School Science and Mathematics, Vol. 12: January, 1912 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from School Science and Mathematics, Vol. 12: January, 1912
In a town in Africa I interviewed schoolboys, apparently about 12 years old, who could tell me about Louis Pasteur. In this country are we to turn out high school graduates who can name the wives of Henry the Eighth, but who have never heard of Pasteur or Koch or Chittenden? Are the adventures of Eneas at the court of Dido more important or more interesting than the discoveries of Reed, Carroll, and Lazear?
The course in physiology should be conducted by a teacher who is interested in it and Will endeavor to make it of practical value to the students. The mere learning and reciting of lessons from the book may not be useless, but it should be supplemented by experiments, some of which the pupils can do at home and report on at school. A fresh heart and lungs should be obtained from a butcher and the lungs inflated. Each pupil should see the cir culation in the web of a frog's foot or some other animal mem brane. Models of the eye and several other organs should be examined The application of the lessons to actual livmg should be discussed freely and the difficulties of properly applying the knowledge acquired should be overcome, if possible. The pupil while in the secondary school Will not become much of an anatomist or physiologist but should acquire sufficient knowledge of these subjects to help materially in understanding hygiene.
