Synopsis

Learn how everyday science protects your health—from vaccines and clean habits to safe food and safer surroundings.

It connects historical discoveries to everyday habits, showing how individual actions can improve your environment and community health.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Associate Professor of Education, Department of Secondary Education, Teachers College, Columbia University THAT education during the intermediate school period has been unsatisfactory is proved not so much by the number of criticisms directed against it as by the general willingness of schoolmen to modify their programs. To make satisfactory changes in the Jcurricula and courses of study, there is need of a convincing statement of worthy purposes for the school, and of definite but .non-restricting outlines of courses for the several subjects. The chief educational purpose of the junior high school is con. ceived as the exploration, by means of subject-matter in itself worth while, of the interests, aptitudes, and capacities of the pupils, and at the same time for the pupils of the possibilities in :the major fields of learning and activity. An acceptance of this statement of purpose carries with it the obligation to furnish education that is of the maximum value even if a pupil should -drop out of school at the end of any term or month or week; to ,learn through the studies the particular needs, interests, aptitudes, and capacities of each pupil, so that he may be most wisely advised in regard to his future; and to reveal to him the impor) tance and the limitations of the several major fields of learning )and of activity, so that he may intelligently participate in determining his own future. The worth of proposed details in any subject of study may be judged by the extent to which they agree with two other statements of general purpose: The first duty of the school is to train its pupils to perform better the desirable activities that they are most likely to perform anyway.
