Bulletin No. 343 - Utah Agricultural Experiment Station Biennial Report 1948-1950, R. H. Walker

UAES Bulletins

The objective of an agricultural experiment station is to help the farmer solve the technical problems of agriculture that he has neither the money, time, nor technical skill to solve himself. For sixty-two years now the Utah Station has been concerned with the problems peculiar to the state, problems of range management and of range cattle and sheep production, problems of fanning under dry land conditions, and problems of irrigation agriculture. Many problems have been solved. There is hardly a farm practice today that has not been influenced by the research of the agricultural experiment station. But new problems are …

Attitude Of Utah Farm People Toward The Extension Service In Utah, Stephen L. Brower

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The Cooperative Extension Service in agriculture and home economics was established on a national basis in 1914 by the passage of the Smith-Lever Act. The act stated, in broad non-restrictive terms, that the major purpose of cooperative extension work was "to aid in diffusing among the people of the United States useful and practical information on subjects related to agriculture and home economics, and to encourage the application of the same." Thus the primary function of the Cooperative Extension Service in agriculture and home economics is education.

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Conditions At The Utah State Industrial School In 1947 With Emphasis On Changes In Program In 1945, 1947 And 1949, Bert Anderson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

This study deals with the program, personnel, and physical plant of the Utah State Industrial School. Studies made of the school are few. Among them, the Survey made by John Schapps, Field Consultant of the National Probation Association, between January and July, 1946, is probably the most comprehensive and professional in nature. Since Mr. Schapps's study began only three months after Mr. Parley Kilburn was appointed superintendent, this investigator covered conditions mainly as they were under the old administration. This study aims at comparison of conditions, facilities and programs as they existed in 1947 and 1949 with those found by …

Teaching Combinations Of The Men Teachers Of Physical Education In The Public High Schools Of Utah, Earl G. Holmstead

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The almost universal acceptance of physical education as an integral part of education has resulted in state legislation throughout the United States requiring the teaching of physical education in the public schools. Because of this legislation, it has become necessary to better prepare teachers to carry on a worthwhile physical education program. Efficient teaching cannot be expected to result from lack of training and inadequate preparation; therefore, the college graduate who holds a degree with no specialized training is not adequately prepared to teach effectively and efficiently in our school systems of today.

Institution Building In Utah, Joseph A. Geddes

Faculty Honor Lectures

The slow growth of civilization and the early meagerness of tested knowledge in any but the most pressing and practical matters undoubtedly conditioned and determined the nature of primitive collective thinking. Large assumptions had to be made about all things. Trial and error methods were slow methods. Only in his late maturity as knowledge multiplied has man found ways of testing the validity of an hypothesis so that assumption-making could become a tool of advancement rather than a controlling mechanism. Superstition, a large component in the culture of even the most advanced peoples, was an inevitable adjunct of progress. As …

Bulletin No. 336 - Utah Agricultural Experiment Station Biennial Report, 1946-1948, R. H. Walker

UAES Bulletins

During the past biennium there has been a general expansion in the research program of the Agricultural Experiment Station. This was made possible through increased state legislative appropriation and through federal funds made available by the Agricultural Research and Marketing Act which passed Congress in August 1946, although funds were not available until August 1947. Grants-in-aid by state and private agencies have also made other research possible.

Public Recreation In Logan, Utah, 1946: An Appraisal, Beatrice J. Carroll

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Modern writers see varied values in recreation. The necessity for recreation in a machine age has become widely recognized. Its many-sided contribution to good living is being clarified by a constangly increasing member of writers--sociologists, educators, physicians, philosophers, etc. It seams appropriate to this inquiry to consider what some of these writers say.

Elements Of Personality Maladjustment Among Freshmen Students Entering Utah State Agricultural College, 1947, William R. Dobson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

For the past number of years, in attempting to diagnose maladjustment, psychologists have made and used a great number of tests. These tests have ranged from the simple question-answer test up to complicated projective tests. In any personality test an inescapable question is its validity. Especially is this question important in the so-called personality inventories where the person taking the test merely answers yes or no to a number of questions about himself. In this situation it is easy to see how a person could, if he wished, make himself appear to be "better" than he actually is.

Family Problems In Brigham City, Utah, Dean M. Mcdonald

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Less than a century ago most primary functions of life centered in the family. One by one many of these functions have moved out of the home into the factory, the school, the church and the community. In the loss of functions which held the family together as a unit, disintegration set in and numerous evidences of family disorganization began to appear. Many people today, cognizant of the role which the family still plays in implementing personalities and in sustaining social stability, are nevertheless deeply concerned with increasing evidences of family disorganization.

Eight years ago the United States Office of …

Participation And Leadership In Voluntary Agencies At Plain City, Utah, 1947, Wade H. Andrews

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Plain City is a, rural village of 822 people (Sixteenth Census, United States, 1940) located on a fiat, plain area ten miles northwest of Olden, Utah, a city of 51,927 people (1946 survey of the Weber County-Ogden City Planning Commission).

Plain City was founded by Mormon pioneers in 1859 after the pattern followed in nearly all the early settlements of this area. The use of the square block on the basis of the four cardinal points of the compass was standard. Village living for all, farmers as well as non-farmers, was the accepted form of building new villages, towns or …

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

1. This study is the result of two separate surveys of the retail grocery stores in Logan, Utah. The primary purpose of these surveys was to make a detailed study of price differentials as they exist between the stores of different kind, class, location and size.
2. Logan was chosen for this survey for a number of reasons: (1) It is typical of many Rocky Mountain cities for size. (2) There is no one industry that completely dominates the economy of the city. (3) There are sufficient stores in kind and number to give the necessary data. (4) Besides the local independent …

Bulletin No. 327 - Utah Agricultural Experiment Station Biennial Report, 1944-1946, R. H. Walker

UAES Bulletins

During the past biennium there has been a general expansion in the research program of the Utah Agricultural Experiment Station. Although some of the investigations were curtailed by lack of personnel and equipment and the pressure of wartime assignments, many of the staff were able to devote more time to research because of a lessening of the teaching load at the College. The emergency caused a re-examination of the research program, old projects, no longer urgent were weeded out, others were revised to meet the needs of the changing times, and many new projects were initiated to extend the research …
