The Development Of A Reading Program In An Iowa High School, James E. Albrecht

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The interest Americans have expressed in the art of reading perhaps stems back to their original formulation of the goals of education, when reading took its place as the first of the "3 R's." Authorities today in the field of education are still agreed that reading should be considered as basic to all forms of education. The Iowa State Course of Study in English suggests that, "Reading is the chief means of gaining an education and of continuing the education after formal schooling has ended."¹

Some Photographic Materials And Techniques For High School Biology Teachers, Robert L. Calentine

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Biology teachers in the smaller high schools are often confronted with the problem of securing sufficient classroom teaching material: charts, specimens, and reference books.

An Evaluation Of One-Year Shorthand Programs In Secondary Schools With Particular Reference To The Public Secondary Schools Of Iowa, Darrell G. Jones

As the number of offerings in the curriculum must be limited, the curriculum offerings should be constantly reappraised. This study is intended to serve as an evaluative aid in the consideration of the place of the one-year shorthand program in …
