A Study Of Physics Teaching In Iowa High Schools, Alice Seeds, Rex Hancox, John W. Chittum

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

It is a matter of common knowledge that many Physics teachers in Iowa are not efficient because of their lack of training, and that many do not have what we would consider the minimum amount of training necessary to teach Physics in high school. It is taken for granted that teachers in small towns may be more poorly prepared than those in larger cities (though there are many exceptions to this). In this survey we have treated only of teachers in towns of 1000 or more population. All of the data is divided into three groups: group A includes towns …

A Schematic Classification Of General Psychology, Christian A. Ruckmick

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The elementary student is usually bewildered by the presentation of technical names which are used to describe the various branches of elementary psychology. Very often he cannot easily distinguish between differences in points of view, methods of approach and fields of activity. In a previously published article an attempt has been made to clarify the situation on the subject of method. The same thing has here been attempted for the subdivisions of psychology.

The Iowa State College Reasoning Test, Thomas F. Vance

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In order to arrive at the point of this paper on the subject, "The Iowa State College Reasoning Test" it is necessary to describe briefly the other tests of which it is one in the series. The psychological test which has been given this year to the Freshman class of Iowa State College is a modified Alpha. The Alpha was chosen as a basis on which to construct a new form for the reason that it has given consistently higher correlations than it has been possible to secure with any other test. In the modified form, Arithmetic, the Synonym and …

A Preliminary Study Of The Nature Of Finality In Melody, Ruth Updegraff

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

According to a recognized definition, a melody is a succession of musical sounds which is felt to constitute a unity. The stipulation, sometimes made, that this unity must be aesthetic, is felt to be not only ambiguous, the aesthetic depending to some degree on individual taste, but restricting, in the sense that melodies termed aesthetic by common consent would be few in number. Unity implies, first, an interrelationship, and secondly, coherence and completeness as a whole; that is, relationship and finality. The melody problem is that of discovering how a series of tonal stimuli can excite a feeling of unity.

The Relation Of Mathematics Aptitude To Other Aptitudes, R. D. Sinclair

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The purpose of this study was to determine the relation of mathematics aptitude to aptitude in other subjects. The materials available for the investigation were (1) certain tests that had been taken by the Freshmen upon entering the University in 1925 - tests in Mathematics Aptitude (M.A.) and Mathematics Training (M.T.), English Aptitude (E.A.) and English Training (E.T.), Chemistry Aptitude (C.A.) and Chemistry Training (C.T.), and French Aptitude (F.A.) and French Training (F.T.); (2) High School Content Examinations, Iowa Comprehension Test, and Thorndike Intelligence Test Part 1, Form B; (3) grades made in courses during the Freshman year; and (4) …

A Simple Derivation Of The Equation For Mean Free Path, George E. Davis

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

According to simple kinetic theory, in which all the gas molecules but one are considered stationary, the mean free path L is given by L = 1/N π σ² , where N is the number of molecules per cc. and σ is the molecular diameter. Clausius, considering all molecules to be moving with the mean relative velocity, finds L = 3/4N π σ^2. Again, Maxwell, applying his law of velocity distribution, obtains the result L= 1/√2N π σ². This value found by Maxwell is the one most generally accepted. If we consider it to be correct, …

The Address Of The President - The Ministry Of Science, R. I. Cratty

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

We are living in a very progressive age - one which when compared with that of our forebears, is filled with advantages for our welfare and enjoyment that challenges the attention of every thoughtful person. That knowledge is power was never a more self-evident truth than it is today, and science, which is simply classified knowledge, is every day coming more closely in touch with human lives, and ministers to us in innumerable ways undreamed of a century ago. Just how great our debt is for all this it is difficult to say. Captain Roald Amundson, that modern Viking whom …

The Transference Numbers And The Degree Of Solvation Of The Ions Of Lithium Chloride In Certain Alcohols, J. N. Pearce, W. G. Eversole

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

The low migration velocities of some of the ions of the elements of low atomic weight, as well as the many other phenomena that are not explained by simple electrolytic dissociation, have led to the belief that the ion does not lead an independent existence in the solution, but is solvated, or combined chemically with one or more molecules of the solvent.

Relativistic Reflections, Edward S. Allen

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

An important result of the great interest in the theory of relativity has been that mathematicians and physicists on the one hand, philosophers on the other, have given increasing attention to each other's work. It may not, then, be out of place for one whose interest in the subject has been mainly on the mathematical side to examine some philosophical inferences which have been drawn from it.

Cerebral Dominance In Speech, Lee Edward Travis

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

This study was an attempt to determine if the function of speech is controlled primarily by one of the two cerebral hemispheres. Cases of stuttering were chosen as the subjects. Approaches to the problem were made from several angles. (l) A brief case history was obtained. It had to do mainly with early manual dexterity, pre-school and early school training, onset of speech trouble, etc. (2) Tests for ocular dominance. (3) Tests for spontaneous mirror writing. (4) Tests for motor lead and (5) Studies of neuro-muscular action currents.
