All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Physical education has made unusually rapid progress during the past 50 years. Emphasis has deviated from absolute academic objectives to those permitting a well rounded educational program including the physical aspect. Physical education has been influenced by educational, spiritual, political, and social conditions.

As a result of these influences, the necessity of developing the physical has assumed major proportions. There is now a greater demand for physical education than ever before in the history of our country. For the welfare of not only the individual, but also to the state and nation, it is essential that an extremely high degree …

A Study Of The Changes Of Personality, Attitudes, And Speech Problems Of An Adult Stutterer While Undergoing Speech Therapy, Halvor P. Hansen

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

There are more than one million stutterers in the United States today, no less than 350,000 of whom are public school children (21). Rogers (22) estimated that the number of stuttering children in the United States is five times as many as the combined numbers of blind and deaf children. The incidence of stuttering is around one percent of the population (2,6,20). Around 20,000 stutterers are added to the number annually each year (13). Stutterers have been helped by many different methods of treatment based on many conflicting theories and therapies.

A Cyto-Taxonomic Study Of The Genus Geranium Within The Wasatch Region, Richard J. Shaw

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The western North American species of the genus Geranium have never been satisfactorily clarified. The perennial, indigenous species of this interesting group have been particularly confusing. One important reason for confusion in this group is the fact that the taxonomic problems of the perennial species have never been studied from the genetic point of view. A sound delimitation of specific and subspecific boundaries and phylogenetic relationships cannot be achieved without the application of cyto-genetic principles.

In respect to the cytological phase of this study, the author has placed emphasis on chromosome numbers in order to show evidences for and possible …

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Many articles and textbooks which have recently been written in the field of speech correction indicate that a high percent of all children who have speech defects also have a hearing deficiency.

The Isolation Of Some Nonsymbiotic Nitrogen Fixing Organisms Occurring In Some Utah Soils, Richard B. Johnson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Plants require ten elements in appreciable quantity and several others in smaller amount for their continued and normal growth. Three of these necessary elements, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are most important because they occur in the soil in quantities which are usually small in proportion to that needed by the plants. Of these three, nitrogen is in most cases the limiting factor because of the ease with which it may be leached from the soil and comparatively large amount assimilated by plants. These factors coupled with the inhibiting high cost of artificially replacing it in the form of commercial fertilizers, …
