The Biodegradability Of Detergents And The Effects Of Biodegradable Detergents Upon Root Elongation Of Certain Plants, Nancy Lou Bishop

Masters Theses

The effects of three biodegradable detergents upon root elongation of Cucumis sativus and Avena sativa was determined. All three detergents inhibit root elongation; the degree of inhibition depends on the brand of detergent and the species tested. Contact of the detergents with a sandy-loam results in reversal of inhibition of root elongation; the degree of reversal varies with detergent and species. However, reversal after 48 hours contact with soil does not appear to be due to degradation by microorganisms. Effects of aeration and of pH on test solutions are discussed.

Reading And Upward Bound-Another Look, Bruce A. Lloyd, Diane Griewank, Henri Carter

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

The major purpose of summer Upward Bound instructional programs is to assist those high school students who have the potential for succeeding in a college or university, but who otherwise would probably not be given the opportunity to enter an institution of higher learning. The generally low academic achievement of many of these students is often due to a variety of factors including poor and ineffective teaching (1), lack of motivation (8), and an environment which is far from conducive to scholarly or academic pursuits. In sum, typical school activities tend to be less than relevant for many of these …

A Multi-Media Approach To Reading, Lucetta A. Johnson

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

As a new teacher in the Allegan Public Schools one of the primary goals for the year was to present reading activities to the children in as many interesting ways as possible to enrich their reading experiences. A multi-media approach was chosen to accomplish this goal and to encourage the children to love books. By multi-media approach (1) is meant an approach that uses as many printed and audiovisual forms of communication as possible. The program used consisted of the following media, which are by no means all that are currently available: Basal Readers, Library Books, Film Strips, Educational Television, …

Conflict And Change In The Academic Community, Sidney Hook

Perspectives (1969-1979)

The direction of change which holds the greatest promise for deepening, enriching and developing the great humanistic and scientific legacies of university education is by liberalizing the curriculum and processes of teaching and learning in the light of the ideals of the liberal arts tradition. These legacies may stem from the contributions of socially privileged and elite groups of the past. Today our technology makes it possible for all men and women who are willing and able, to partake of them, to contribute to them, and to find meaning and enjoyment in them. The liberal arts tradition is strengthened by …

Only In Our Learning-The Purpose Of An Academic Community, Harris L. Wofford Jr.

Perspectives (1969-1979)

The search for truth is indeed the highest purpose of an academic community; it is truth as a question that can make man free. This is the vision without which people perish. Without it, we in our multiversities may win the world but lose our souls. Yet it is this basic idea of a community of scholars that is in clear and present danger.

Discriminating Readers Are Critical Thinkers, Patricia J. Cianciolo

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Critical thinking is usually described as a part of problem solving and of creative thinking. Critical thinking usually implies appraisal in terms of some standard or value. And, according to the reports of research conducted at the University of Buffalo in their Creative Education Foundation, as one gains facility in critical thinking skills there also occur significant gains in personality traits such as confidence, self-reliance, persuasiveness, initiative, and leadership potential.
