Culture And Conflict In Israel., Hannah Scoggin Jun 1956

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 …


The Virgil Independent School District And Reorganization, Kenneth E. Bandy Jan 1956

The Virgil Independent School District And Reorganization, Kenneth E. Bandy

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The Virgil Independent School District, Virgil, South Dakota is a small school district as are so many in South Dakota. The district has attempted over a period of thirty years to provide the high-school educational facilities need for its children and for the children in the surrounding community. Immediately following World War II the cost of providing an adequate education began to rise. A bond issue in 1946 prolonged the financial inadequacy until 1952. At this time the school board decided some ways or means must be found to provide a solution to the school district’s financial problems or the …


A Determination Of Relationship Between Seven Known Factors And A Student's Success In Debate, Kenneth J. Erickson Jan 1956

A Determination Of Relationship Between Seven Known Factors And A Student's Success In Debate, Kenneth J. Erickson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

High school principals consider the state championship debaters to be outstanding in every respect: in scholarship, leadership, personality, activities, and professional success after high school. These debaters have distinctive personalities and demonstrate leadership both in and outside of the classroom. The principals evaluated these students as scholastic leaders, with many of them receiving university scholarships upon graduation from high school. The superior intelligence of the group was acknowledged. It is apparent that school administrators consider the championship debaters to have been the distinguished citizens in their schools. Personal contact with debaters and debate coaches throughout the state of South Dakota …

Factors Affecting Prices Received By South Dakota Egg Producers : A Pilot Study, J. Patrick Brown

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

South Dakota egg producers have long been faced with the fact that they receive the lowest average prices per dozen of any state, with the exception of North Dakota. The average price received by South Dakota egg producers from 1950 through 1952 was 31.2 cents per dozen as compared with a national average of 41.9 cents per dozen for the same period. It is the role of this pilot study at the producer level to (1) determine the effect of management (production and handling) and marketing practices on prices received by South Dakota egg producers, (2) compare average prices of …

Locker And Shower Room Facilities Used For Physical Education In Class "A" High Schools In South Dakota, Arthur T. Jansen

This is a survey of the existing locker and shower room facilities for physical education in the larger high schools in South Dakota. The state of South Dakota does not require physical education in its public elementary or secondary schools, but leaders in the field are working toward a goal whereby physical education for all pupils from the first through the twelfth would be required. If such a requirement is made of the present school systems in South Dakota, will the schools be able to handle the increased load, and are they now adequately constructed to handle their present load? …

Present Practices In Grading Boys' Physical Education In Secondary Schools Of Minnesota, North Dakota, And South Dakota, Wayne E. Sinning Jan 1956

Present Practices In Grading Boys' Physical Education In Secondary Schools Of Minnesota, North Dakota, And South Dakota, Wayne E. Sinning

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Very little research has been done on grading in physical education. Most of the work on the subject is composed of methods and suggestions which authors have developed through their own experience. Very little has been done to determine the needs of the instructor in the classroom situation and to adopt procedures to these needs. These needs arise from many different forces at work affecting the methods the instructor uses. Some of these forces are present procedures, the status and credit given to physical education in the individual schools and the present philosophy of the instructors and school administrators. This …

Investigations Of Methyl Donors And Linseed Oil Meal In Alleviating Selenium Poisoning, Eriks Leitis

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The problem of selenium poisoning has been extensively reviewed. Although a considerable amount of work has been done on this problem, the mechanism of the toxic action of selenium is not understood. This work has undertaken as part of an effort to determine the nature of the protective effect of certain substances against selenium poisoning, in that this might aid in understanding its toxic action. The conflicting findings concerning the effectiveness of methionine against selenium poisoning were obtained with a variety of diets and under a variety of other experimental conditions. It appeared, therefore, that certain unknown factors or conditions …


Differential Reaction Of Two Varieties Of Sorghum To Colchicine Treatment, Glenn Francis Atkinson Jan 1956

Differential Reaction Of Two Varieties Of Sorghum To Colchicine Treatment, Glenn Francis Atkinson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The induction of diploid true-breeding mutants by colchicine treatment of a true-breeding variety of sorghum vulgare Pers. Has been reported by Franzke and Ross (9); Ross, Franzke and Schuh (22); and others (7,10). It has been suggested that such mutant plants might result from point mutations made homozygous by a somatic reduction of the chromosomes followed by a doubling of the chromosome number in a cell which organized a growing point after the original one had been inactivated during c-tumor formation. Observations made during the course of routine work with sorghum indicated that after colchicine treatment some varieties produced tetraploids …

By the end of the 1956 Summer Session, twenty-six students will have been granted a Masters Degree in Education and it is likely that …

The Relationship Of Scholastic Achievement To Regularity Of Attendance And Participation In Extra-Curricular Activities In The Brookings High School Senior Class Of 1955, Frank Williams Jan 1956

The Relationship Of Scholastic Achievement To Regularity Of Attendance And Participation In Extra-Curricular Activities In The Brookings High School Senior Class Of 1955, Frank Williams

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The writer in this problem is attempting to establish the relationship of scholastic achievement to regularity of attendance and participation in extra-curricular activities. The Brookings, South Dakota High School senior class of 1955 was selected for this study. Because extra-curricular participation is important, more study should be spent on this phase of education to improve the quality of extra-curricular activities and to encourage more pupil participation. Also, this problem may help establish the importance of regular daily attendance in our public schools and show that those who were in regular attendance attained greater achievement in their school work.

A Study On The Inter-Communication System As Used In South Dakota Schools For The Instruction Of Non-Ambulatory Students From 1951-1956, Samuel Edwin Stein

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

he importance of education in American Society is regarded by many as a concern for a child’s total personality and not just with his absorption of specific information. Our public schools are the basic institutions through which democratic principles are maintained and improved among our people. An institution which deals with such important principles, with so much money and so many people is bound to be faced with many problems. However, one of the problems most difficult to solve has been the education of the exceptional child. Among those included as exceptional children are the blind, partially sighted, deaf, hard-of-hearing, …

Consumption And Preference Patterns For Butter And Margarine In Two South Dakota Cities, Norman L. Rollag
