A Survey Of The Extent Of Adult Homemaking Education In Vocationally Approved High Schools In South Dakota With Implications For Possible Expansion, Marlene Olson Westby
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to learn the extent of adult homemaking education in vocationally approved high schools in South Dakota and to investigate opinions concerning possibilities for increasing the adult homemaking program. Analysis of the data from the returned questionnaires revealed that, while homemaking education for adults is available as a part of the vocational program in some high schools in South Dakota, in the majority of high schools, it is found to be entirely lacking. Of the 109 vocationally approved high schools investigated, 13 offered adult homemaking classes at some time during the three-year period. The majority, …

Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to provide South Dakota Dairy producers and others interested in establishing large scale dairy operations with a more complete set of guide lines that will help them to determine the profitableness of expanding existing or establishing new dairy producing units. It is hoped that many management problems, encountered by existing or previous “cow pools” can either be eliminated or greatly reduced in future large scale dairy operations. An average of the four surveyed 8-140 cow dairy herds and eight model dairy systems were analyzed in this study. The three objectives were to: (1) determine …

Of additional interest was the graduates’ concepts of needed services and additional subject areas conceived from deficiencies encountered in post-high school undertaking. Answers to specific questions were sought. When did graduates marry and how many children did they …
An Analysis Of Current Printing Programs At Southern Negro Universities And Colleges Granting The Bachelor Of Science Degree, By Ford Ratcliff
An Analysis Of Current Printing Programs At Southern Negro Universities And Colleges Granting The Bachelor Of Science Degree, By Ford Ratcliff
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Constant evaluation is necessary to determine whether or not an education curriculum is serving the purpose for which it was designed. Curriculum construction is the result of the efforts of one man or a staff of men, usually based upon his or their experience in the field. Because of this fact, the resulting curriculum may be inadequate for the total development of the student in the area of his education. Little, if any, study has been made of Negro universities and colleges with reference to general curricula for printing programs found in such institutions. It is the purpose of this …

Farming Opportunities, Career Choices, And Educational Aspirations Of Farm Boys In South Dakota, Kenneth J. Ostroot
Farming Opportunities, Career Choices, And Educational Aspirations Of Farm Boys In South Dakota, Kenneth J. Ostroot
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A drive through any part of South Dakota will reveal that many farmsteads are vacant. Empty farmsteads are evidence that farmers have quit farming. The agricultural census shows that the number of South Dakota farms is decreasing and the average size of farms is increasing. Farmers have found it profitable to increase the size of farm units, and they have been able to operate larger units by substituting capital for labor. AS a result, entry into farming is becoming more difficult as opportunities are fewer, capital required to enter has increased, and operations have become more specialized. Farm boys in …

This study will deal primarily with one facet of the three means of selection, that is, the college academic record. This study will attempt to show the relationship, or lack of, between …

The Relationship Of Selected Characteristics Of Farm Operators To Attitudes Toward Retirement, Wayne L. Larson
The Relationship Of Selected Characteristics Of Farm Operators To Attitudes Toward Retirement, Wayne L. Larson
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A recent development in the social and economic history of the United States is the evolvement of an institutionalized stage of retirement in the life cycle of the average worker. In the early part of the twentieth century, retirement was not considered a major problem in our society. However, the number and proportion of people surviving to “post-retirement” age has been increasing steadily in both the rural and urban population. This is due, primarily, to declining mortality. Declining fertility, prior to World War II, has also had some effect on the increase in the proportion of people over 65 years …

Dairy Product Demand Projections To 1975: Their Impact On South Dakota's Dairy Industry, Norman R. Kallemeyn
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The economic history of the United States is replete with examples of adjustment and readjustment by firms and industries. Such adjustments are usually made necessary by changes in the economic environment, and failure to adjust rather quickly and completely to such changes can mean economic disaster for entrepreneurs within an industry, and can result in insufficiencies in the total economic system. To offset the effects of change, it is often advantageous to attempt to foresee change in the economic environment, to estimate the future impact of change on relevant sectors of the production and marketing system, and to recommend adjustments …

The Effect Of Immersion In A Heated Whirlpool Bath Upon Reaction Time, Arm And Shoulder Girdle Strength, And General Endurance, Dennis Leroy Hegle
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The use of hydrotherapy as a relief against such common minor discomforts as muscle stiffness or muscle soreness has long been advocated by athletic trainers and physical therapists. It is known to have gotten its start as early as World War I in France where it was used as a therapeutic agent for war casualties suffering from gunshot wounds. In athletic training, a question which very often arises is whether or not the whirlpool method of therapy should be used on an individual within a few hours prior to participation in physical activities requiring muscular strength, endurance and quick muscular …
A Comparison Of Motor Abilities Of Normal And Mentally Retarded Children, Dwayne G. Head
A Comparison Of Motor Abilities Of Normal And Mentally Retarded Children, Dwayne G. Head
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The problem of education for the mentally retarded is fast becoming a major problem in the field of education. According to the United States Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, 126,000, or 3 out of every 100 children born in United States each year, are mentally retarded. Proper education for the mentally retarded child presents a problem. Presently, the retarded child is completely segregated from the normal child in the academic subjects; however, the mentally retarded child is integrated with the normal student in physical education classes. The theory behind this practice is that retarded students would be able to …
Vitamin A And Carotene Requirements Of Fattening Beef Cattle, Thomas M. Hansen
Vitamin A And Carotene Requirements Of Fattening Beef Cattle, Thomas M. Hansen
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
During the last 25 years, several experiments have been conducted to study the amount of vitamin A and carotene needed by cattle. More emphasis has been devoted to carotene since cattle rations contain varying amounts of this precursor of vitamin A. Increasing market demands for lightweight cattle have brought about changes in methods of feeding. Cattle are being fattened rapidly at young ages using rations which contain a large amount of concentrates. Such rations are often low in carotene and need vitamin A or carotene supplementation. Recently, several research workers have questioned the adequacy of present recommended vitamin A and …

A Comparison Of Some Limnological Changes Caused By The Brookings Sewage Treatment Plant On Six-Mile Creek And The Big Sioux River, Richard Ruelle
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Introduction: In the days of the early pioneers in South Dakota and other sparsely settled areas, there was no problem in finding a sufficient supply of water for drinking, cooking, and washing purposes. The problems of waste disposal were taken care of by the microorganisms in the soil, the microorganisms easily being able to keep pace with the few settlers. As cities and towns began to form, usually along a stream where there was an abundant supply of fresh water, sewage disposal became a growing problem. The easiest way to get rid of the sewage was to dump it into …
