Abstract
In this age of science and materialism there is not in the writers opinion, a more enriching course in our high schools as is a well balanced, well organized course in general science! It is enriching because, if taught well, it functions in the lives of the learners, it bridges the gap between the life of the learner and his environment.
The writer feels that the work in general science is of great importance and is worthy of the best thought of those responsible for the details of the courses in this subject in the junior high school. In spite of the great advances that have been made in the general science courses as given in the past, in the high schools of the country, much constructive work yet needs to be done.
That the junior high school age is the best age in which such a course ought to be stressed will be brought out in the course of the thesis.
