The principle of social utility seems to be gaining prominence. Attempts to discover the 'real' use of arithmetic are being conducted.

First Grade Reading Activities, E. Esther Nimz

Bachelors’ Theses

After years of scientific research, educators are agreed that in order to teach primary reading successfully, the laws of learning must be utilized. The three important laws which govern learning, are the Laws of Readiness, Effect and Exercise.

As soon as a child shows a desire to read, he should be encouraged to do so and an opportunity should be provided. He should be surrounded with interesting and attractive reading material because according to the law of readiness we find that when a bond is ready to act, it will result "in satisfaction; not to act will result in annoyance.

The Children's Theatre, Marcella Dolan

Bachelors’ Theses

All normal children are hungry for beauty, and they take delight in seeing their instincts represented on the stage. Too often in the past the mistake has been made of writing and playing down to the children. Their imaginative lives have a dignity of which they are keenly aware, and they resent quite naturally and properly any condescension. In child entertainment it is hard to realize how little is being accomplished, particularly in the field of drama. In education it is probably necessary to start early in order to develop the fever tastes and it is a gradual and arduous …
