Silent Reading In The Fourth And Fifth Grades, Margaret Neis

Bachelors’ Theses

Among the various subjects taught in the elementary schools reading is of the most fundamental importance. It is the basic tool through which history, geography, science, literature. and art are mastered. Indeed man's knowledge would be very meager it he followed the Socratic method of the early Greeks and taught only by word of mouth. The oratorical method used in ancient times has been supplanted by the printing press, the herald of a new civilization. Today man is controlled to a large degree by the printed word. Consequently if the interpretation of the printed word is faulty the approach to …

Teaching English In The Upper Grades, Berdice Josephine Moran

Bachelors’ Theses

In common with many of the lower animals man has the gregarious instinct. He is social by nature. Solitude is one of the conditions he fears. Man longs for the society of his fellows. A community of interests is the tie which binds the group together. The social instinct in man is manifested by his desire to communicate his thoughts to others. This Inclination has caused people of one nationality to settle in certain sections of a city or state. The use of a foreign language has kept alive in the heart of the immigrant, the love of his mother …

The Place Of Extra-Curricular Activities In The Junior High School, Borgia Rettler

Bachelors’ Theses

"Extra-Curricular Activities" is becoming a familiar phrase. It refers to "those legitimate activities which ·are not provided for in that part of the school program which is usually designated as the curriculum." (1) The phrase is apparently new, yet the activities it refers to · are, in elementary form, as old as our educational system itself. · The Friday afternoon exercises, the spell-downs, and athletics under various forms, are of long standing in American schools. Previous to the last ten or fifteen years, however, such activities were carried on in an unsystematic way and consequently had no definite plan of …

The Development Of Character Education, Evelyn M. Shaughnessy

Bachelors’ Theses

All down through the Christian years of Civilization the ultimate end of all education has been the production of men and women of character and high ideals. Then as the rush and commercialism of modern times swept upon us, this real end of education seemed to be overshadowed in the search for mere information.

Spelling In The Upper Grades, Anna Helen Tabert

Bachelors’ Theses

The English language because of its peculiar development from many sources, presents unusual spelling difficulties. The early and various contributions of the Angles, Saxons, Danes, Northmen, Normans, French, Celts, and Latins, are further confused by our continual practice of borrowing words from foreign languages. To alleviate these difficulties some attempts have been made at spelling reform.

The Platoon School As Modified In The Cass Street Rotary School, Anne E.M. Mccusker

Bachelors’ Theses

The aims of education are determined by the needs of society. In our first school, those of the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, the American colonists demanded that their children should have at least the rudiments of an education. The most important aim of instruction was to enable children to take their place in the community as God fearing, Bible reading citizens. After the Revolution came social and industrial development. The aims of education changed. The curriculum expanded. The twentieth century ushered in a great industrial and social age with new and peculiar problems. The school again expanded its curriculum …

Vocational Guidance Administration, Mary Elizabeth Keenan

Bachelors’ Theses

As listed in the United States Census of occupations and home making the term "vocational" comprises all gainful occupations. (1) In order properly to understand the administration of vocational guidance, a practical survey of section 11 of the Smith-Hughes Act, of 1917, is necessary as a background to the genesis of this movement which promises to form the major problems of our schools for an indefinite period.

Story Telling Helps To Develop Creative Powers In The Intellect Of The Child, Genevieve A. Roncke

Bachelors’ Theses

This thesis is primarily concerned with the development of creative powers in the intellect of the child. It would be well to determine exactly what is meant by "creative" as it will be treated here. To think of creation disentangled from change would be as futile as to connote man without soul. Change, then, is the distinguishing feature of creation, as soul is of man. Creative power is first manifested in creative thought, its colder, more hardy variety called reason.

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.

Reading Outside Of School, Marion E. Daley

Bachelors’ Theses

Thomas, in "The Teaching of English in Secondary Schools" says, "When we English teachers consider the infinitely small amount of reading our pupils can do in school hours, in contrast with the infinitely large amount they can do outside of school~ and will do in the years that, in varying number, stretch far beyond their graduation days, when we realize the opportunities that we have in directing them to books that will fill their lives with a loftier ideal and open to them an ampler range of thought and emotion, we are indeed false to our trust if we do …
