Periodicals Printed In South Dakota From Territorial Beginning Through 1930, With A Check List Of Periodicals, Maxine Schrader Wiseman

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The problems of this thesis are: first, to trace the chronological development of periodicals printed in South Dakota from the date of the first known periodical printed in Dakota Territory through December 31, 1930; second, to study the types of periodicals produced; and third, to compile a check list as complete as possible of South Dakota periodicals during the period chosen for study. The date December 31, 1930 was chosen as a convenient cut-off date since few periodicals began after that date. The chronological development of those magazines published before 1930 was continued until suspension or to the present date. …

Variations In Motor Fitness Resulting From Calisthenic Exercises, Donald R. Hilsendager

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Motor fitness development of high school students by the use of various physical activities has been of major interest to physical educators for many years and has received national interest in recent years. Ray Weiss reported 13 Unites States army officers present at the Third Annual Physical Fitness Institute expressed grave concern regarding our schools’ responsibilities in fitness. Carl A. Troeater Jr. had this to say about the present day felt need for fitness: “Few educators need to be convinced of the importance of fitness in our youth. For the past ten years, a deluge of newspaper and magazine articles …

A Comparison Of The Influence Of Three Types Of Illustrative Material And No Illustrative Material On Usage Of Agricultural Extension Service Releases By South Dakota Weekly Newspapers, Gerald Lou Grotta

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

News releases compiled and distributed by an information service must appear in print if they are to convey the desired information to the public. This study was conducted to determine the influence of illustrative material on the use by South Dakota weekly newspapers of news releases of the Agricultural Extension Service at South Dakota State College. The research was designed to compare, on the basis of usage, releases accompanied by the three most common forms of illustrative material (glossy photographs, mats, and plastic engravings) with the same releases when unaccompanied by illustrative material. According to Lipscome: Pictures in the hometown …


A Study Of Seventh Grade Problems Compiled Into A Check List, Catherine Thurston Jan 1960

A Study Of Seventh Grade Problems Compiled Into A Check List, Catherine Thurston

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The transaction from the sixth to the seventh grade for the early adolescent has been a long recognized problem. Various schools have tried different methods to make it smooth and more pleasant since this is a critical period physically, emotionally, and socially because of the changes taking place within the individual. The curriculum has been changed and shaped around the needs of the early adolescent. Recent courses in guidance and years of experience in teaching have pointed out the fact clearly that the early adolescence has many concealed problems with which they are wrestling, and from which they seek relief. …


An Analysis Of Front Page News Pertaining To Juveniles In South Dakota Daily Newspapers For The First Three Months Of 1960 With Regard To Favorable And Unfavorable Content, Harlan S. Stensaas Jan 1960

An Analysis Of Front Page News Pertaining To Juveniles In South Dakota Daily Newspapers For The First Three Months Of 1960 With Regard To Favorable And Unfavorable Content, Harlan S. Stensaas

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Newspapers have often been accused of emphasizing the sensational giving minimum attention to the non-violent or “good” news in which young people are involved. Evidence to support or to disprove such accusations has, however, been lacking. The accusations have evidently been made on a basis of casual, informal observation of the media and on the basis of public opinion polls. The teen age group, then, is in the public eye and the impression which the public gets is perhaps obtained largely through the mass media. The question which arises would be, “is the press fair in its presentation by Gilbert …


Changes In Cardiovascular Condition Resulting From An Eight Week Training Program As Shown By The Cameron Heartometer, Merle L. Foss Jan 1960

Changes In Cardiovascular Condition Resulting From An Eight Week Training Program As Shown By The Cameron Heartometer, Merle L. Foss

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The effect of different activities and conditioning exercises on the cardiovascular system has been the basis for many recent studies by physical educators and physiologists. No doubt much of this research has been prompted by statements such as that by Reidman, “An athlete is only as good as his heart.” Reidman reasoned that the ability of the athlete to perform work was dependent in large measure on the ability of the heart to supply oxygen to the muscles. This, in turn, was dependent upon two factors: (1) the capacity of exertion, and (2) the ability of the heart to return …


An Investigation Of Production Control Systems And Methods Used In Selected Small Commercial Printing Plants, Donald Nelso Rollo Jan 1960

An Investigation Of Production Control Systems And Methods Used In Selected Small Commercial Printing Plants, Donald Nelso Rollo

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The subject of production control systems in small commercial printing plants is a fascinating one to this author. It involves employment of every management technique that has been devised by manufacturing production engineers. Commercial printing activities are defined as all these printing plants producing a printed product on a jobbing bagels. Further clarification of printing industry activities is the separation of printing and publishing activities; publishing being limited to the printing of newspapers, magazines, books and miscellaneous items of like nature. Jobbing shops are those whose operations are usually of a non- repressive nature, becomes the output is not produced …


Response Of Feeder Lambs To Diehtylstilbestrol, Diallyldiethylstilbestrol, Diallylhexestrol, Dynafac And Animal Fat, Donald House Reid Jan 1960

Response Of Feeder Lambs To Diehtylstilbestrol, Diallyldiethylstilbestrol, Diallylhexestrol, Dynafac And Animal Fat, Donald House Reid

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Livestock feeders operate on a narrow margin of profit. Their profit generally depends on rapid and efficient live weight gains rather than on a wide spread between buying and selling price of the animals. The need for efficient meat production has prompted agricultural scientists to develop and investigate a desperate array of compounds having growth stimulating properties and thereby aid the livestock feeder in improving rate and efficiency of gain. The market situation of inedible animal fats has changed dramatically in recent years. Lard and tallow are not currently used to the extent that they once were in the manufacturing …


Effects Of Irrigation And Fertilization On Alfalfa Yield And Quality, Donald J. Brosz Jan 1960

Effects Of Irrigation And Fertilization On Alfalfa Yield And Quality, Donald J. Brosz

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The quality of agricultural products is a concern of the American farmer. Quality alone often decides the market value of his product and may be the deciding issue in his net profit. So that he may demand top prices, the producer of bread wheat must produce a grain which is high in protein because high protein wheat is required by flour mills for high grade flour. The farmer raising barley, however, may have to aim for low protein grain since this is the most desirable for the malting industry. The shape, size, and cooking quality of potatoes seems to improve …


The Relationship Of Selected Factors To The Personal Adjustment Of Residents Of Homes For Aged In Eastern South Dakota, Darlien G. Klug Jan 1960

The Relationship Of Selected Factors To The Personal Adjustment Of Residents Of Homes For Aged In Eastern South Dakota, Darlien G. Klug

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

To say that the problems of aging are universal, touching all of all culture at one time or another, appears to be something of a truism. Yet, short of birth and death, scarcely any part of the pattern of living affects all mankind to so great degree. With added years come decrease in physical vigor, declining health, and increased imminence of death- all conditions to which the aging must adjust. In American society these problems are particularly acute, largely because of the predominantly urban and industrial character of our culture. In South Dakota, particularly, growing numbers of elder citizens give …

A Study Of Selected Factors Related To Level Of Living On The Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Joseph F. Powers Jan 1960

A Study Of Selected Factors Related To Level Of Living On The Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Joseph F. Powers

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The eager spread of Western society with its insatiable desire for new lands and raw materials has brought with it an exposure to cultures often diametrically opposed to western concepts and attitudes. As contact with alien cultures was made, resistance to plans for “progress” was often experienced and the “primitive” peoples were judged to be irrational savages. The westward advance of our fore-father is written across the pages of history in the bold of the American Indians. “When our ancestors landed on this continent they first fell upon their knees and then upon the aborigines.” Needless to say, the Indian …


A Status Survey Of The Requirements Of Thirteen Teacher Training Institutions Offering Baccalaureate Degrees In Elementary Education, Kenneth Ellwood Fritz Jan 1960

A Status Survey Of The Requirements Of Thirteen Teacher Training Institutions Offering Baccalaureate Degrees In Elementary Education, Kenneth Ellwood Fritz

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The demand for more and better qualified teachers has risen sharply in the past decade. The increasing population of the United States has been one factor contributing heavily to this demand. Another factor having considerable influence in recent years is the “Sputnik scare” brought forth by the launching of the Russian satellite on October 4, 1957. Particularly since that time, the American public has been more education conscious than in the past. The demand for a better quality in teaching has been more noticeable than in the past. It has been in the field of mathematics and science that the …


An Analysis Of Newspaper Usage Of 188 News Releases Issued By The South Dakota Department Of Game, Fish And Parks, Marshall Gall Jan 1960

An Analysis Of Newspaper Usage Of 188 News Releases Issued By The South Dakota Department Of Game, Fish And Parks, Marshall Gall

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The publicity writer or information specialist is charged with informing as many people as possible about the institution for which he works—whether it is a government agency, a university or a commercial enterprise. To do this, he channels his supply of information to as many outlets as possible—radio, television, and as many newspapers as might conceivably have use for the material. This puts the publicity writer at a disadvantage in the matter of knowing his public. He cannot read all the newspapers, listen to all the radio newscasters, nor watch all the television programs that receive his material. Therefore he …


A Study Of The Provisions Made For The Gifted Students In Public Secondary Schools In Eastern South Dakota, Mervin J. Healy Jan 1960

A Study Of The Provisions Made For The Gifted Students In Public Secondary Schools In Eastern South Dakota, Mervin J. Healy

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

For some time educators have been concerned with the problems of the gifted student and with the problems these students present our schools. For the most part of our schools are geared to the average student and educators have been cognizant of the possible waste of rich human resources. Many persons feel that the gifted students of South Dakota, as well as other states, are entitled, by virtue of our democracy, to a full development of their potentials. When better education for our youth is spoken of, one must keep this thought uppermost in mind: good education is the best …
