17、d program of educational research. Such a program would improve teaching theory and technique. It would also make clear what competencies are required of a good teacher as well as help professors attain them. Educational research should be required to meet the same standards as scientific research,
18、but it cannot be raised to those standards without comparable support and duty. Competent educational research is no more a part-time activity than competent scientific research. The relatively trivial (琐碎的 ) educational research so common in the universities is an inseparable result of trivial duti
19、es by the universities. Rather than look down upon such research, the professors have an obligation to see that it is upgraded. Let no one think that educational research is easy; it is concerned with no less than solving the complexities of the human mind. There is no reason to believe that an effe

25、ng played a vital role in the change of the American economy from one in which most goods were produced and sold locally to one developed mainly by brand names and products sold nationally. Before the 1880s, most advertisements consisted entirely of print. The print itself was primarily informationa
26、l: it described the product and where it could be achieved. The few images that ads contained were highly stylized. Very few ads featured slogans (口号，标语 ) or brand names.
