Relationship Between Training Programs Being Offered In State And Federal Penal Institutions And The Unfilled Job Openings In The Major Occupations In The United States, John Thomas Torrence
Relationship Between Training Programs Being Offered In State And Federal Penal Institutions And The Unfilled Job Openings In The Major Occupations In The United States, John Thomas Torrence
Electronic Theses & Dissertations
The principal hypothesis of this study was that training programs in penal institutions were not related to unfilled job openings by major occupations in the United States. It was further hypothesized that training programs being reported would have a wide variety of titles rather than follow the Dictionary of Occupational Titles format. The design for this study was the questionnaire-survey method, since the scope of the research entailed a wide geographic area. A transmittal letter was compiled, as well as a check sheet which listed training areas being offered by the Bureau of Prisons, U.S. Department of Justice. Questionnaires were …

An attempt was made to encourage drafting supervisors of Arizona’s industries to point out areas in which beginning draftsmen were weak and in need of improved instruction. These supervisors were also encouraged to express their views on possible methods for correcting these weaknesses that might exist. Sixty-eight firms participated in the study. The study revealed a need for improvement in most of the areas of basic drafting practices. The best method recommended by these firms for keeping drafting instructors up-to-date and in line with industry was through summer workshops of one or two weeks in length carried out in various …

A Normative Study Of Some Developmental Aspects Of The Human Figure Drawings Of Children, Bessie M. Whitehead
A Normative Study Of Some Developmental Aspects Of The Human Figure Drawings Of Children, Bessie M. Whitehead
Electronic Theses & Dissertations
For many years there has been much interest in the use of human figure drawings as a projective technique for diagnostic use with the mentally ill. Psychiatric implications are attributed to practically every possible characteristic exhibited in the human figure, but until recently, little has been done toward establishing standards or norms describing objectively how various groups in the population actually perform when asked to draw a person. A clinician had no ruler by which to measure the performance of his client. He had no standard by which he could decide that the behavior exhibited was usual or abnormal for …
A Study Of The In-Plant Training Programs In Kansas, Charles A. Campbell
A Study Of The In-Plant Training Programs In Kansas, Charles A. Campbell
Electronic Theses & Dissertations
This study has been made for the purpose of gaining general knowledge and understanding of the industrial in-plant training programs in Kansas. Information gathered concerning Kansas industrial training programs was obtained by the use of a questionnaire sent to one hundred Kansas industries. It was found there is a very wide range of in-plant training programs operated by the various industries. Each plant, due to its nature of work, was responsible for this variation in training programs. Of the eight basic training programs set up by this study, on-the-job training was most used by the companies contacted.

Reading Materials Appropriate For Seventh And Eighth Grade Ability Groups, Fern Murray Claycomb
Reading Materials Appropriate For Seventh And Eighth Grade Ability Groups, Fern Murray Claycomb
Electronic Theses & Dissertations
Democratic society is committed to the program of educating all children of all the people regardless of their intellectual level. Every child would be educated to develop his fullest capabilities so that he can live a happy, useful life. This does not mean that the educational system can educate all by the same methods or to the same levels of achievement. Through appropriate education, however, even those at the lower level can be aided. The problem is to select printed reading materials which may be appropriate for use in teaching reading to seventh and eighth grade students who are divided …

Electronic Theses & Dissertations
The purpose of this study is to determine if any of these four factors (intelligence quotient, mental age, chronological age, and arithmetical ability) are valid measures for prognosticating success in first-year bookkeeping. The bookkeeping students for three consecutive years (1950-51, 1951-52, 1952-53) were grouped together and their achievement in relation to IQ, CA and MA was compared to the achievement of the 1953-54 bookkeeping students through use of scattergrams, by percentages for the entire group and percentages by classification (sophomore, junior and senior). The 1953-54 bookkeeping students were given the Hundred-Problem Arithmetic Test and their probable bookkeeping success in relation …

A Book List Suitable For Primary Grades, Virginia Allene Sandy
A Book List Suitable For Primary Grades, Virginia Allene Sandy
Electronic Theses & Dissertations
Modern reading experts believe that the fundamental goal of a good reading program is to instill in today's children a love of reading. One basic requisite of the primary reading program is ta wide variety of easy reading material that a child can read and enjoy freely and naturally just as an adult does. Interesting, attractive books are provided in abundance for young readers by the publishers of children's books. However, there is a great deal of evidence to show that many of these books are introduced from one to three years before the average student has the background experience …

The Organization Of A Functional Library For The Mound City, Kansas, High School, John L. Carmichael
The Organization Of A Functional Library For The Mound City, Kansas, High School, John L. Carmichael
Electronic Theses & Dissertations
The nature of the educative process widespread throughout the United States, with its emphasis upon textbooks and uniform learning, has tended to make the school library appear as an extra rather than an essential. Consequently, money has been spent on the library only with left over from other departments. Many teachers encouraged the pupil to use the library solely for leisure reading or for some other information if, or sometimes after, lessons were done. Administration in many schools have not been educational leaders. They have stood by and have been unaffected by controversies over teaching methods and materials to be …
