American History Information In Relation To Character And Conduct, Floyd A. Hines

Graduate Thesis Collection

The whole history is in man and may be explained from individual experience as a stately forest may be explained from one acorn of the weed patch from one seed.  In history the collective experiences of man are united in a written record.  These experiences are usually of a material nature but are influenced greatly by the unseen emotions which cannot so definitely be written, yet may be felt by the student of history.

The Rise And Development Of Safety Education In The Public Schools Of The United States, John Metzger

The Application Of Judd's Theory Of Generalization To Teaching Situations In Physical Education For Ninth Grade Girls, Helen Minerva Loveridge

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

In the physical education work of the public schools the accomplishment of character and moral development through this subject is accepted but unproven. Through three years of teaching and extensive reading in the theory and practice of this field the writer is very much aware of this condition. The accomplishment of the health betterment through physical education activities is universally accepted, but the achievement of character betterment, although universally mentioned by educators, is not generally proven as an actual occurrence.

Since the former is achieved through careful planning the latter likewise necessitates definite method. The method may be based upon …

The Nature Of Adaptations, O. R. Clark

Science Bulletin

In the October number of this bulletin, in a discussion of the influence of environment upon the growth and development of plants, the statement was made that, on the whole, plants are quite well adapted to the conditions under which they grow. As to the manner by which this ''fitness” has arisen there are some differences of opinion and, in the opinion of the writer, a great many misunderstandings. This is a question to which no ''cut-and-dried'' answer can be given but to which a fundamental principle of biology may be applied.
