A Comprehensive Study Of The Elementary School Districts Comprising The Orland, California, Joint Union High School District, Charles K. Price

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The State of California has for some time been con- fronted with the great number of school districts, each an independent political division. In the past, several attempts have been made to enlarge these existing districts through consolidation or unionization, and provisions have been made in the school code whereby districts may consolidate. So far, little progress has been made. California, like many other states, has inherited the Now England tradition of the district school. This is the chief reason why she has to many school districts.

Education Of The American Indian By The United States, Florence Barbee Lundquist

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

But for the Rennaisance there would be no atory of the Indians in these United States. Our American poet, Joaquin Miller, makes clear the hazards of adventurers incident to the discovery of an unknown people: My men grow mutinous day by day; My men grow ghastly wan and weak. The stout mate thought of home; a spray Of Balt wave washed his swarthy cheek. "What shall I say, • brave Admiral, say, If we sight naught but seas at dawn?" "Why you shall, say at break of day, Sail on! Sail on.

Football Injuries At The College Of The Pacific 1924 To 1933, Robert L. Breeden

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The interest in football injuries has increased with the increased enthusiasm for the sport. The coach is finding it more and more important to have all of his players in the best possible condition to withstand the terrific strain under which they must compete. The public wants to see a well played, exciting game, but the days of brutality seem to be vanishing. The average fan would rather see the best players play in the game than to have them sit on the bench in plaster casts.

This has led to a series of quite wide-spread investigations dealing with the …

An Experiment In Supervision By The Conference Method, Wendell R. Hoar

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The aspect of supervision that is particularly challenging to me is the problem of the present day. Our curricula have been so constructed, interpreted and planned that a high degree of integration and correlation should result, both vertically and horizontally. To realize these aims, teachers must have a great many conferences, both in groups and individually with the supervisor, who is usually the principle of the school

The conferences are needed not only to discuss the possibilities of integration and correlation, but to teach many of the teachers methods, objectives, devices, and projects for teaching the modern courses of studies …

Handbook On Teacher Reading In Junior And Senior High School, Reba Galvin Mack

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Two thousand high school students in Wisconsin were tested recently in reading; one-third of them tested as sixth grade or below in reading ability.¹ One of the most difficult problems confronting the schools of America today is "How shall we make good readers of our students?" That no educators are satisfied with the reading accomplishments in our schools is attested by the great number of articles on reading that appear in current periodicals and educational journals and by the increasing number of books on reading that are being published. So great is the flood on technical treatises on the …

This thesis is the result of research to discover the beginnings of music in our public institutions of learning, to trace those forces which have been instrumental in its growth, and to consider the present status of music education in the schools of California.

The Early History Of Tuolumne County, California, Frank C. Coates

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The youth of America should be acquainted with the history, the development and the ideals of our nation. They should know under what conditions our nation had its birth; what problems have beset it; and how they have been solved. The should know something of our present problems, and such knowledge can be built only upon an understanding of the past. They should know the facts of our nation's history, of which they should be proud.

Not only is this true of our nation, but it is as true of our state and our immediate locality. It has been my …
