RX for a “perfect” elementary school teacher

RESUMPTUOUS and fundamentally impossible as it may be, subject to hearty disagreement as it surely must be, it is still intriguing to attempt an imaginary prescription of the ingredients that combine to produce the ideal elementary school teacher. It is intriguing because through such imaginings the elementary school teacher may note his own weaknesses and strengths, and perhaps be encouraged to take remedial action with respect to the former or to capitalize on the latter. To those who prepare teachers in colleges and universities, it may prove beneficial to observe where inadequacies exist in their educational programs, and to make plans for improvement. But this portrayal of the student participating in educational experiences in the perfect teacher-training institution should be a process individually engaged in by each interested person, and regardless of what is written herein ultimately must be. Nevertheless, most people are aided in critical thinking by a presentation of ideas with which they may agree or disagree. That is a purpose of this paper. It may be that few will disagree with this statement: teachers are not born with the ability to teach children, nor can they invariably acquire that ability. Both, inherited qualities and acquired attributes, are essential to outstanding teaching success and neither can be said to be more significant than the other. Consequently, a college cannot make a perfect teacher out of every student who enters its doors. To expect that would be as unreasonable as to expect a manufacturer to construct a perfect product out of inferior or incorrect raw materials-more so, in fact, for the preparation of human beings for specific roles in society is a much more intricate task. Therefore, the young person who presents himself at an educational institution with the goal of becoming an outstanding teacher will bring with him many essential qualifications. If he does not have them, the college cannot supply them. One ingredient, if he or she is to become the perfect teacher, is in-

Personnel Work In Schools Of Nursing

This has been prepared as a guide for the development of student personnel programs in schools of nursing education. Its primary purpose, therefore, is to instil in the prospective counselor, the teacher, the supervisor and other members of the administrative nursing staff a greater knowledge and understanding of the problems, technics and methods involved in the guidance and counseling of students in training. The book is divided into four parts, including a brief introductory review of the structural, physiologic and psychologic bases of human behavior, learning and adjustment. The remaining sections are devoted to the counseling program itself, which the author has handled with expert knowledge. Part II describes the essential qualifications of counselors, individual technics and many of the nursing problems that are commonly encountered in educational, personal and vocational counseling. In part III the reader becomes familiar with the various methods employed in the selection of students as well

CEREBRAL AIR EMBOLISM AND VITAL STAINING

In the course of an investigation into the nature of certain forms of damage to the brain from anoxia, cerebral air embolism was produced under controlled conditions in dogs, and was followed in 5 of these animals by intravenous administration of trypan blue. While this work will be reported in its entirety at a later date, the observations in the cases in which vital staining was involved are described here, in so far as they have a bearing on the subject of the hematoencephalic barrier. A general consideration of the physiologic factors involved precedes the description of the experimental phase of the work. Trypan blue was chosen as a dye which seemed to combine most of the essential qualifications for intravital use in a manner most suited to the purpose of this work. The fact that this dye will not, under ordinary circumstances, pass through the walls of vessels directly

Physics without Apparatus

I.IT is almost a proverb in science that some of the greatest discoveries have been made by the most simple means. It is equally true that almost all the more important facts and laws of the physical sciences can be illustrated and explained by the help of experiments made without special or expensive apparatus, and requiring only the familiar objects of common life for their performance. The greatest exponents of popular science—and amongst them notably Faraday—delighted in impromptu devices of this kind. It is indeed surprising how throughout the whole range of natural philosophy the hand of the master can turn to account the very simplest and rudest of apparatus. A silver spoon, a pair of spectacle lenses, a tumbler of water, and a few sheets of paper suffice to illustrate half the laws of geometrical optics. A few pieces of sealing-wax, some flannel, silk, writing paper, pins, and glass tumblers will carry the clever experimenter a long way into the phenomena of electricity. These are things which any person can procure, and which any person can be taught to use. But their right use depends on the possession of accurate scientific knowledge and a clear understanding of what the various experiments are to prove. In fact the art of experiment and the science of inductive reasoning are the essential qualifications necessary to make Physics without apparatus profitable.
