For the promotion of socio-economic programs for relief clients which will be of mutual benefit to the individuals and to society it is necessary to determine the actual attitudes of those individuals toward socio-economic problems. The verbal statements of attitudes toward social, economic and personal problems of relief children of relief parents are inconsistent with and non-indicative of their actual attitudes as revealed by their clinical case studies.

A Study Of The Propaganda Of The Anti-Saloon League Of America: A Typical Representative Of "The Pressure Group", George M. Winwood

Honors Papers

Democratic government implies that "the people shall rule." This means if it means anything, that public opinion shall found expression in law. The mechanism by which this takes place seems to me to be one of the basic problems of popular government. Democracy without organization is in conceivable and public opinion that is organized is likely to be evanescent and ineffective--a phantom. In a Greek city-state or in a New England town, the determination of the collective will upon a particular problem will occasion no great difficulty. But direct democracy falls down in the face of increasing numbers. The individual …

Certain Problems Of International Law With Reference To China, Agnes Ch'en Fang-Chih

Bryn Mawr College Dissertations and Theses

In the present monographs an attempt is made to study certain problems of international law with reference to their application in China. Whatever its pretensions in the realm of theory may be, the ultimate value of international law lies and its actual application by the nations in their relations with one another. As a sovereign state in the community of nations, China is entitled to be treated as the juristic equal of the other member states. Owing to her administrative and military weakness, however, China's jurisdictional rights have been frequently curtailed by the arbitrary sex of the so-called Great Powers. …

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, …

Development Of Public Assistance In Louisiana., Marianna Evans

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

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.

A Bibliography Of Books And Magazine Articles Pertaining To The History Of Journalism, George Joseph Belhumeur

Bachelors’ Theses

The History of Journalism, whether tied up with men or with newspapers, is of untold value to the practicing journalist. He may find some inf­ormation that would help in a particular story, but that would seldom happen. Inspiration is the big thing to be had from the histories of Journ­alism. To know what others have encountered, how they overcame difficulties, how papers have risen and fallen, and why, ---- these will be of incalculable value.
