Zion In Paradise, S. George Ellsworth

Faculty Honor Lectures

EVERYONE KNOWS something about the Mormon struggle for a place on the American frontier, and the ultimate settlement in the mountain valleys of Utah in 1847. But on the underside of the world at the same time there was being enacted on volcanic islands and coral reefed atolls of the South Seas another part of the Mormon epic, an epic itself, heroic and enduring, unheralded and unsung, of ardent missionaries dedicated to a prophetic religion's inherent commitment to the idea of universal conversion. From most humble and precarious beginnings the first truly foreign mission of the Mormons spread its influence …

Studies Of Ultraviolet Inactivation Of Cucumber Mosaic Virus In Vivo, Twila Elaine Cheney

Biology

It has been known for some time that plant viruses are inactivated in vitro by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation (Arthur and Newell, 1929). The studies of Hollaender and Duggar (1936) and Price and Gowen (1937) have shown that tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is inactivated in vitro according to a simple exponential law suggestive of a "one hit" process. More recently plant viruses have been inactivated in vivo by UV irradiation. Bawden and Kleczkowski (1955) found that the development of virus-induced lesions on French bean leaves could be wholly or partially inhibited by UV irradiation subsequent to inoculation with Rothamsted tobacco necrosis …

A Survey Of The Use Of Standardized Tests In The Junior High Schools Of Weber County, Ashlaug J. Jackson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

It is evident from the literature reviewed that there is a need for better understanding and utilization of standardized test results. It seems that unless tests contribute to the learning process they are not justifiable. Merritt (12, p. 66) says the main objective of all endeavor is to promote learning. Ultimately, the worth of any activity carried on in the schools has to be judged by the contribution this activity makes toward the improvement of learning. Testing is no exception. In a broad sense, desirable learning has taken place when behavior has been changed in socially approved directions. Testing is …

A History Of General Obligation Bonding In Logan City, Kenneth W. Godfrey

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Borrowing is of great importance in meeting local revenue shortages. Philadelphia began the history of local borrowing by financing the construction of a water system in 1789, from a loan of $150,000. By 1843, the seventeen largest cities had an outstanding indebtedness of $125.5 million. In the 1840's and 1850's cities and counties borrowed to construct public works, and aid in the building of railroads. They defaulted on their loans frequently. In spite of the low state of municipal credit, state governments enacted general legislation by which the local governments were granted greater freedom in borrowing. But after the Civil …

The Agricultural Phase Of The Technical Assistance Program Of The United States In Iran, With Special Reference To The Role Of Utah State University, Malek Mansour Esfandiary

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

My thesis, while examining the broad scope of American technical assistance in agriculture to Iran, emphasizes the work of scientists and technicians who went there under contract with Utah State University (USAC). I have tried to make this work as complete as available information makes possible.

There are several problems encountered. Some technicians were reluctant to make comments which might appear to be critical of either the American administration or the Iranian government-cultural climate; some did not receive my letter probably because of a change of address. Reference materials were scarce. In most cases it was almost impossible to separate …

A Study Of Two Groups Of Superior Students At The Logan Junior High School, Rudgar H. Daines

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Educators have long been aware of the varied needs, abilities, and interests of children. They have tried to provide proper curriculum, materials, and methods to meet the wide range of abilities that exists in every classroom. Despite the attempt of the schools to provide for the particular needs of the individuals, the gifted students continue as a neglected segment in our schools. Because of other pressing educational problems, the awareness of their needs has been somewhat pushed into the background, and only through the present demand for greater leadership in our country and for the optimum use of our manpower, …

Church And State Relationships In Education In Utah, James R. Clark

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The study treats a highly controversial area in American education as it applies to the State of Utah. The proper relation between Church and state in the field of education has not yet been settled, nor is it likely ever to be with any finality. In two most recent cases involving the legal issues of Church and State in education ( McCullum vs. Board of Education, 333 U. S. 203 and Zorach V. Clawson, 343 U. s. 306) the United States Supreme Court has written split opinions. The 1956 White House Conference on Education found that religion and segregation were …

The Development Of A Dietary Manual For The Small Hospital, Blanche Z. Madsen

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

An increased amount of emphasis is constantly being placed on the standardization of diets where group feeding is involved. Especially is this true in the hospital where food is an essential part of the medical treatment of the patient. The directing personnel responsible for the diets for any hospital situation where a dietitian is employed, are the doctors who prescribe the diet orders and the dietitian who interprets them.

Utah Music Educators Association Handbook, Dallin S. Nielsen

All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023

Origin and nature of this project

In recent years an increasing number of requests have been made by the music teachers of Utah that a handbook be prepared that would set forth the structure of the Utah Music Educators Association and describe its activities and services.

It was thought advisable by the officers of U.M.E.A. to include in the booklet also the plan of operation of the region music activities of Utah and a description of the affiliation of U.M.E.A. with other professional organizations along with a brief statement of their structure and objectives.

Objectives

The Effects Of Woodpeckers On Populations Of The Engelmann Spruce Beetle, F B. Knight

The Bark Beetles, Fuels, and Fire Bibliography

Woodpeckers have been recognized for many years as a major factor in the natural reduction of Engelmann spruce beetle populations. A means of assessing their value has been developed. Five classifications of woodpecker feeding based on woodpecker work on 225 trees were studies. An analysis of populations measurements showed a correlation between beetle survival and the woodpecker classification and the intensity of infestation in each tree. A heavy woodpecker classification resulted n very little survival at all intensities of infestation. Survival increased both with an increase in intensity of infestation and a lower woodpecker classification. The average reduction in populations …

Comparison Of Two Plans For Administration Organization Of The School Districts Of Sanpete County, Leon F. Christiansen

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Educational administration exists to develop and guide the educational program. Every local public school system is a legal agency of the state for the conduct of public education. State laws usually set up the administrative units for school districts and places upon local boards of education the responsibility for the management of the local schools. Such boards represent the people of the state, and the district, and they perform a large number of legally designated functions.

The constitution of the State of Utah states clearly the responsibility for the maintenance and establishment of the schools. The following are extracts from …

A Comparative Analysis Of School Reorganization Of Bear Lake County Idaho, Morris B. Athay

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Education, always important, is today more essential than ever if we are to perpetuate and improve our democratic way of life. The recognition of the importance of education in our society has resulted in planning at the national, state and local levels.

Various studies have been made to determine the most desirable type of organization for schools in the United States. One survey made by the World Book Company in Tennessee has given some indication that the size of communities was probably related to educational achievement. The data does not prove any causal relation between educational outcome and community size, …
