To train a teacher
Schools for teachers in North America began in 1839 with Normal School in Lexington, Mass., now the State Teachers College at Framington, Mass.1 At Bridgewater, Mass., in 1846 the first building for teacher-training purposes was erected; it was dedicated by Horace Mann (1796-1859) with this dramatic sentence: Coiled in this institution, as in spring, there is vigor whose uncoiling may wheel the spheres! The word normal comes from the Greek throug…
The birth of our nation's public schools
attention to welfare of their children. The birth of public school was a difficult and prolonged labor. Its development-increase in favour with God and man-covered generations of trial and error, in a spirit of strong-sometimes stubborn-conservatism. What was teacher's lot in Good (or was it Bad) Old Days? Did they deserve better things? Did an English background mold curriculum of Pilgrims' schools in America? What of old in public education has…

Evolution of the epigram
The significance of the word epigram is-obviously-briefness. Space for tomb-writing was limited. The word is kin to maxim, Latin for greatest. This implies most wisdom in least space. Another in the family is proverb, Latin for words put forward-a pithy saying often in metaphor. In turn, metaphor means something over your head, which suggests that our definitions cease. An old English epigram is, Know all you speak, but speak not all you know. If…

Why the scholastics counted angels
In the darkness of his prison Boetius had written (or dictated) five books on The Consolation of Philosophy. As these were read in the new schools, the last Roman philosopher became the first Scholastic. Earnest teachers rallied to disprove the idea that only the ignoranthermits, pillar saints, shabby wanderers-could be truly godly. In due time the schools were offering the seven liberal arts (arithmetic, astronomy, geometry, grammar, logic, musi…
How scientists reason
Scientists are human beings. They are not magicians, sorcerers, or wizards, although they have often been accused of practicing the black arts. They are seers only to the extent that they can suggest the effects that follow causes, and soothsayers in the degree they wish to hazard their reputations by prediction. Scientists as individuals possess the human frailities common to their age and stage. As a class they are better trained than the avera…

Again the publishers have let me look at their books, and sort them as to subjects and price groups for this list-the sixteenth annual publication of High School Science Library. These titles will satisfy almost every desire for a type of enriched reading in science. Herein is practicality-much that will help in the intensive courses of mechanics, aviation, and other practical arts. Herein is drama; the adventure books this season are particularl…
The status of generalized or integrated science in state teachers colleges
A recent unpublished study' made by the junior writer under the direct supervision of the senior writer portrays the general development and recent trends of generalized, integrated, or survey courses in the curricula of the state teachers colleges. There was much instruction of a general nature on the college level back in the days when history and philosophy appeared in the college curricula. Specialized fields of had already been introduced, h…

The price groups of these lists are designed to aid librarians in adjusting their purchases to definite budgets for science books. As before, these price groups indicate our judgment as to first purchases that will secure both quality and variety; $10 buys our choice of key books; $15 more adds our next recommendation to complete the $25 list; $25 more supplies a practical $50 list; $50 more swells the order to a $100 list; $150 more presents a r…
Starting the small physics laboratory
The days of old, when lamps were rubbed, wands waved, or formulas uttered to bring things springing into complete existence, must have been wonderful for physics teachers. If palaces could be built by this magic, why not laboratories? Unconsciously, you have harbored such a conception of the laboratory, for in the university you waved a magic card with your name on it, and apparatus came forth from a seemingly inexhaustible store. Bottles which y…

For the fifth time1 it is our pleasant opportunity to examine a truly imposing shelf of science books, and select, classify, and briefly describe those which we would most heartily recommend to an inquiring high-school librarian. This list is characterized by the same plans and viewpoints which, it is hoped, have made its predecessors useful. They are: 1. The classification into price groups, accommodating budgets from $10 to more than $250. 2. T…
