A School District Reorganization Plan For Brookings County, South Dakota, Lawrence A. Carlson Jan 1962

A School District Reorganization Plan For Brookings County, South Dakota, Lawrence A. Carlson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

One of the most significant and challenging problems now facing many state school systems is that of reorganizing the school districts into larger and more efficient local school administrative units. Leading educators have recognized the need for reorganization of school districts into larger administrative units. Although some school district reorganization plans have been passed by state legislatures during the past few years, reorganization has made relatively slow progress. The purpose of this study is to: (1) make a survey of the 1960-1961 school district organizational system in Brookings County, South Dakota; (2) make a comparison of the 1960-1961 organizational system …


A Study Of Disturbed And Maladjusted Indian Children, Winifred T. Echelberger Jan 1962

A Study Of Disturbed And Maladjusted Indian Children, Winifred T. Echelberger

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In this study of disturbed and maladjusted Indian children, the author hoped to show that there is a need for more knowledge in this field, that there is an increase in the number of emotionally upset Indian children, and that the socio-economic structure of the home area is a contributing factor in the problem. The results of a questionnaire showed that other workers with Indian youth did indeed feel that there are a large number of disturbed and maladjusted Indian children in many areas where Indian citizens comprise a high percentage of the general population such as many areas in …

A Comparison Of The Use And Acceptance Of Phototypesetting With Other Typesetting Processes Among Commercial Publishers And University Presses, Mark F. Guldin

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The first objective of this study was to determine the degree of acceptance of the phototypesetting process among commercial publishers by comparing this process to the hot-metal and cold-type processes. Two immediate factors that would seemingly affect this acceptance would be the size of the publisher and whether or not the publisher operated his own composing room. The second objective was to determine to what degree acceptance of phototypesetting was influenced by the size of the publisher. The third objective was to determine to what extend acceptance was influenced by a composing room operating. The fourth objective was to discover …


The Effect Of Methandrostenolone On The Uptake Of Radio-Phosphorus In Rat Molars, Dennis Robert Hoogland Jan 1962

The Effect Of Methandrostenolone On The Uptake Of Radio-Phosphorus In Rat Molars, Dennis Robert Hoogland

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

There is probably no disease that is more common to every man, woman, and child than dental caries. Although caries is not a serious disease in terms of fatalities, it remains as one of modern medicine’s most common un-curable diseases and one of modern man’s most consistent medical expenses. To find a cure for dental caries is a very complex problem. Of particular interest is the relation of protein to the structure of the tooth and the decay process. The purpose of this paper was to duplicate experimental conditions in an earlier study conducted by Shaw and Bailey. Their study …


A Comparison And Evaluation Of Graphic Arts Information Services, Richard D. Kast Jan 1962

A Comparison And Evaluation Of Graphic Arts Information Services, Richard D. Kast

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Information storage and retrieval has become one of the major problems facing the graphic arts industry today. It is the main purpose of this study to determine if there may be a need for a “centralized” information service for the graphic arts industry. Perhaps there is this need if there are indications of overlapping, duplication, and diffusion of effort on the part of information centers now servicing the industry. This study will in no way attempt to show how such a service should be established due to the complexity of the undertaking. The ultimate objective is limited to determining if …

A Study Of Data-Processing Applications In The Printing Industry, Gyan P. Madan

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The printing industry is one of the major industries of the nation and is expected to continue growing. However, the growth in the printing industry did not happen by itself.

One such tool is the use of data-processing machines, referred to as computers. The overall objective of this investigation is to evaluate the subject of data-processing as a modern business tool which can provide printing management with more timely and usable reports …

A Study Of The Coverage Of The Newburgh, N.Y., Welfare Story By 10 Of The Nation's "Best" Newspapers In Terms Of Social Responsibility, Dan W. Johnson Jan 1962

A Study Of The Coverage Of The Newburgh, N.Y., Welfare Story By 10 Of The Nation's "Best" Newspapers In Terms Of Social Responsibility, Dan W. Johnson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study is to attempt to determine in what degree 10 of the nation’s “best” newspapers met their responsibility to spread knowledge deeply in their coverage of a leading story in Newburgh, NY. Newburgh’s city manager and council attempted to implement a 13-point welfare program that would require welfare recipients to collect their checks at a police station amongst other mandates. Critics argued that this unfairly targeted the black minority. One must question how responsible was press coverage of the Newburgh welfare story? For the purpose of this study, a period of two months was selected on …


Development Of An Attitude Rating Scale For Use In The Printing Industry, Charles T. Melvin Jan 1962

Development Of An Attitude Rating Scale For Use In The Printing Industry, Charles T. Melvin

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

An interest in devising a rating scale for determining the attitudes of printers toward the printing industry, and a conviction that such a scale would be of great value to the industry for rating employee attitudes and to schools of printing for rating student attitudes have led to the undertaking of this thesis. This thesis developed a test for rating employees’ attitudes toward the printing industry. The attitude scale developed in this study was experimentally tested for its reliability and validity on the printers in Fresno, California. Fresno is an industrial and agricultural center, a city of dynamic population growth, …


A Study Of The Kranzburg Soils With Particular Regard To The Clay Separate, Elden Everett Macnamara Jan 1962

A Study Of The Kranzburg Soils With Particular Regard To The Clay Separate, Elden Everett Macnamara

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Soils are the product of the interaction of five main factors – climate, parent material, relief, time, and the biosphere. One of the ways fundamental differences between soils may be recognized is by the nature of the suite of clay minerals that characterize soils. The basic purposes of this study were to characterize the clay mineral composition of two selected soils of eastern South Dakota and thereby to reveal whether difference exist between clay mineral complexes in soils which are similar in all respects except the age of the parent material. The Kranzburg soils are Chernozems from eastern South Dakota. …


A Study Of Phosphate-Selenite Interrelationships Using Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, Mearl C. Mahl Jan 1962

A Study Of Phosphate-Selenite Interrelationships Using Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, Mearl C. Mahl

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Although much of the work concerning anion uptake by yeast has been done with cake yeast, the majority of the studies reported in this thesis were performed using a pure culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Two media are described which produce a sufficient number of yeast cells possessing good phosphate and selenite uptake properties. A study of the relative rates of the uptake of phosphate, selenite, selenate, and sulfate shows phosphate anions to be absorbed at a much faster rate than others. Thirty minutes after its addition, selenite appeared to be inhibitory to the cells. Selenate was also inhibitory to the …


A Cost Comparison And Profit Margin Study Of Six South Dakota Printing Firms In Five Major Population Areas, William H. Smith Jan 1962

A Cost Comparison And Profit Margin Study Of Six South Dakota Printing Firms In Five Major Population Areas, William H. Smith

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This study should be helpful in suggesting various ways in which commercial printers in the general area of the plants studied might review their businesses by comparing cost figures, ratios, and profit margins wit firms in other states. From a thorough study of the material gathered from each plant, and by comparing costs and dollar volume, areas hitherto vaguely noticed as “leaks” in profit margin may be studied, and corrective measures taken. Six firms were chosen for this study from five of the larger cities in the state of South Dakota. A questionnaire was used in conjunction with on-site interviews. …
