The Political Thought Of José María Luis Mora, 1794-1850, Morris L. Simon

Latin American Studies ETDs

This work undertakes a study of some aspects of the thought of one man, Doctor José María Luis Mora, a Mexican liberal of the nineteenth century. Naturally, selection by the writer has narrowed considerably the scope of this study. Two factors have conditioned the choice of material from Dr. Mora's breadbasket of ideas: (1) its relevancy to the Mexico of Mora's day, and (2) its value in revealing Mora as a political thinker.

A Study Of The Effect Of Chronological Age On Reading Performance In The First, Second And Third Grades, Gale L. Fuller

Student Work

Reading, a complex psycho-physiological, thought-provoking process if concerned with the communication of ideas from writer to reader (16). In reading, one is not having first-hand experience with human events. Rather, he is having vicarious experiences by interpreting the written record of another person’s experience. Many skills and abilities; i.e., word recognition, drawing of inferences, the organization of ideas, comprehension of meaning, and a host of others, are involved in the reading process. However, reading does not involve these skills individually. They operate together in meaningful situations to serve one’s purpose.

Learning to read is a central concern of all children, …

Discrimination Of Manics And Depressives By The Projective Technique, Handwriting Analysis, Roscoe Sease Aull

Master's Theses

Graphology ia one of the oldest of psychological methods, but despite its long history it has not yet been established as an exact scientific technique. This existing situation is not so unique if we stop to consider that most other methods of personality analysis are not without flaws either. Perhaps when personality itself is better understood and consistently defined, graphology will be able to make more rapid advances. Conflict in the development of consistent graphological techniques is a main cause also in the struggle for scientific acceptance. Two major problems seem to face the graphologists today. The first is the …

A Regression Analysis Of Airline Cost., Jesse W. Proctor

Economics ETDs

This thesis is an attempt to determine what factors are responsible for airline cost. The question is important both in the formation of airline route structure and in the determination of fares. Some authorities maintain that the load of facto is almost the sole determination of airline costs. Others hold that the length of the flight is extremely important. The capacity of equipment, speed of plane, and extent to which equipment is utilized have also been considered important. Each of these factors affect airline route structure and some of them affect rate structure. This chapter will briefly review this controversy …

Juvenile Delinquency: Approaches And Treatment, Nancy Fischer

Senior Scholar Papers

One of the most critical problems facing the American nation today is the delinquency of its children and adolescents. It is questlonable whether there is a greater problem today than in the past. The problem has been brought out in the open now through the action of our law enforcement agencies and social service organisation, while in earlier times few statistics were available concerning delinquency. Even today, many deliquent children escape the attention of the law or are in such a favorable situation in the community that their misdemeanore are passed by. Dr. Paul Tappan states: "All, or at least …

The European Defense Community, Robert H. Alfandary

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

In 1945 it was a common belief that World War II had just been fought to successful completion. The German and Japanese Empires were vanquished, with Germany destroyed more thoroughly than any of the countries she had occupied. The two large remaining powers, the United States and the Soviet Union, seemed to be working together for the common good of the whole world. They had even agreed to participate in the United Nations Organization, which, as a matter of fact, they had been prominently associated with since the earliest negotiations. Now universal peace, and maybe the Millennium, would be the …

An Investigation Of Certain Personality Factors Of Two Groups Seperated On The Basis Of A Color Association Test, Paul Raymond Binner

Psychology ETDs

It would be of interest to explore, in greater detail, further possible differences between these two groups, the "high orange" and "low orange." Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to seek possible differences between the two groups with respect to certain more specific personality variables. The importance of such a study, in addition to shedding light upon the characteristics of groups separated by means of the color association test, is also seen in the fact that it might provide information bearing upon the understanding, prediction and control of behavior-problem cases.

The Supervision Of The Guidance Program In A Small High School, John H. Clark

All Graduate Projects

The small high school has some problems to overcome in order to do an effective job in the guidance of its young people. It is difficult for the staff to find time for guidance activities in the busy schedule of today's curriculum. Released time is very necessary if effective counseling is to be done.

Another problan to be faced is the lack of trained personnel to head the guidance program. The high school principal must find a capable person or else head the program himself.

A third problem faced by the small high school is that of maintaining adequate records …
