Average age of the children, twelve years.]Three hours a week are given to history in half-hour periods, two of these periods being study hours-The work in general has been the same as for GroupVIII, but more connected thought expected and morepapers written. With this group Borne the Middle ofthe World, by Alice Gardner, was used for supplementary reading. This group went further thanGroup VIII, and took up briefly the conditions whichbrought about the downfall of Rome, the establishment of the barbarians, the beginning of nations, therise of the papacy, and the revolution of Luther asmovements in Europe. The discovery of gunpowder,which changed warfare ; of printing, which disseminated knowledge ; and of the compass, which madenavigation safer, were made the chief points of connection with the discovery of America. These were simplymentioned at the end of the course, as the childrenhad not had the intervening history, and could only takethem as statements. With the Winter Quarter theybegan the history of America, along the same generallines as Group VIII — beginning with the section ofcountry with which they are most familiar.In reporting on the science work, selections havebeen made from the records of two or three childrento show what they did in a general summing up ofthe subject on which they had been at work for tenweeks — two and one half hour periods each weekand one period of a half hour, called the " study hour."Records were written of each experiment when finished ; then, when the subject was completed, theserecords were " pieced together " to form a connectedstory of the formation of calcareous and sedimentaryrocks in detail and of land in general. Different children did this in different ways. Two examples aregiven — with many omissions for lack of space.THE STORY OF HOW LIMESTONE WAS MADE.The first experiment tells how we made calciumcarbonate — at first in the form of precipitated chalk.First we took hydrochloric acid and ground lime andwater and mixed them and heated them until theacid was gone, and then filtered and added ammoniumcarbonate and filtered the solution. Then washedthe chalk off the filter paper. ** Other ways in which they made this chalk were by precipitating it from lime water, (1) by blowing in carbondioxide from their mouths, (2) by passing carbon dioxidegenerated from marble into the lime water, (3) by lettinglime water stand in the air to show absorption of carbondioxide from the air.334 UNIVERSITY RECORDThe next experiment is to find out how plaster isaffected with acid in its different ages. I took threetest tubes and put old plaster (three years) in one,new piaster (twenty-four hours old) in a second, andnew lime in the third. Then I put some dilute hydrochloric acid on them all. I took a burning splinterand put it into the tube with the old plaster and itwent right out. Then I put a burning splinter intothe test tube of the new plaster and it went outalmost as soon as the old plaster, and so that showsthat there was carbon dioxide in a little less quantity.Then I put the burning splinter in the gas above thelime and it burned a minute ; so that shows that carbon dioxide was not strong enough and not enough toput the splinter out at first. In the old hard plasterthe plaster has absorbed the carbon dioxide from theair, and that is what makes so much carbon dioxidecome off from the plaster.This is the story of the three different ways of making calcium carbonate.1. Limestone is the shells of little animals, and theanimals get calcium carbonate out of the water, andthe water gets it from the rocks. When the earthwas cold enough to condense the water, with the helpof carbon dioxide, pulls the calcium out of the rocksto a large body of water where the little animals couldget it.2. Calcium carbonate comes from all little animalsthat have shells. Coral, having such a great manylittle animals, so that when they die there is a greatdeal of calcium carbonate left by the skeletons.3. The other way of making calcium carbonate is incaves. The water leaks through and leaves calciumcarbonate in the form of crystals.Marble is calcium carbonate under great pressureand some heat.The next experiment is to find out if there is calcium in lava. *I took some lava and put on some hydrochloric acid(strong). There was no action that could be seenexcept when I heated it, and then a vapor came off. tWhen I evaporated it it left a little bit of dark stuffin the bottom so that shows that there was someaction and the acid did take something out of thelava. Then I let it stand for a few days. After I letit stand I rubbed a small piece of filter paper on thebottom of the test tube. The dark stuff had absorbedsome moisture. Then I heated it until it turned to adark red color — which I don't know anything about —but the dark stuff absorbing moisture shows some ofthe dark stuff on the bottom of the test tube was calcium.**Extract from another child's statement :A long time ago when the earth was new, when itwas lava, there was no water on the earth, and therewas steam all round the earth up in the air, as there* The children used the word "lava" to mean igneous rockbefore it had weathered. They used in their experimentslava from Hawaiian volcanoes.f When this work was done one or two of the class heatedhydrochloric acid without any lava in it and found thesame vapor came off as in treating la^a.** They had made calcium chloride and seen it dissolve in thewater absorbed from air. were many gases in the air. One of them was carbondioxide. The steam became clouds, because the earthbegan to cool off, and after a while it began to rain,and the water came down and dissolved the carbondioxide from the air. When the earth was cooling offcalcium was in the rock lava. The water ran downin the rocks, and the carbon dioxide takes the calciumout of the rocks and makes calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate dissolved in the water. The littleanimals eat the calcium carbonate and make theirshells — corals, snails, oysters, etc. These shells arepressed down by other shells, and at last they are allmade into limestone.Another child in the group put her experiments together as chapters of a continuous story, with headings and notes to her records and experiments. Thewhole was prefaced by a general introduction.THE WAY MEN MAKE USE OF BURNED LIMESTONE (LIME).In plaster that has stood for a good many years thecarbon dioxide has been united with the lime to formcalcium carbonate. The calcium carbonate keeps theburned limestone (lime) together, so that it will bethick enough to be used. Otherwise lime would begood for nothing in making plaster.Extract from another child's paper :When the earth was very hot the calcium was withthe other metals in the earth. The carbon dioxidewas a gas the same as water was. When the earthcooled calcium was in the rocks. Then the carbondioxide and water united and formed a solution, andas it ran it tore out the calcium and carried it on tothe sea, where there were little animals who took itout of solution. After a long time the animals diedand their skeletons were left, and then we gather theirskeletons, so this is how calcium carbonate is made.In passing down the mountain side the water evaporated and left the calcium carbonate on some rocksor caves undisturbed till we get it.Besides these and many other experiments the classhas had discussions, and readings from Scott and Danaon the formation of the other sedimentary rocks thatgo with the limestone, such as slates, flint, and claybeds. They have taken up the mechanical agencies informing land and changing its configuration, and havedrawn maps to show various points in land formationdependent upon geological conditions. The characterof a seacoast formed only by the action of thewater has been contrasted with one found where theland has been elevated — eroded by the agencies theyhave been discussing — and then has again subsided.The formation of river valleys and their relation tothe general slope of the land and to the formation ofthe land at their mouths was another point illustrated.Of the maps drawn, one located the ores and coal beds,another the different soils as shown by the differentproducts of agriculture and the stones used for building purposes.UNIVERSITY RECORD 335In discussing the nebular theory in their sciencework they came to the question why the moon cooledfaster than the earth. They knew from experimentsthat the rate of cooling depends upon the radiationfrom the surface, and therefore of the ratio of surfaceto mass. In number work they undertook to find thecubical contents of the earth. A sphere was held upbefore the class and they were asked if anyone knewhow to get its contents. All said no. Then they wereasked if they could cut it up into equal parts of whichthey could find the contents. Two thought of pyramids, the bases of which would be in the surface andthe apexes at the center of the sphere. They then setto work to find the surface of the sphere. They reasoned from their previous knowledge of getting surfacesof parallelograms that you multiply two distances together to get surface, and so they thought the samemust hold true with the surface of a sphere, and suggested that the diameter and circumference were theonly distances they had, and these would be the thingswhich, multiplied together, would give surface in asphere. This was the method taken. The childrenthen said they would cut up their sphere into pyramids whose bases they would imagine to be squaremiles and whose altitudes were the radius of the earth.The next step was to find the contents of a pyramid.To do this they cut out of paper a pyramid and a prismwith the same base and the same altitude, and filledthe pyramid with sand and emptied it into the prism.They found that the sand filled one third of the prism.Prom this they deduced the rule that to find the contents of a pyramid, multiply the base by one third thealtitude. Applying this rule to the pyramids in whichthey imagined the earth divided, they multiplied thebase (a square mile) by one third of the radius andthen by the number of pyramids in the surface. Theresult was the cubical contents of the earth.After finishing this they worked out in the sameway the mass of the moon — then, for practice, themass of an orange.In Latin a number of stories have been given, and agood deal of grammar work done. All work is conducted in the same manner as with Group VIII —the children first becoming familiar with the sound ofthe Latin words before they are written, and with themeaning by illustration, action, or context, beforetranslating. They have begun to memorize an odefrom Catullus, reciting it rhythmically.In cooking and sewing, the members of the grouphave done the same work as reported for Groups VIIand VIII. In Manual Training they have made wandsfor the gymnasium, a spindle and distaff for spinning,building blocks to illustrate various forms of archi tecture, hand mirrors and stamp boxes for their ownuse, or as presents.In French they have learned to tell what they aredoing when preparing to sew, to make a box of wood,or to make candy. They are becoming familiar withall the words of household occupations in order thatthey may converse in French easily while carrying onthese occupations in the school. From time to timesome poetry is memorized, and recited before theolder groups.The members of this group take general charge ofthe school paper, which is read before the wholeschool on the last fifteen minutes of the morning session on Tuesdays, the editor (or in his absence theassistant editor) presiding on this occasion.In music, besides the drill in writing and readingmusic, the following song has been produced, whichhas been learned by most of the younger groups.'Twas in a small log cabinOne February day,A little Lincoln babyIn a small, rude cradle lay.When at the age of twelveBy night he studied law,And when the morning dawned anew,Again took up his saw.He rose to be a statesmanOf very great renown,His wisdom saved the Union,And slavery he put down.'Twas in the spring of sixty-fiveThat messengers rode fastTo bring the news of Lincoln's death.The noble life had passed.In art work a member of the group has posed infancy costume as a model for the rest.Current Events.Rev.
