What does a young American do? How does he spend his time? What is he compelled to do as a young citizen? How should he spend his time? How do his parents spend their time? The proper answering of these questions on the part of the school forms the core curriculum. Time was (and is yet, for that matter) when adult teachers decided what the child should learn and then attempted to force him into learning it. They paid little attention to the circumstances of the moment and oftentimes little attention to reality. Too little attention was given to the …

In February 1935 the Washington Education Joumal carried a brief article under the title of "World History, 'What's It All About?'"

The following suggestions no doubt represent methods which are being employed by all history teachers either directly or indirectly. They are neither new nor unique. However, they may help …

Building The School Entertainment Day By Day: Sharing Experiences With The Community, Jennie Moore
All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies
"What school experiences will my pupils enjoy sharing with their friends?" you ask yourself. As you think of the people in the community, it seems probable that many of them learned to read by the word method, that they mastered spelling by the valiant repetition of letters, that history to them was a mass of names and dates, and that their recesses were listless breaks in the routine of classes. To see their children or their neighbor's children doing happily that which was drudgery to them will be a rare treat. And so arises the idea for your first school …

A Review Of The Pedagogical Studies In The Teaching Of Spelling, Mary A. Grupe
A Review Of The Pedagogical Studies In The Teaching Of Spelling, Mary A. Grupe
All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies
Despite the fact that a few far-seeing men have, from the early years of the eighteenth century, inveighed against the dominance of spelling and the "cruel drudgery" it entailed upon the learner, the subject remained an independent discipline far into the nineteenth century. To be able to spell was the criterion whereby to judge the educated man and so ingrained did this become in the popular mind that even to this day our grandfathers, nay our fathers, dubiously shake their heads because spelling no longer occupies a conspicuous place on the schoolroom program and because, as they insist, the rising …
