A History Of The Guam Public Library System 1947-1975, Mary Sue Caldwell

Dissertations

This historical study ascertained that, between the years of 1902 and 1941, there were libraries on Guam which served the local civilian population. Early library development on Guam (prior to 1947) did not seem to have followed the same pattern of development as libraries in the United States. This may have been due, in part, to the individuals responsible for the two library movements on Guam. The Guam Public Library System and its predecessors were established by individuals from the continental United States, where libraries had already undergone a developmental process. Thus, the library on Guam seems to have been …

Factors Important To The Vocational Development Of Women Police Officers, Carol Ann Martin

Dissertations

Problem

The contributions policewomen have made in the relatively short period of their existence have led many police departments to regard women as an indispensable part of the American police force. During the last nine years a large variety of opportunities have become available to women police officers. Women have been added as sworn police officers not only in the small departments but in large departments and federal agencies as well. For the female interested in becoming a policewoman, as far as the administrator concerned with staffing his department with qualified females, there is a paucity of information available on …

Selected Variables Related To Alienation From Religion As Perceived By Students Attending Seventh-Day Adventist Academies In The United States, Roger L. Dudley

Dissertations

Problem. Some young people who are reared in religious homes reject the religion of their parents upon reaching adolescence. This is a matter of crucial concern to church youth leaders as well as to parents. It was the purpose of the present study to discover relationships that may exist between alienation from religion and other selected variables. It was hypothesized that religious alienation is related to the quality of the relationships— especially as those relationships concern religious values— chat the young people have with parents and other authority figures. Independent variables were chosen in accordance with that hypothesis which was …
