In this study, the writer intends to look at an increasingly common factor in college life—the possession of automobiles by college students and to see what, if any, significance it bears as a deterrent from study. …

Why South Dakota And Minnesota Vocational Agriculture Instructors Have Remained In The Profession, Roger A. Heller

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

It is quite obvious that any person who remains in a certain occupation or profession for some length of time does so for one or more specific reasons.

The Research Bulletin for Education in South Dakota indicates that of the 7345 teachers in our public and parochial schools in 1952-53, a total of 1912 did not return to South Dakota classrooms for the 1953-54 school year.
