The findings indicated …

Is the math of the United States inferior? In 1967 there was an international study of mathematics comparing twelve different countries: United States, Japan, Australia, Belgium, England, Finland, France, Germany, Israel, The Netherlands, Scotland, and Sweden. Funded in part by the United States Office of Education and five years in the making, the report was based on a test given to 133,000 students in different countries at the age of thirteen and at the end of high school.

Modern Breakthroughs And Forecasts In Education, Susan Ann Todd

Honors Theses

In September, 1957, many Americans pictured Russia as a vast slum composed largely of baggy-trousered peasants who couldn't make a decent refrigerator or automobile. On October 4, 1957, when the Russians placed the first man-made hardware in orbit around the earth, this illusion exploded into bleak reality.

The American people were staggered. The Eisenhower administration was in serious trouble--but not for long. Within weeks the nation was given to understand that the school teachers were to blame. America had fallen behind because John Dewey's fuzzy-minded disciples had failed to teach children enough science. Suddenly, American secondary education became our national …

A Program For Children: Creative Dramatics, Patsy Hill

Honors Theses

A child needs beauty and love every bit as much as he needs food and exercise. He needs quiet just as he needs laughter and shouting. He needs to be alone just as he needs to be with others. He needs to work as well as to play. All components of growth are equally important if he is to develop a wholeness of personality. For a child to live is quite a different thing than for him to exist. He needs to be guided in his growing so he reaches for his best. He needs to find his way to …

Is Religion Banned From Our Schools?, Susan Ann Todd

Honors Theses

Three hundred years ago Anglo-American teaching was done chiefly by the church. In early days English and American education was, in the main, created and sustained, inspired and controlled, by religious groups. But, today, in the greater part of the Protestant world, at least, education is secular. The school has been, or is being, cut off from the church. With the exception of some "private" schools and colleges it has been taken over by another social institution. What institution is that?

There can be no doubt that, with conscious intention or without it, Anglo-American Protestant civilization has drifted into an …

Drug Addiction In Youth: The High School And College Level, Shirley Anne Percy

Honors Theses

In a world undergoing enormous transitions, where familial and social supports are eroding and established beliefs are gradually being demolished, it is natural that many will try to modify their awareness--to ease the uncertainties of the day, to avoid psychic pain, to achieve pleasure, to find faith. The old gods falter; the old goals seem pointless. What is left but to chemically dull the senses or, alternatively, create new illustions, new utopian worlds? So it has been in every period of stress; so it is today.

Man changes his world enormously but himself minimally. He has created instant news, transportation …

Where Are We Going?, Tricia Weeks

Honors Theses

Today's society requires more improved skills and more advanced education in order to succeed as a member of the society and as an individual. The problem of providing education and specialized skills belongs to the nation's schools. Many students, however, find the struggle for an education too difficult and resolve that immediate problem by dropping out of school. Dropping out indicates the student's unwillingness or incapacity to absorb society's more refined tools and knowledge. From this point on, the climb out of the lower socio-economic class is relatively impossible.

The term "dropout" generally refers to pupils who leave school before …
