Masters Theses

The Problem and Its Background

Introduction

A curriculum can be developed in several ways. The simplest method is to use the curriculum of another institution without modification. The hazard of such an approach lies in the possibility that the curriculum may not be a good one or, even if satisfactory for the original institution, may not fit into the conditions of the setting where it is to be used. For example, entrance requirements for institutions vary from country to country and from one institution to another.

Another method is to study a number of curriculums and develop a composite curriculum …

The Effect Of Variables On The Penetration Of Starch Applied At The Size Press, John Hartman

Paper Engineering Senior Theses

The literature from 1925 until the present was searched as it related to the above topic. It was organized into three areas. The first relates the reasons for surface sizing a sheet and how penetration affects them. The second topic states the beliefs as to which variables affect penetration and how they are believed to affect it. The last area concerns the work that has been done in this field. This work has been looking due to a lack of good procedure. Some work has been done on starch coating adhesives and this was searched for useable technique.

Little Things Can Make Reading Easier, Louis Foley

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In recent years, specialists in linguistics have become increasingly aware of a fundamental reason for poor reading. That is the reading of words one by one, instead of promptly recognizing their grouping, the patterns in which they are joined, or in other words sentence structure. The way a person reads orally seems to be a reliable indication of how he reads silently, for as a leading authority has remarked, "it is not likely that a word-caller in oral reading will read silently by language structures."* so it should be easy to determine in any case whether this basic fault is …

A Precious Legacy, Louise J. Walker

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

One of the blessings of my childhood was the utter freedom in which I was left to explore, sample, and lose myself in books. Almost as soon as I could handle a book, my parents taught me how to open and use one properly. Books have become a part of me. I would be lost without them. They are a way of life for me. I wish this same freedom for all children today!

Challenging The Curious Mind, Dena Heynen

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

Is the education you are providing for your students real? Is it effective? Is it challenging the curious mind? There is a great concern today about what is happening in our schools and about how the youth of today will face the future of tomorrow.

Ah, Wilderness, George Egland

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

In the movement toward greater and greater specialization which is so popular these days, we can find growing tendencies for the members of new branch-professions to operate in ways which dis courage interprofessional cooperation. In much the same way as adolescents strive to establish distinct and secure self-images, so the various branches of the educational profession are seeking separate identity and status, and they are choosing routes which remove them as far as possible from their neighbors. This exclusiveness is pointed up dramatically by the very labels and distinguishing lingo which the new specialties are adopting.

Investigations Of Neutron Collimators And Detector Systems Used In A Neutron-Capture Internal-Conversion Apparatus, William Charles Johnston

Masters Theses

Preface

During the past six decades considerable effort has been devoted to investigating and explaining the phenomena associated with the atomic nucleus. However, many important features of the nucleus still are not understood. Among these are such fundamental aspects as the structural composition of the nucleus, the nature of the forces between nucleons, and several of the basic processes that occur among the nuclear constituents. The goal of nuclear physics is to construct a unified theory which is able to explain all nuclear phenomena.

The experimentalist contributes toward this objective by gathering and classifying extensive amounts of experimental data in …

An Investigation Of The Effect Of Auditory And Combined Auditory-Visual Cues Upon Judged Intelligibility Of Artificial Larynx Speech And Esophageal Speech, Mary Ellen Carder

Masters Theses

Introduction

Surveys have shown that the incidence of total laryngectomy, surgical removal of the larynx, has increased steadily in the United States since 1947 when a total of 846 cases were reported (19, 20), to the present time when cancer registries indicate that about 4,400 new cases of cancer of the larynx are discovered annually (13). While it is estimated that in the United States at the present time there are 15,000 to 20,000 individuals who have undergone surgical removal of the larynx due to a carcinomatous condition of that organ (27), it is probable that the total population of …

A Study Of Certain Effects Of Local And Topical Anesthetics On The Speech Of Stutterers, Charles Michael Gross

Masters Theses

Chapter I

Introduction

Introductory Statement

The ability to monitor one's own vocal output is essential if one is to produce and maintain normal speech. Speech would become progressively defective if one were unable to detect errors in voice, articulation, or rate. The preservation and maintenance of speech require the coordination of several automatic systems in the human body. One of these systems includes the tactual-kinesthetic purpose of defining the tactual-kinesthetic role and its relation to feedback cues in the production of speech.

Since speech is controlled by more than one automatic feedback system, it is essential that an investigation of …

On May 28, 1964, members of the Western Michigan University Chapter of the International Reading Association honored its founder and sponsor by electing to change the name of their organization to the Homer L. J. Carter Reading Council. We chose to honor Mr. Carter at this time because on July 1 he will retire from Western Michigan University where he has been Director of the Psycho-Educational Clinic and Professor of Psychology.

"Look, Ma, He's Reading", Pauline Lucas

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

You learn to swim by swimming. You learn to sing by singing. You learn to drive a car by driving. The same truth holds for reading; you learn to read by reading, to really read that is, not merely to pronounce words. Why, then, don't we as teachers spend more time and effort leading children to the joys and habits of reading—volunteer reading for fun, for recreation, for sheer enjoyment?

Have Good Readers--Will Go Places, Joan Paul

Reading Horizons: A Journal of Literacy and Language Arts

John, a well developed fifth grade boy, has been chosen to repre sent his school in an all-city sports contest. Since he is very athletic and has been encouraged by his classmates, he stands a good chance of winning the 100-yard-dash trophy for his school. Sounds exciting, doesn't it? But, wait. What if his teacher tells him to run slowly so the other boys can keep up with him? No teacher would dream of doing that. We do not expect children to run at the same rate, and we encourage them to try to excel.
