The Bowing Approach To Cello Playing, John C. Hopkins
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 …

The Need For Conservatism In Educational Theory, Joseph C. Trainor
The Need For Conservatism In Educational Theory, Joseph C. Trainor
All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies
THE so-called "progressive" movement in education has in recent years given rise to the theory that the educator's primary function is to improve society. By assuming leadership education will force such improvements in the social order in directions such that the children of the next generation will develop more naturally. A two-fold attack is presented by those who hold this viewpoint. A concerted campaign of propaganda is carried on to bring about as rapidly as possible the assumed trends toward collectivism of one kind or another, while at the same time the internal environment of the school is transformed into …
Maneuvers In World History, Harold E. Barto
Maneuvers In World History, Harold E. Barto
All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies
In February 1935 the Washington Education Joumal carried a brief article under the title of "World History, 'What's It All About?'" Since then several letters have come from world history teachers from within the state. Frankly, they have caused some embarrassment. In almost one accord they have chided the writer with pointing out some of the problems relative to presenting world history without giving a hint as to possible remedial measures. 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 …

Project Teaching Of Manual Training, Henry J. Whitney
Project Teaching Of Manual Training, Henry J. Whitney
All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies
Recent numbers of this magazine and other good publications have emphasized the necessity that manual training teachers have a well recognized theory back of their work, and further, that the value of the work of any teacher is in direct ratio to the clearness with which this theory is comprehended and followed in practice. A project is any activity purposed by an individual and by him carried through. Project teaching of manual training is the most difficult kind of teaching, but withall the most fruitful, for it furnishes the opportunity to develop those qualities of manhood that our democratic society …
