The Adjustment Of Eighty Correspondence Club Members As Indicated By Two Adjustment Inventories, Maurice R. Seaquist

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

It is the purpose of the present thesis to determine the adjustment of a sampling of correspondence club members. The hypothesis is that the social adjustment of these individuals is inferior to that of the individuals used in two personality inventories. In addition, answers to these questions are sought:

1. Is there a common need or problem that motivates these men and women to seek companionship through correspondence agencies?
2. What is their age, sex, cultural and geographical background?
3. What are the physical qualities and economic status of the members and what qualities and status are they seeking in the members they …

A Study Of Frustration Tolerance In Handicapped Children, Barbara Ellen Bower

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

What is adjustment? There are almost as many ways of defining it as there are ways of achieving it. To anwer the question one must first try to find the common factor of the varied definitions of adjustment. Sheviakov and Friedberg in their report of the Eight Year Study say, Desirable adjustment was thought of, generally as a process of maturation and adaptation, during which the individual is able to integrate successfully (i.e., without neurotic compromises or delinquent episodes) his primitive impulses and drives with those expectations or demands which are imposed upon him (with reference to his age, sex, …

Master's Theses

This study of juvenile delinquency contains 184 cases and covers a period of 57 years, from 1881 to 1938 . The case history of each delinquent was secured from the State Industrial School for Boys at Topeka, Kansas, The State Industrial School for Girls at Beloit, Kansas, and the State Industrial Reformatory at Hutchinson, Kansas. The institutional records also contained the parole reports. The boys were located, their present occupation determined, and their school and church records determined where possible. As there are no records in the probate court concerning the cases, the writer was compelled to compile the records …

The Public Life And Achievements Of James Duval Phelan, Jean Tully

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

As a figure in the American period of California history, Mr. James D. Phelan's achievements were an outstanding example of what an honest man can do in politics. First of all, I have endeavored to show his contributions to the city of San Francisco. There is hardly any field of San Francisco life in which James D. Phelan did not leave a tremendous influence. The politics of his term as mayor were a shining model of clean and progressive measures.

As senator he kept the interest of California at heart. Through his work at the World's Columbian Exposition, he made …

A History Of Radical Political Movements In Kansas, O. D. Mcclellan

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

Perhaps no state has had, in such a short period of its history, a more colorful series of radical political movements and personalities than Kansas. A number of writers, each taking a single movement, have written in this field. This writer has attempted, as his contribution, to bring these movements up to date, therefore, this is a survey of the major radical movements in Kansas and especially of that movement which brought into political prominence Dr. John R. Brinkley. What were the causes and results of these movements? Were they brought about by agitators or was agitation a result of …

The Children's Theatre, Marcella Dolan

Bachelors’ Theses

All normal children are hungry for beauty, and they take delight in seeing their instincts represented on the stage. Too often in the past the mistake has been made of writing and playing down to the children. Their imaginative lives have a dignity of which they are keenly aware, and they resent quite naturally and properly any condescension. In child entertainment it is hard to realize how little is being accomplished, particularly in the field of drama. In education it is probably necessary to start early in order to develop the fever tastes and it is a gradual and arduous …

Housing Conditions In Worcester, Harry L. Jackson

Historical Dissertations & Theses

The physical basis of the home, the dwelling-place of the family, is inseparably bound up with and affects to a marked degree the standard of the home. If we are at all interested in the present and future welfare of our city it is highly essential that we know what the housing conditions in Worcester are in view of the close relation between home and community.

We must admit that the citizens here as a whole have given the all-important subject of housing very little attention. One must not therefore infer that we have no housing problem. Every American city …

A Swedish Population Of Worcester: A Study In Social Survey, Karl J. Karlson

Historical Dissertations & Theses

This paper is not going to be an historical sketch of the growth and development of the population, but instead a description of the status quo of an industrial, peace-loving, and law-abiding Swedish settlement. The material for this thesis has been gathered from statistics of churches and societies, in personal interviews with prominent men who has been closely associated with the Swedish people for a great many years, and from personal observation and investigation. It is needless to say, I think, that I shall present the facts as I have found them and be as impartial as anybody possibly can.
