A Study Of The Educational Leave Program Of The Tennessee Department Of Public Welfare, Joseph Isaac Nicholson
A Study Of The Educational Leave Program Of The Tennessee Department Of Public Welfare, Joseph Isaac Nicholson
Masters Theses
(From the Conclusions)
The administration of Public Assistance and child welfare services requires considerable skill, knowledge, and understanding. Public welfare agencies recognized from the beginning the need for trained personnel. Now and in the future it will be difficult to hire sufficient trained social workers without the stimulation of a program such as educational leave. Social work as a profession is young and the schools of social work are not producing enough trained persons to take care of replacements due to death, marriage, etc., and at the same time increase the number of trained persons available.

A Comparison Of The Real Price And Market Price Of Some Common Metals, Kon-Hock Khaw
Masters Theses
"A number of complex factors influence the fluctuation of the price of a metal. In this investigation, the writer is concerned with the influence of the purchasing power of the dollar and, therefore the difference between the value (real price) and market price of nine metals. That is, this is a study of metal prices and their corresponding values. No attempt is made to analyze the supply and demand of the past or the future, except as they are expressed by their function -- price.
To aid in the comparison, a set of index numbers for metals is compiled and …

A Comparison Of Appraisals Of Residential Properties For Lending Purposes With County And City Assessments Of Identical Properties In Knoxville, Tennessee, 1950, Lawrence O. Ransom
A Comparison Of Appraisals Of Residential Properties For Lending Purposes With County And City Assessments Of Identical Properties In Knoxville, Tennessee, 1950, Lawrence O. Ransom
Masters Theses
(From Justification of the Study)
This study is different from the typical "assessment" study. It is what may be termed a "multiple" comparison of assessments because two assessment ratios are compared with each other, and the assessment ratios are also compared with appraisal ratios made for purposes other than taxation. The study may reveal the inherent variations in any evaluation job. Specifically, do appraisers for lending purposes also under- or over-value property (as assessors are accused of doing) in relation to sales price because of geographic area or because of high or low market value?
It is hoped and believed …

A Proposed Program For The Veterans’ Institute At Dowagiac, Michigan, Harold E. Telfer
Masters Theses
Chapter I
Introduction
The close of World War II and the return to civilian life of its large number of young men and women veterans has been a period of rapid adjustments. A large number of these adjustments have been facilitated, or at least affected, by the legislative provisions of the national government. These provisions, in turn, have been affected by the applications made of them by local communities and their agencies. One example of the local application of the aims of the veterans' benefit laws is the Veterans' Institute jointly sponsored in Dowagiac, Michigan, by the Cass Country Veterans' …

Tobacco In East Tennessee, Elsie Taylor Bird

The Effect Of Pittman Center On The Community Life, Russell Hall
The Effect Of Pittman Center On The Community Life, Russell Hall
Masters Theses
It can be said very definitely that the school has done a good work of the conventional type in the educational field. It has, without a doubt, changed the moral and religious life of the people for the better. It is furnishing some needed recreation for the young people. It is also doing good work in the medical care and prevention of disease. All of these enterprises are handicapped, however, by the great economic problem which has not been solved and has hardly been attacked.

The Social And Economic Effects Produced Upon Small Towns By Rapid Industrialization, John Fred Holly
Masters Theses
Introduction: The introduction of an industry into rural areas or small towns, unless they are mill centers, and the absorption of rural peoples into these industries involve many changes of social and economic significance. The shift from an agricultural to an industrial economy has by its very nature many consequences. This study is an attempt to measure, as far as is possible, the effects of such changes.
The City of Elizabethton, Tennessee underwent a very rapid change beginning in 1925 when the American Bemberg Corporation located a rayon establishment there. With the shift of economy many significant changes occurred. Therefore, …
Religious Education In Prisons, John L. Gwin
Religious Education In Prisons, John L. Gwin
Masters Theses
The problem of crime is one of growing importance, and every means available should be used to reform and train the prisoner so that when he leaves the penitentiary he will go out and become a useful member of society. The average age of American prisoners is nineteen years. This means that after a few years most of our prisoners will re-enter society, and certainly it must be possible to do much to help these young people to readjust themselves to our social order.

The Life Of William Carroll, Margaret Leonard Walker
The Life Of William Carroll, Margaret Leonard Walker
Masters Theses
PREFACE: Until recent years almost nothing had been written about William Carroll although he was governor of Tennessee for a greater length of time than any other man and is one of Tennessee's commanding figures. He participated in and was a leading figure in two of the most remarkable achievements in military history: the victory of Horseshoe Bend, and the victory of New Orleans.
Not all the interesting events of Carroll's life have yet been placed before the public; both his character and attainments have been neglected by the historians. It is in order to supply in a small measure …

The Psychology Of Memory, James Ernest Jackson
Masters Theses

County Jails In Tennessee: A Survey Of Forty-Five County Jails, Rollin Virginius Wilson
County Jails In Tennessee: A Survey Of Forty-Five County Jails, Rollin Virginius Wilson
Masters Theses
De Tocqueville has said, "The American county jail is the worst prison in the world." The system of county jails has grown up with little interest or attention on the part of the citizens of the state of Tennessee. Some have contended that any sort of prison is too good for the criminal, but the public does not realize that thousands who are innocent, are detained annually in these jails to await trial. Moreover, no man is guilty under the law until he is convicted in the courts.
The county jail, which creates one of our greatest social problems, can …
