National Geography Meetings, Alison E. Aitchison

Science Bulletin

The Christmas vacation always brings a full quota of meetings of interest to those who are engaged in educational work. Especially does this seem true for those interested in science. Two meetings of value to geographers were held at Ypsilanti, Michigan, where the new Union building, an alumni project of the Michigan State Normal College, afforded an excellent meeting place.

The Lure Of The Turtle, Roy L. Abbott

Science Bulletin

I believe I never meet with a turtle without looking at him a second time at least, and I usually pick him up if I have an opportunity. For there is a lure about him, he attracts me powerfully though I can not tell just why. It may be partly admiration for his mighty ancestry, partly pity for his fallen estate, but some of it is just plain, everyday liking for his rather unprepossessing self. But there is plenty to see in him for all that!

Current Induction, L. Begeman

Science Bulletin

The modern transformer, now quite generally used in the commercial distribution of electrical power in the cities of the world, ranks next to the dynamo in importance in the electrical world. The transformer is an invention which embodies. the practical application of Faraday's first experiment in current induction, in which a closed iron ring carrying a primary coil and a secondary coil was used.

Are You Educated?, H. Earl Rath

Science Bulletin

A few months ago we tried to set up a sort of standard by which a per- son might judge as to whether or not he could satisfy the demands of ordinary health. It shall be the purpose of this article to set up a standard by which an individual might judge of the adequacy of his or her health knowledge. This discussion is based largely on the "Ten Commandments" by Dr. Livingstone Farr -and, given in an address before the American Public Health Association, and printed in College Text books of Hygiene by Smiley and Gould. Many will probably …

The Plants Of Emmet County, Iowa, B. O. Wolden

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Emmet County lies in the northwestern part of the state bordering on Minnesota and is one of the smallest counties in Iowa, having an area of only 395 square miles. Space will not permit any lengthy description of the physiography and the geological formations of the county. These are fully treated in the report on the Geology of Emmet, Palo Alto and Pocahontas Counties by the Iowa Geological Survey.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Science In The High School Curriculum, C. L. Jackson

Science Bulletin

“What sciences should be offered in a consolidated high school?” “Our high school school enrollment is about three hundred. What sciences should we include in our course of study?”

For several reasons no dogmatic statement will be made in answer to such questions, but it is hoped that we may be able to offer some suggestions which may help the individual superintendent or principal in deciding the questions for himself.
