Classroom Lighting, Walter Andrew Hotsko Aug 1950

Classroom Lighting, Walter Andrew Hotsko

All Master's Theses

The amount of light needed to produce the most efficient work is still subject to controversy. An adequate amount is recommended by everyone, but the definition of adequate varies as is evidenced in the amount of foot-candles suggested. But the emphasis now has shifted from "how much light should we have" to "how well can we see." Quantity and quality may now be regarded as the twin requirements for good lighting. This new look in school lighting can be summarized in two words--brightness control. It involves the control of brightnesses of everything in the visual field. This new emphasis not …

The Bowing Approach To Cello Playing, John C. Hopkins Jun 1949

The Bowing Approach To Cello Playing, John C. Hopkins

All Master's Theses

Too many cellists after several years of study have become comparatively far advanced and still are not completely acquainted with the instrument as a whole. Their practice has been confined to one string at a time, with the result that the student may have developed a position to fit that particular string, a position which enabled him to get at it with the least amount of trouble. In this method each exercise covers the entire range of the instrument in first position; each string is played on from the start. This procedure will force the student to adopt a playing …

You'd Like Teaching, Emil E. Samuelson, Harold Barto, Connie King, Ernest L. Muzzall, Reino Randall, Mary Simpson, Loron Sparks, Sarah Spurgeon

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

This book has two purposes; first, to give the facts about teaching; and second, to encourage high school students to consider teaching as a life work. It is, of course, an argument for teaching; however, it is not based on the assumption that all who read will promptly decide to become teachers. It frankly attempts to highlight the important personal qualities needed m teaching and to assist you to decide whether teaching is the right occupation for you. Here are the important fundamental questions: Is teaching interesting? What positions are open? Am I suited for teaching? How do I prepare …

In Defense Of The Public Schools, Emil E. Samuelson May 1945

In Defense Of The Public Schools, Emil E. Samuelson

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

It is apparent that American public education is under attack. Furthermore, there is plenty of evidence that this attack is mounting, for criticism of educational practices seems to be steadily increasing. It would be well to recognize this trend and to analyze the criticisms carefully. For it isn't likely that these criticisms can be entirely dismissed as an inevitable part of "war hysteria" even though the world war has undoubtedly provided a favorable climate for criticism of public education.

This isn't a discussion of whether we spend too much or too little for education. The true American patriot would spend his last dollar to insure our democracy as our way of life.

America for these reasons can afford free public education at any cost. This is, rather than a discussion of …
