Helminths Of Fishes From Trumbull Lake, Clay County, Iowa, Fred Paul Meyer Jan 1958

Helminths Of Fishes From Trumbull Lake, Clay County, Iowa, Fred Paul Meyer

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

In 1953 it was observed that the fishes taken by anglers in Trumbull Lake, Clay County, Iowa, were "grubby" or wormy" and hence considered unfit for human consumption. This study was undertaken to ascertain in greater detail the parasite fauna of that area. Work was begun in the summer of 1954 and collections were made intermittently through the summers of 1954 and 1955. All fish were examined at the Iowa Lakeside Laboratory, Lake Okoboji, Iowa. Final identifications of the parasites were completed at Iowa State College during 1956 and 1957.


Group Counseling Of Junior High School Students With Certain Adjustment Problems, Urma Peterson English Jan 1958

Group Counseling Of Junior High School Students With Certain Adjustment Problems, Urma Peterson English

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Three years ago, when the writer first entered the Cedar Falls Junior High School as a classroom teacher, students who did not conform to school regulations were assigned to detention during the period following the regular school day. The policy was to assign each teacher to one week of detention duty on a rotating basis as part of the teaching load. It was apparent that the teachers considered the detention assign.ment among the least desirable of their duties. The primary objective of detention was to make the experience disagreeable enough that the students would conform to school regulations and remain …

A Survey Of The Educational And Personal Characteristics Required For Initial Employment Of Accountants In A Selected Group Of Iowa Industries, Leonard Eugene Bennett

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

One of the most dynamic characteristics of today's society is found in its complex and everchanging economic structure. These characteristics have been enhanced by such elements as the growth of corporate enterprise, greater governmental regulations of business, and increased demands by consumers for more business services. With the increase of these complexities, the need for accurate and readily understood records is great. Therefore, the need for specialists who can understand, prepare, and interpret these records becomes more and more important. It is the function of financial accounting to give expression to these records and to make the activities of a …


A Broader Approach To High School Publicity Through Three Selected Media, Donald Dean Ambroson Jan 1958

A Broader Approach To High School Publicity Through Three Selected Media, Donald Dean Ambroson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Communication between the school and the community has been a problem to educators and patrons of school districts for some time. In the early years of our country, the school was the center of the community and nothing happened in the school that the people in the area did not know. As the urbanization of our country began to take place, the school gradually lost its top spot on the conversational list of the people within the school district. Only within the smallest communities did communication of school and community not suffer. Most of this communication was of the personal …

Science Vocabulary And Teaching, R. R. Haun

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

If it should be necessary to relate the work here reported to a theoretical background or to some current problems, such relationships could easily be found in the developing concepts about the psychology and philosophy of the thinking process and in the current discussions concerning critical thinking and the philosophy of science.


The Fine Structure Of The Malpighian Tubules Of Dytiscus Sp.: Preliminary Communication, Everett Anderson, H. W. Beams Jan 1957

The Fine Structure Of The Malpighian Tubules Of Dytiscus Sp.: Preliminary Communication, Everett Anderson, H. W. Beams

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

An extensive literature has accumulated dealing with the cytology of Malpighian tubules of insects as revealed by the light microscope, but relatively few papers have dealt with a study of their ultrastructure (Bradfield, 1953; Beams, Tahmisian and Devine, 1955). Shiwago (1915) called attention to the behavior of the mitochondria in the Malpighian tubules of the cockroach. He observed that they apparently migrate from the cell body into the striated border and hence, into the lumen of the tubule. Beams, Tahmisian and Devine (1955) have, in essence, confirmed Shiwago's results and they have been able to reveal, because of the high …

A Modern Approach To Elementary Analysis, H. C. Trimble Jan 1957

A Modern Approach To Elementary Analysis, H. C. Trimble

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

Recall, on the one hand, that mathematics has grown up in the past one hundred fifty years. With the acceptance of non-euclidean geometrics, of algebraic structures beginning with groups, and of symbolic logic, the very idea of what mathematics is had to change. It took a while for mathematicians to digest the ideas of men like Lobachevski, Galois, and Boole. The Bourbaki notion of mathematics as a 'storehouse of structures' is new in the last few decades.

The Development Of A Reading Program In An Iowa High School, James E. Albrecht Jan 1956

The Development Of A Reading Program In An Iowa High School, James E. Albrecht

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The interest Americans have expressed in the art of reading perhaps stems back to their original formulation of the goals of education, when reading took its place as the first of the "3 R's." Authorities today in the field of education are still agreed that reading should be considered as basic to all forms of education. The Iowa State Course of Study in English suggests that, "Reading is the chief means of gaining an education and of continuing the education after formal schooling has ended."1

An Investigation Of The Development Of Citizens Committees For Public Schools In The United States, James Leonard Gordon

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The problem as identified in the title of this study is just one phase of the larger, more-inclusive problem of developing and maintaining school-community relations. From the beginnings of our public school systems, the problem of effective communication between the people who are the beneficiaries of public educational services and the people who have the responsibility for performing those services has existed.

Ibex Lowensis, First Evidence Of Fossil Goat In North America, Harris A. Palmer Jan 1956

Ibex Lowensis, First Evidence Of Fossil Goat In North America, Harris A. Palmer

Proceedings of the Iowa Academy of Science

One of the problems dealing with the migration of Quaternary Bovid stocks from Eurasia to North America via the Bering Straits, is the extreme fragmentary nature of the fossil record. A number of the dozen or so genera now recognized have been established on the basis of single fragmentary specimens. Many times these consist of isolated bone fragments such as horncores, partial crania, dentitions and even less diagnostic elements of the axial skeleton. As recently as 193 7 species of two genera mw to the North American continent were identified from Alaskan deposits on the basis of similar fragmentary remains …

A Plan For Preparing And Operating A Marionette Theatre At The Junior High School Level, Louis E. Glorfeld Jan 1956

A Plan For Preparing And Operating A Marionette Theatre At The Junior High School Level, Louis E. Glorfeld

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

It was the purpose of this study to present a workable plan for preparing and operating a marionette theatre at the junior high school level. Although a great deal of material for the construction of the marionette theatre has been published and although the marionette theatre has been used in the junior high school, no material has been written specifically for use in the junior high school. This study presents a simple and workable plan for the operation of a marionette theatre which should be of value to the inexperienced teacher and to the teacher who is limited in facilities …
