Achievement Of Pupils At Upper Grade Levels In Russell County, Kansas, Lawrence C. Dillon
Achievement Of Pupils At Upper Grade Levels In Russell County, Kansas, Lawrence C. Dillon
Master's Theses
The use of tests and measurements has been fascinating to the writer through several years of school experience. How much pupils learn, whether they measure up to other pupils and in what fields of knowledge they excel have been questions to which the answers were always interesting. Therefore, when it became a possibility to use results of a state-wide testing program as thesis material it was at once accepted. The work has been interesting and the findings justify the labor involved, in the opinion of the writer.

Religious And Educational Contributions Of German-Russians To The Development Of Rush And Ellis Counties, Kansas, Alex G. Stremel

The Relationship Of Reading And Spelling Ability At Various School Levels, Robert C. Richards
The Relationship Of Reading And Spelling Ability At Various School Levels, Robert C. Richards
Master's Theses
Current emphasis in spelling and reading appears to be on the unitary nature of the child's development especially in relation to the language arts. While the writer is interested in the analysis of reading abilities and spelling ability in order to determine the fundamental language abilities common to both skills, the specific problem of this investigation is to, "discover the consistency of the relationship of spelling and reading abilities of pupils from the fifth grade through the ninth grade inclusive". This relationship refers to the linear correlation relationship derived from the use of standardized tests. The particular phases of the …
The Kansas Court Of Industrial Relations, Jack W. Rodgers
The Kansas Court Of Industrial Relations, Jack W. Rodgers
Master's Theses
The Kansas Industrial Court Act has the distinction of being the only one of its kind ever passed. The things it attempted to do had never been done before in just the same way, nor have they ever since been imitated. But, to many people, there had been previous experiments closely resembling the Kansas act of 1920. They pointed to various acts passed in the latter part of the 19th. century, and the early part of the 20th, in such places as New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and even in parts of the United States as being forerunners of the Kansas …

Studies Of Increment, Height-Weight, And Moisture Content Of Important Western Kansas Grasses., John Launchbaugh
Master's Theses
A logical approach to the question of how much forage is taken by livestock would be, it seems, to study first the growth habits of the important species of p:i.sture and range grasses in the areas where they are used. The purpose of this report, therefore, was to stud y the development of several species of perennial grasses in the mixed prairie of west-central Kamas from near the beginning of the grazing season until the grasses had reached maturity.
The Ecology Of A Pasture In The Dakota Sandstone Formation In Ellsworth County, Kansas, Byron O. Blair
The Ecology Of A Pasture In The Dakota Sandstone Formation In Ellsworth County, Kansas, Byron O. Blair
Master's Theses
The vast area of prairie of the United States has long been known as the "feeding grounds" for herbivorous animals. In the past, the standard of living of the people of grassland regions has been measured largely by the ability of the native ranges to produce ·vegetation sufficient to maintain economical livestock production. It has become apparent that if our desired living standard is to be maintained, we must direct our efforts toward a program by the most rapid and efficient means possible, which will bring economic stability to the seventeen million acres of grassland in the Great Plains region. …
Physical Properities Of Ellis County Adobe, William G. Read
Physical Properities Of Ellis County Adobe, William G. Read
Master's Theses
Houses made of soil have been built for centuries, but until recently the trend had been away from soil to some other building material . Now, however, adobe is again beginning to be recognized as a satisfactory, reliable building material for our time . Recently, especially in the southwestern part of the United States, a surprising number of dwellers have turned again to earth for their building material. They are following in the footsteps of the early settlers, who constructed many missions and other buildings from sun-dried earth. Many of these buildings, although aged, are still in use or may …

Thus it was decided to design and execute a life-sized habitat depicting the ecological relationship s found between the …

Child Labor In Kansas., William H. Cape
Child Labor In Kansas., William H. Cape
Master's Theses
The problem of child labor in Kansas is being recognized more and more by the people and by the legislature . Child labor has never assumed formidable proportions in this state, however young people need protection regardless of the number employed. This particular age group has never been a great employment problem, perhaps the principal reason being t hat Kansas is primarily an agricultural state . The possibilities that t he stat e will become an industrial and manufacturing 'stat e are excellent and such a change would, no doubt, bring an increase in the number of children employed unless …
