Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Investigation Into the Growth of Language Concepts in Science of Bellevue Intermediate and High School Students, 1937
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.
