...quantum theory, as it is evidenced in the photo-electric effect and the spectrum of hydrogen. Each experiment is described and demonstrated prior to the discussion of the theory which explains it. Agreement between theoretical and experimental results is carefully tabulated throughout. The mathematics is limited to algebra; integral signs are banned in order that the nonmathematical student may feel at home. There is a reading period...
...schools on the personal attributes of the teachers, the ease of loafing, the tendency for children to turn to various forms of artistic self-expression without finishing what they have started, a form of child dilettantism; the need of occasional old-fashioned and naturally irritating bouts with grammar and algebra--all these strains on the system are recorded by Mr. Fuess as dangerous to it. But the game, he says, is definitely worth the candle...
...fact that a large variance exists in the marking standards of various readers, despite the best of standardized systems of marking used by the College Entrance Board. Concerning even an exact a science as mathematics for example, the committee found that in "a study of markings of the algebra and geometry examinations of the College Entrance Examination Board revealed an amazing variance in the individual judgments of the different examiners. The correlation between random markings of the algebra examination was only...
...each course will be devoted to review and research. Boys will prepare written reports on their work. 3) Realizing that there are more and less advantageous periods throughout the day, Headmaster Richards has arranged a daily "staggered, rotating schedule." For instance, in a given week the boy may have algebra the first period on Monday, the second on Tuesday, the third on Wednesday, the fourth on Thursday and the fifth on Saturday. Not only are all subjects arranged thus "diagonally" across the academic schedule, but the algebra which occurred the first period on Monday of one week will occur...
...languages, achievement is inherently cumulative. If the necessary structural elements are mastered in the early years, continued practice and broadening of vocabulary brings added power for those who have capacity for linguistic study. In other instances, where we have been accustomed to think in terms of different divisions,--Algebra, Geometry, or Physics, Biology,--there must be more conscious effort to bring out the common elements and underlying principles and to establish continuity between courses in the same field. Again, even with a homogenous group of student in a course of concentration the instructor must not assume the attitude...
