Book Description
Excerpt from The Teaching of Biology in the Secondary School With this thought in mind, I have not hesitated to champion my own views on the kind Of a course which should be given in the high school. To this end, though not to this end alone, I have presented in so much detail as the space at my disposal would permit, an outline for such a course. Its use fulness will lie in indicating the more important bearings and correlations Of the various topics taken up and the most useful materials for laboratory work.

Book Description
Adequate Preparation For The Teacher Of Biological Sciences In Secondary Schools This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Excerpt from Adequate Preparation for the Teacher of Biological Sciences in Secondary Schools The use of the term preparation herein is intended to indicate partially the limitation of the problem attempted. The following discussion will be concerned only with such attributes of the successful teacher as are the direct result, or at least greatly enhanced by thorough preparation. A sufficiently comprehensive and difficult problem remains after still further restriction of the field so as to include only subject matter and the method of biological science.

Book Description
Excerpt from Biology and Human Life It takes account further of another tendency in our current life, namely, the rapid extension of secondary-school opportuni ties to new population groups. The high schools now receive increasing numbers of boys and girls whose interests and aspira tions are radically different from those of earlier generations of pupils. The high school is no longer primarily or chiefly a college-preparatory institution. More and more of our students are concerned with the concrete and the practical rather than with the abstract and theoretical. Boys and girls who look for ward to an early entrance upon occupational activities and the responsibilities of earning and spending money have as much need for the study of biology as have those who plan to go to college or the professional schools. Even among these last there are very many for whom the subject can be most interestingly and most profitably developed in terms of our everyday affairs rather than in terms of academic analysis.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Teaching of General Science Never before in this country has there been so insistent a demand for a more thorough and more comprehensive system of instruction in practical science. Forced by recent events to compare our education with that of other nations, we have suddenly become aware of our negligence in this matter. Now industrial and educational experts and commissions are united in demanding a change. While on the whole there has been a steady increase in the amount of time given to science work in the secondary and elementary schools, the attention paid to it, especially in the elementary schools, has been some what spasmodic, and its administration has been more or less chaotic. This is not due to lack of interest on the part of school officials but to their dissatisfaction with the methods of instruction employed. There is no doubt that superintendents would gladly introduce more science if they felt sure that the educational results would be commensurate with the time expended. This is indicated by a recent survey of about one hundred and fifty cities in seven states of the Central West. The survey shows that two-thirds of them have nature study in the elementary schools and that all are re quiring some science for graduation from the high school. The average high school is offering three years of science. Since 1900 there has been a greater increase in the percentage of students enrolled in science in the high schools than in any other subject with the one exception of English. Moreover, greater attention is now being paid to the training of teachers in methods of presentation of science. X The chief needs in science instruction today are a more efficient organization of the course of study with a View to its socialization and practical application, and a clear-cut realization on the part of the teacher of the aims, the principles of organization, and the methods of instruction; it is to meet these needs that this series is being issued. The books attempt to present such generalizations of science as the average pupil should carry away from his school experience and to organize them for the preparation of the teacher and for presenta tion to the class. The volumes will therefore be of three kinds: (1) source books with accompanying field and laboratory guides for the use of students in normal schools and schools of education, and of teachers, (2) pupils' texts and notebooks, and (3) books on the teaching of the various science subjects. In the first the material will be organized with special reference to the training of the teacher and the most effective methods of presenting the subject to students. In the second the matter will be simplified, graded, and arranged in such a way that the books will serve as guides in science work for the pupils themselves. Moreover, they will furnish texts for the grades and high school that will simplify the teacher's task of presentation and will assure well-tried and well-organized experiences, on the part of the pupil, with natural objects. This series of texts for elementary and secondary schools will have dependent continuity and the subject-matter will gradually increase in difficulty to accord with the increasing capacity of the pupils. It will furnish a unified course in science. The third type of book is for the teacher and deals with the history, aims, principles of organization, and methods of instruction in the several sciences.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Manual for the Solution of Problems in Biology Most teachers of biology in secondary schools to-day aim to emphasize the biological relations of. Plants and animals from a physiological standpoint. The practical aspect is also becoming more and more recognized as most desirable, as opposed to the strictly educational and cultural functions of this subject. Moreover, it is being gradually brought to our attention that methods of study that induce thinking are of far more import than any attempts at mere memorizing.1 Hence we have what may be called the Problem Method of study and class exercise.

Book Description
Excerpt from Biology: The Story of Living Things Here are a few chips left over from the authors' workshop. First of all we do not pretend to have presented herein the last word in a field already overcrowded by worthy rivals. The last word has an undesirable mortuary connotation quite out of keeping in a book about living things. The authors have been teaching biology for a total of ninety-four academic years, in addition to over sixty seasons of strenuous service in summer field work with classes at marine and fresh-water labora tories, and they can truthfully and enthusiastically say that they have enjoyed this experience. If what they would pass on to other students of biology appears from the table of contents to bear the familiar marks of old stuff, the reason is that it represents, in their minds at least, what remains after many years of trial and elimination at the hands of an army of different teachers and scholars. The fact that much material that has been worked over before it was retained does not necessarily prevent, it is hoped, some degree of freshness in its presentation. Any text book, the authors hold, should be somewhat like a dish of uncracked nuts, accompanied by a good substantial nutcracker. It is desirable that the reader should have some of the fun of wielding the nutcracker, for no pedagogical cellophane can preserve nuts already shelled in an entirely fresh and satisfactory condition for a very long time. An inevitable handicap that the textbook method of presentation of any subject is bound to suffer, is the fact that between the covers of a book the whole banquet is set upon the table at once in a more or less complete array. It is the part of the instructor to break up the feast into courses and to serve them in digestible portions. Perhaps the method of suspense employed in magazine serials would furnish a better way of arriving at the desired end than presenting the matter all at once in book form, since sufficient time should always be pro vided between the planting and harvesting of intellectual ideas to allow for unforced sprouting and growth.
