Synopsis

Excerpt from An Investigation Into the Growth of Language Concepts in Science of Bellevue Intermediate and High School Students, 1937<br/><br/>This field of investigation was suggested to me by Dr. H. N. Smith or the University of Alberta during a consultation I had with him in August,l93',regarding a suitable subject for a thesis. Dr. Smith proposed that a longitudinal study be made from Crade V1 to Grade X11, inclusive,for the purpose of estimating the increasing richness of language concepts during this period. As a method, he suggested that a set of key words be selected from some subject in which the investigator might be particularly interested,these words to serve as a basis for the investigation. Owing to the fact that my teaching has been confined chiefly to the Science subjects I made a selection from words used in General Science.
