THE TEACHING OF BIOLOGY


 in writing and speaking. All reports should be founded
 on interest, both of the reporter and his audience.
4. Programs. These should be of great variety. Among
 the types are panel discussions, dramas, songs, outside lec-
 tures in the classroom, assembly programs by class or club.
5. Clubs. The Biology Club differs from the biology class
 chiefly in the following respects:
 (a) It is organized and conducted by students. The
 teacher is primarily the sponsor, and should not
 project himself unduly into the club's activities.
 (b) Membership should be voluntary with rules for ad-
 mission worked out by students. Standards of activ-
 ity for maintaining membership are advisable.
 (c) Programs should differ decidedly from a class recita-
 tion. Bulletins of Science Clubs of America (Wash-
 ington, D. C.), offer many suggestions for club pro-
 grams.
 (d) If time outside of class is not available, use a regular
 class period for each club meeting.
 (e) The club should affiliate with the State's Junior
 Academy of Sciences. One of the major projects of
 the club should be the participation, by selected stu-
 dents, in the annual programs of the Junior Academy
 of Sciences. Information concerning the Junior
 Academy may be obtained from the Librarian, State
 Academy of Sciences Library, Biology Building,
 University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida.
 (f) The club should affiliate with Science Clubs of
 America, 1719 N. Street, N. W., Washington 6,
