Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Opportunities for Teachers In view of the increasing interest in the improvement of secondary education and the introduction of the elements of physical and natural science into the secondary schools, it is the wish of the Faculty of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to extend as far as possible to those actually engaged in teaching the advantages which the central location of the Institute, its highly organized laboratories, and its large corps of instructors offer to persons living in or near Boston. It has not been thought expedient for this purpose, however, to offer to teachers disconnected courses of lectures without other requirements than attendance. In order to acquire the spirit of modern scientific work, as well as its methods and subject-matter, much more is necessary. The teacher, like any other student, must undertake a well-defined and carefully-prescribed course. He should begin at the beginning, and so far as he goes should do thorough, accurate, connected work. He should attend regularly, study systematically, and from time to time submit his attainments to the test of examination. The marked success of those teachers who have followed the courses prescribed for the regular students of the Institute has induced the Faculty to consider what special opportunities may reasonably be extended to teachers who are unable to undertake the full courses required for a degree. Two classes of teachers have been kept especially in view in the preparation of this circular. These are: - First: Those who can obtain a definite leave of absence for one year. The work of the Institute is so arranged that a person of mature mind and good previous training may in that time cover a considerable portion of the elementary scientific work in any one of several departments. The departments in which one-year courses may thus be taken with the best results are those of chemistry, physics, geology, and biology.
