Why Can't Johnny Read Better?, Kristen D. Juul

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

During recent years there has been considerable concern among the public with regard to the reading ability of school children. A great deal of unreasonable and some justified criticism has been leveled against the public schools for their purported inability to teach children to read well. Simple causes and simple solutions have been offered. Actually the problem is an exceedingly complex one, and the more we learn about factors related to reading retardation, the more we are becoming conscious of how little we know.

Fort St. Joseph Under French Control: 1693-1760, Cornelius Eringaard

Masters Theses

Preface

The purpose of this paper is to trace the history of Fort St. Joseph. In the process, I shall try to show Fort St. Joseph's historical setting in international and regional economics and politics. Regional and international events are included when necessary for this understanding.

Certain difficulties confront the researcher when he undertakes a study of this type. (A language barrier prevents me from reading my French documents which may have contained pertinent information.) Much source material is probably buried in the Paris archives, or in the archives of Quebec, two places I was unable to visit. I have …

A Survey Of Current Techniques For Selecting First-Line Supervisors In Industry, Linford A. Sutherland

Masters Theses

Introduction

The purpose of this investigation is to show to what extent the selection of supervisors is still based on subjective opinion, and to what extent objective devices have been developed and have gained acceptance.

The collection of relevant data for this survey involves a search of the published literature in the field. In this work the terms first-line supervisor, foreman, and supervisor will be used interchangeably.

The writer's interest in the area of supervisory selection was aroused after reading several articles on the problem of selecting factory supervisors of the highest caliber as industry now realizes that the supervisory …

The First British Labor Government 1924, Donald Black

Masters Theses

Introduction

In 1924, the Labor Part, assumed control or Britain's political destinies for the first time. Although its tenure or office was brief, from February through October of that year, it marked an important milestone in the slow, unrelenting progress of democratic socialism in the British political spectrum after the conclusion of World War I. Not only did it reveal that Labor could assume its role as an effective opposition Party, but also that Labor had the capacity to govern in a difficult and perplexing era.

A Comparison Between Signal-To-Noise Ratios Of Stutterers And Normal Speakers, Allen A. Montgomery

Masters Theses

Chapter I

The Problem and Its Background

The Problem

The problem with which this study deals, involves the question: do adult stutterers and non-stutterers differ in their ability to separate auditorily a designated sound from a background of noise?

Review of Research

Research in the field of stuttering has covered a wide area. Stutterers' metabolism has been measured, their handedness determined, and their personalities evaluated. Recently, however, the research has taken a new direction. Since the early 1950's with the development of the discipline of cybernetics, it has dealt increasingly with stuttering in terms of auditory and proprioceptive feedback, self …

Deinking Of Coated Magazine Papers: Experiments With Some Enzymes, Edgar E. Moore Jr.

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Introduction

At the present time fairly harsh procedures are used to deink magazine waste paper. The paper must be cooked in the presence of strong chemicals such as sodium hydroxide at elevated temperature and in some cases this is even carried out under pressure. This results in the removal of ink but the fibers are considerably darkened due to this procedure (1,2). It was the object of this survey to explore the literature to see if there is any information on a relatively mild method involving enzymes, which due to the absence of harsh chemicals and high temperatures would possibly …

A Laboratory Study Of The Effect Of Wet Pressing And Pulp Freeness On The Hygroexpansivity Of Sulphite Paper, Robert L. Woodall

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Since so many of today's papers are used for applications which require a low hygroexpansivity this property of paper is becoming increasingly important. There are many different types of paper which must be stable against changes in dimensions. Papers used in such diverse applications as recording charts, punch cards, paper recording tapes, and packaging boxes all must be stable against dimensional changes in order to function properly in their usage. In the area of printing papers there is a big demand for dimensionally stable paper. Because offset paper is repeatedly exposed to a wet blanket during the color printing process …

The Effects Of Acid Pretreatment On Hydrogen Peroxide And Zinc Hydrosulphite Bleached Deinked Magazine Stock, Philip C. Sturman

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Magazine papers which have a high groundwood content are deinked in large quantities by the deinking mills. For many uses deinked pulp produced from these papers must be bleached. The commonly practice industrial methods are not wholly satisfactory due to the high shrinkage and lack of brightness stability of the pulp they produce.

In this research project a high groundwood content magazine paper is deinked, washed and bleached. The following bleaching sequences are applied to the portions of the pulp: a single stage hydrogen peroxide treatment, a single stage zinc hydrosulphite treatment and a two-stage hydrogen peroxide-zinc hydrosulphite treatment. In …

The Utilization Of Hydrogenated Tall Oil In Paper Furnishes, Thomas W. Asmus

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

A literature survey is presented concerning the properties of tall oil, the theory of catalysis, and catalytic hydrogenation applied to tall oil. It is the purpose of the experimental work to prepare a material from tall oil by hydrogenation which will lend itself more useful as a sizing agent for certain low grades of paper.

The experimental results indicated that by hydrogenating tall oil soap, a whiter, less oily material is obtainable. Handsheets were prepared using this hydrogenated material, the starting material, and rosin size as sizing agents. It was found that the handsheets sized with the hydrogenated material had …

Differences In Picking Properties Between Casein And Soya Proteins, Shinya Takekawa

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

In this paper, the various picking properties are discussed at first, then in the experiment the fundamental differences between soya protein and casein in picking strength were studied.

Since it is considered that the penetration of the adhesives in a coating mixture into the base paper is important in picking, the picking strength of casein and soya protein were evaluated in functions of the beating level, sizing level and the amount of the adhesives. Whole experimental data were treated with the statistical method.

The results indicate that with the Wax test, the soya protein and casein have almost equal picking …
