Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Factors Influencing The Consolidation Of Cooperative Creameries In South Dakota, Ivan R. Hanson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

For several years, the dairy industry has been making an adjustment to consumer demand. The per capita consumption of butter declined from 17.3 pounds in 1939 to 9.2 pounds in 1955.

Comparative Effects Of Two Different Physical Education Programs Upon The Physical Fitness And Motor Educability Of Ninth And Tenth Grade Boys, Charles Russell Reynolds

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The matter of being physically fit is not just that of building muscles. Although strengthening exercises are a very important part of a developmental program, the results attained for the individual go beyond this more apparent phase of the process. Along with increasing strength, other such benefits include increased organic vigor, stamina, poise, and an improved mental outlook. Many investigations during the past twenty-five years have substantiated these assumptions. Thus, one of the physical educator’s prime duties is to increase his pupils’ muscular strength, which is basic to all other growth and development. The importance of physical fitness was brought …

Culture And Conflict In Israel., Hannah Scoggin

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Times Square went mad with noise and excitement, and a small freighter slipped from its Brooklyn berth into the drama of the night. It was December 31, 1949--midnight-January 1, 1950; and I was on my way to the world in general and Israel and the Near East in particular. To say the words Near East, to hear them spoken, to read the combination of Latin letters, even to think them fleetingly can conjure up for me a haze of incense-tinged dreams in which I see exotic sights, breathe pungent odours, and hear mysterious sounds. The Near East is all this …
