The Scientific Method, L. Begeman

Science Bulletin

What is a perfect recitation? In the fifteenth chapter, page 201 of Dewey's "How We Think" will be found a statement of Herbart's formal steps of instruction. They have been designated as the five perfect steps of a recitation. As Dewey says, "These five steps have had greater and better influence on the 'hearing of lessons' than all other methods put together." Dewey further states "that the underlying notion of these steps is that no matter h ow subjects vary in scope and detail there is one and only one 'best' way of mastering them since there is a 'single …

Some Suggestions For Fall Laboratory Work In Animal Husbandry, H. Earl Rath

Science Bulletin

Now that the seed corn is selected for next spring, and the frost has put an end to grasses and other outdoor crops, the agricultural instructor often feels that little outdoor material is available for further study. With this in mind I would like to present a laboratory exercise that will provide for some valuable outdoor work, and can be used as the basis for much classroom study as well.

The Beginning Course In High School Physics, L. Begeman

Science Bulletin

All authorities on the teaching of physics are agreed that the beginning work of a class in high school physics should be distinctly concrete in nature. It should consist of such subject matter as will readily connect up with the acquired concepts of the student. It is best not to begin with the unfamiliar, abstruse concepts of force, motion and acceleration usually placed first in the high school text.

Organize That Club!

Science Bulletin

Now is the time to organize your Science Club. The cold months are club months. With the closing of the out-door athletic sports the pupils naturally turn to inside activities as outlets for their energies.

A Brief History Of The Development Of Physical Education, Louis A. Zinsmeister

Bachelors’ Theses

When one wishes to inquire into the origin, or at least into the early forms of physical development, one turns to the early civilized nations for material and information. Knowledge of the early Egyptians, the Persians, and the Greeks comes to us through historians who deciphered the writings of these ancient peoples, so that we now know something about their lives and habits. The earliest forms of physical labor were those connected with hunting, tilling the soil, building homes, and warfare. As each of these developed, man also progressed in skill and became more and more proficient in the use …

Nutrition Of The Elementary School Child, Lucy I. Welch

Bachelors’ Theses

Realizing how this greatest of all national resources has been squandered, the people of today are aroused to the need of conservation of the race. They realize that the future of the country depends on the strength and vigor of the children of today. This realization, that the child must have a body, "as splendid as a king's castle -- with food that serves his needs, with play and rest and the habits which shall safeguard him through life," (2) is the chief reason for the development of the health and nutrition work.

The Relation Of Athletics To The Adolescent Boy, Peter Francis Murphy Jr.

Bachelors’ Theses

The adolescent period, or "youth," as it is sometimes called, extends from the arrival of puberty to the attainment of maturity,. This period, therefore, begins about the twelfth or thirteenth year and is brought to a close in about the twenty first year, and for that reason is frequently termed the "teen" age.

The adolescent stage of life is usually split into three divisions, each overlapping the other, and these divisions are called for convenience, early, middle and late adolescence. The first extends from the twelfth to the fifteenth year, the second from the fourteenth to the eighteenth, and the …
