A Critical Comparison Of The Restitution Motifs Of The Campbells (1809-1830) And The Anabaptists (1524-1560), Richard Thomas Hughes Aug 1967

A Critical Comparison Of The Restitution Motifs Of The Campbells (1809-1830) And The Anabaptists (1524-1560), Richard Thomas Hughes

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Many students have been impressed with the restitutionist character of the Radical Reformation and have observed certain similarities between that movement and the Restoration movement in America. The primary problem and purposes of this study are therefore twofold: (1) Were the two movements really similar, and if so, to what extent? (2) If both groups started with essentially the same presuppositions regarding the Scriptures, the church that was to be restored, and the method of restitution, how should one account for any differences that existed in practice?

A Survey Of School Districts In Boyd County, Nebraska, 1965-1966, Robert Stuerman

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Today, due to the ever-increasing educational requirements laid down by states and the increasing costs of education, many of the smaller districts have either been forced to close down or are lacking in one or more of the state requirements and are on the verge of losing their accreditation and ultimately their school. Dennis M. David made a survey of 135 citizens in five mid-western states and showed that only one-fourth of the people were aware that the purpose of reorganization of school districts is to provide better education. It has been shown through surveys of Nebraska County high school …


Incomplete Neurological Development As A Root Of Reading Problems: A Classroom Teacher's Approach, Helen B. Prokes Mar 1967

Incomplete Neurological Development As A Root Of Reading Problems: A Classroom Teacher's Approach, Helen B. Prokes

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Incomplete neurological development as a root of reading problems is a concept that could revolutionize our system of education. It could guide us to treating the “disease” rather than the symptoms. It could save us much “beating of the air” in our use of methods. It could modify our demands that learning take place in developmental infancy. At least, that is the theory of Dr. Carl H. Delacato2 and his associates in their Developmental Reading Program at Chestnut Hill Academy in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Their motivation stems from the conviction that “reading problems need not exist at all because they can …


Planned Educational Progress In The Mitchell Public School System, Donald Jesse Mclean Feb 1967

Planned Educational Progress In The Mitchell Public School System, Donald Jesse Mclean

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

There is but one major purpose for the existence of the public schools in the American society. That purpose is to provide the best possible education for the nation’s children. Several elements are required to make this successful program a reality within a given community. The school board and administration must provide for at least three important ingredients, the first being a system of well-designed school buildings. The second is the employment of well- prepared teachers and the third is a well-planned curriculum. To accomplish a successful program it is necessary to continually evaluate all three areas. In doing so …


A Follow-Up Study Of South Dakota State University Graduates With A Major In Industrial Arts 1951 Through 1966, Robert Vernon Lee Feb 1967

A Follow-Up Study Of South Dakota State University Graduates With A Major In Industrial Arts 1951 Through 1966, Robert Vernon Lee

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Education is not an end in itself. It is only a means to an end. This end is usually away from the educational institution itself. There are no doubt several methods for evaluating the effectiveness that the educational institution is achieving in its endeavor to prepare its graduates toward the desired goals. The degree of proficiency in the individual subjects can be tested while the student is in school. How the person is doing after graduation is a major part of the true test of his overall education. Evaluation becomes more difficult after the student has graduated. This is due …


The Concept Of The Flapper In The Early Writings Of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Janet Foster Carroll Jan 1967

The Concept Of The Flapper In The Early Writings Of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Janet Foster Carroll

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

A curious, but important, relationship exists between the social history of a particular age and the imaginative literature of the same period. The writings in both areas become major sources of knowledge about that era for readers in future generations. The following thesis is the outgrowth, in part, of this interest – an examination of the concept of the flapper in the early works of F. Scott Fitzgerald. For years Fitzgerald has been regarded as the chronicler of his Age. As early as 1920 he was heralded by the public as “Spokesman for the Younger Generation,” and although he seems …

An Analysis Of Per Capita Costs For Selected County Functions In South Dakota, Burdette V. Blumer

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

South Dakota had a greater number of local governments per 100,000 inhabitants than any other state in the United States in 1962.1 This fact suggests the existence of economic inefficiency in the operation of local governments in South Dakota. The people of South Dakota are demanding more services form their governments in South Dakota. The people of South Dakota are demanding more services from their governments. Governmental functions are becoming more expensive, partly because of providing more and higher quality services, and thus the taxes are increasing.2 Taxes are of constant concern, perhaps greater concern than usual, among the people …


A Study Of Seventh And Eighth Grade Home Economics Programs In South Dakota With Implications For Curriculum Development, Lacquita Olson Wagner Jan 1967

A Study Of Seventh And Eighth Grade Home Economics Programs In South Dakota With Implications For Curriculum Development, Lacquita Olson Wagner

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

One of the basic requirements of curriculum building is a clear and concise understanding of social, economic and technological developments which influence the American way of life. In fact curriculum revision is needed because of these rapid changes which are often so rapid that the educator has difficultly interpreting their implications. A first step in curriculum reorganization according to Trump and Baynham involves an analysis of what is being tought and studied by students.9 It was with this thought in mind that the writer developed a questionnaire which was sent to teachers in the public schools teaching homemaking in the …

During the Fall Semester of 1965 and again during the Fall Semester of 1966, programing was used to help incoming freshmen deficient in English eliminate their major weaknesses in understanding grammar and in recognizing basic principles of usage and punctuation. In assessing the effectiveness of these presentations, the results of various testing instruments used in each presentation were studied. In addition, the study investigated the relationship between the scores on …


A Comparison Of The Social Criticism In Melville's Typee And Thoreau's Walden, Mary Riedy Jan 1967

A Comparison Of The Social Criticism In Melville's Typee And Thoreau's Walden, Mary Riedy

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Herman Melville and Henry David Thoreau are two of the most original American authors who appeared during the first half of the nineteenth century. Although the writings of both Melville and Thoreau have been examined extensively in scholarship, little has been done in the way of attempting a comparison of their work. In fact, Melville and Thoreau was an avowed member of the Transcendentalist movement, which Melville openly opposed.1 There are, indeed, many dissimilarities between the two writers. Thoreau belonged to the Concord group of authors, while Melville did not. Melville was primarily a novelist while Thoreau’s prose works were …
