Teaching Language through Agriculture and Domestic Science. Bulletin, 1912, No. 18. Whole Number 490
Download full textLeiper, M. A. – United States Bureau of Education, Department of the Interior, 1912
One of the most difficult problems of modern school practice is how to prevent overcrowding the curriculum, breaking up the school day into small fragments of time devoted to disconnected tasks, and dissipating the energies of the children to such an extent that the process of education is hindered rather than helped by the attempts to enrich and…

The list here presented is not intended to include the "hundred best books" on education. It merely offers, within a reasonable compass, representative selections from those divisions of educational literature, both general and special, that are of marked interest and value to the public-school teachers of America. As such it may serve…

Martens, Elise H. – Office of Education, Federal Security Agency, 1950
Mentally retarded children, as here defined, are those who because of poor intellectual endowment are unable to cope, with the standard requirements of regular grades. They are in particular need of special educational services planned for intellectually subnormal children. These include approximately 2 percent of the school population. Some…

Blough, Glenn O.; Blackwood, Paul E. – Office of Education, Federal Security Agency, 1949
Every child today is in contact with the results of scientific discovery and should have at least some understanding of the principles of modern science. The increasing complexities of the age in which we live make this imperative. For this reason, the study of science has become an essential part of the curriculum of every elementary rural and…

Browne, Hetty S. – United States Bureau of Education, Department of the Interior, 1913
About 79 per cent of the rural schools in the Southern States have only one teacher. It is evident, therefore, that a plan must be worked out which will enable this single teacher to make her school a factor in the development of the life around it. On November 2, 1910, the Peabody Board appropriated $600 to work out such a plan. It was finally…

Strickland, Ruth G. – US Office of Education, Federal Security Agency, 1946
Units of work represent an effort on the part of the school to relate subject matter and the development of skills in the organization of children's learning about important interests, topics, or problems. The units are made by teachers with their children and are designed to fit the situation in which they are to be used. There is no single…

Dresslar, F. B.; Wood, Thomas D.; North, Charles E. – United States Bureau of Education, Department of the Interior, 1912
One of the most important factors in the education of children is the establishment of their physical health, without which all learning and training must have less value for the individual and for society than they would have with it. Implicitly in the act creating the Bureau of Education and explicitly in recent acts of Congress, investigations…

Bathurst, Effie G.; Franseth, Jane – Office of Education, Federal Security Agency, 1951
This bulletin describes practices in one- and two-teacher schools that are helping rural boys and girls get a good education. It contains suggestions for improving the programs of schools that do not meet the needs of boys and girls in the country today. In the school year 1947-48, there were approximately 75,000 one-teacher schools and 18,000…

McNeely, Simon A.; Schneider, Elsa – Office of Education, Federal Security Agency, 1950
The elementary school years are crucial in the life of a boy or girl. In this formative period, children's experiences profoundly affect their physical, social, mental, and emotional growth. Today's schools are challenged to provide meaningful experiences that will help these children realize their full potential. Physical education is one of the…
