Concise Abstraction: J.D. Salinger, Michael J. Durkin

Honors Theses

The works of J, D. Salinger have progressed in several ways from his earliest published works. The subject matter has changed in an attempt to meet the purposes of the author, and I believe that these stales or purposes of the author fit into four main groups—the observer, the philosopher, the preacher, and the mystic.

The Teacher's Role In Liberal Education, James Redfield

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Liberal Education does not concern itself with the process by which people come to be able to do what is required of them; liberal education is the process by which people come to be excellent. Servile education makes a man useful to other people; liberal education makes him satisfactory to himself.

The Effects Of Cationically Charged Titanium Dioxide On Particle Dispersion In The Sheet Of Paper, Neil A. Hartman

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

Comercial bleached soft wood sulfite pulp was used. The pulp was refined in a Standard Valley Beater to a Canadian Standard freeness of 428. This pulp was preserved and used to make all of the handsheets, on a Noble and Wood handsheet mold.

The Titanium dioxide added to the handsheets was prepared in three different ways: simple dispersion, dispersion of the Titanium dioxide along with cationic substances, and addition of the dispersed Titanium dioxide and the cationic substance to the pulp without previous co-dispersion. The optical properties of the sheets were measured and the Titanium dioxide in the sheets was …

Is Lip Movement Really So Bad?, Blanche Phyllis Zink

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Few issues concerned with the complex art of teaching reading have remained controversial for as long as the topic of lip movement during silent reading. Educators do not seem to be in agreement concerning this phenomenon which most teachers in the elementary school have observed. Some reading specialists support the theory that lip movement may be an aid to comprehension in the lower grades, but that it may be a deterrent to comprehension in the intermediate grades. Other specialists, who are equally gifted in the diagnosing and handling of reading problems, feel that lip movement is a desirable, developmental learning …

Case Studies Of The Influence Of Reading On Adolescents, Fehl L. Shirley

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In a study of the impact of reading on the concepts, attitudes, and behavior of adolescents, it was found that students exhibited varying responses from ambiguous, general, indifferent reactions to highly significant dimensions of self-involvement. Some subjects stated that no specific selection had influenced their concepts, attitudes or behavior; the responses of these students were frequently vague and appeared to disclose an indifferent attitude toward reading. On the other hand, the verbalizations of others appeared to reveal empathy and intense participation in their reading which, sometimes, led to reoriented goals and actions implementing these goals.

Echoes From The Field, Joe R. Chapel, Ronald A. Crowell

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Now in its third year, the Kalamazoo County Reading Therapists Organization is meeting four times during the current school year. The members of the group are full-time reading teachers, most of whom are involved in federally funded reading programs or teach under the state reimbursable programs. The organization, which now has members from all of the school districts in the county, was formed as a vehicle for the sharing of ideas and methods and the discussion of current issues of interest to remedial reading teachers. The organization has been enthusiastically accepted and supported by the county reading therapists.

Grammar With Grace, Louis Foley

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In the field of education it has been assumed that raising the educational level of teachers is directly related to the improvement of pupil achievement. Metzner, in the October issue of Phi Delta Kappan~ discredits this assumption when he points out that, "Regardless of what criteria are used, the irrelevance of the amount of teacher training to teaching success becomes increasingly evident the more one consults the pertinent research." In substantiating this statement he cites seventeen apparently well-designed and controlled investigations.

The University And Social Change, Rudolf J. Siebert

Perspectives (1969-1979)

Social change remains a most dramatic and most difficult challenge - a challenge which has to be faced. The academic community must face it, not only theoretically and practically inside of the university as an institution, but in its social and cultural environments as well.

How The Younger Generation Is Being Corrupted, Henry Winthrop

On Some Aspect Of An Integrated General Education*, Martin Levit

Perspectives (1969-1979)

For many proponents, the educational reforms instituted by the general education movement were intended to represent or make possible social reforms. They were designed to develop capable and concerned social critics and reformers, people who had not merely a specialist's, niche-filler's, or functionary's, view of society but, also had embracive concerns and a comprehensive view of the social structure.
