-reaching and valuable contribution to the curriculums of our state system of schools. With the cooperation of many prominent educators of Iowa, courses of study for the grades and departmental courses for the High Schools have been carefully prepared and made available to all teachers. Among these outlines is one for chemistry teachers. According to policy, these course outlines are distributed gratis to the school and become the property of the district.

The Story Of Steve, And Others, Roy L. Abbott Sep 1931

The Story Of Steve, And Others, Roy L. Abbott

Science Bulletin

Steve was a Leopard frog. I say "was" because he long since vanished into the maw of a snapping turtle, and would straightway have been transformed into a part of that twenty-pound bundle of ferocity, had not said turtle been thrown into a furnace by an irate janitor who was fond of Steve but disliked the snapper. Hence, the end of Steve was the occasion for this story of frogs in general and Steve in particular.

Torrid, Temperate And Frigid, Misleading Terms In Geography, Alison E. Aitchison May 1931

Torrid, Temperate And Frigid, Misleading Terms In Geography, Alison E. Aitchison

Science Bulletin

In the March, 1930, issue of the Science Bulletin there was published an article under the caption “Misleading Terms in Geography''. After a discussion of certain terms which had found their way into the science before the days of extended and careful exploration the authors presented an investigation which was being carried on and asked the help of Bulletin readers in furthering it. Since many of the readers of the Bulletin are new and many more have probably forgotten the article it might be well to re-state the problem.

Life In The Biology Laboratory, E. G. Brockman May 1931

Life In The Biology Laboratory, E. G. Brockman

Science Bulletin

Shortly before our class in 10th grade biology was formed, I started preparing a balanced aquarium for the laboratory. In it we have about a dozen small gold fish, several snails, two tad-poles, and a good growth of moss. This aquarium has provided us a great deal of pleasure, as well as many illustrations of life itself.

Science In Seventh And Eighth Grades, Mabel Gauger May 1931

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 May 1931

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.

The Magnetic Effect Of An Electric Current, L. Begeman May 1931

The Magnetic Effect Of An Electric Current, L. Begeman

Science Bulletin

From a practical point of view, the magnetic property of an electric current is of great value to man. It is this property that is utilized in the dynamo for the generation of large currents of electricity. It is also this property that enables man to utilize the driving power of the electric motor in the manufacturing industries.

Stimulants, H. Earl Rath May 1931

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 …
