Statement of the problem. This study was undertaken to find information that might reveal the possible causes of underachievement in the eighth grade of large urban high school for the year 1962-1963.

The Status Of The Virginia High School Assistant Principal, Leonard J. Rogers

Master's Theses

Early secondary schools were relatively small and made few demands on the principal's time. With the growth of the schools the responsibilities of the principal have grown proportionately. As these responsibilities increased, it became necessary for him to share these duties with an assistant. This assistant began taking over routine activities mostly those of a clerical nature. As the schools continued to grow he began assuming duties in the realm of supervision and administration. To be effective he needed to be as dedicated, as perceptive and as well trained as the principal himself.

Leisure Time In Eighteenth-Century Virginia, Andrew Jackson Johnson

Master's Theses

Eighteenth-century Virginia was strikingly agrarian. Tobacco planting on the plantations and farms created an ever-increasing need for new land. The growth of a dispersed rural society reacted against the formation of urban focal units and a middle class. This society did create, because of the endemic loneliness of the country, a people who desired companionship and proved to be gregarious and convivial.

The hospitality for which Virginians are well known was very much in evidence at this period and served in a subtle way to offer diversion to both guest and host. Travelers were invited to the plantations and farms …

Some Factors Involved In Growth And Sporulation Of Pilobolus Crystallinus Tode And Pilobolus Umbonatus Buller, Kenneth L. Poff

Master's Theses

Pilobolus umbonatus Buller and P. crystallinus Tode grew normally in a nitrogen atmosphere but their sporagnia were non-pigmented. When palced in anaerobic jars along with obligately anaerobic and obligately aerobic bacteria, the fungi grew in the range of oxygen concentrations too low for growth of the aerobic bacterium, but high enough to prevent growth of the anaerobe. The fungi did not grow when the oxygen was depleted to the point that allowed growth of the anaerobic bacterium. Catalase was not produced by the hyphae and trophocysts which normally grow beneath the surface of the medium, but was present in the …

An Analysis Of The Principal Media Of Exchange Used In Colonial Virginia, John Robert Chappell

Master's Theses

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the principal media of exchange used in Virginia during the Colonial period, showing why these media were used and how adequately or inadequately they performed the function of money.

The role of credit as a medium of exchange will be touched on only briefly, although its importance is recognized.

Current Proposals For Changes In Reserve Requirements Of Commercial Banks In The United States, William Byrd Harrison

Master's Theses

The well-being of a nation is dependent in large part upon the state of its money. Bank reserve positions have a great deal to do with the state of our money. An impressive volume of study and evidence has been brought forth in just the past few years to indicate that United States laws which establish the rules under which financial institutions operate need revising. Other, more readily understood topics, however, however claimed the attention of the public and its representatives in Congress. Little has been done to remedy serious shortcomings in banking laws.

This paper examines briefly these studies …

Creativity And The Lowenfeld Mosaic Test With First, Second And Third Grade Children, Shelby Hargrave Cooke

Master's Theses

Based on the findings of the Walker study of the Lowenfield Mosaic test (1957) and the [other] studies of creativity, the following hypotheses may be made. Creative children will make original or novel designs and show complex use of color and shape. Their designs will be more asymmetrical in shape and placement and contain a greater number of places than the designs of noncreative children. They will make representational rather than abstract designs, and their human and animal figures will show motion.

Influences Of Independency In Milton's Early Life, Peter A. Edmunds

Master's Theses

My thesis is that Milton did develop in his youth, mainly under the influence or Dr. Gill, a belief in his own reason as an arbitrator in theological disputes. It is this characteristic advanced Protestant view that transcends church and king together with his plea for toleration and his attack on the clergy in "Lycidas" that place him in this early period already somewhat in the tradition or deism suggested by Toland . When Thomas Paine, the revolutionary deist, wrote in The Age of Reason, "My mind is my own church," he was stating a basic belief of Milton. Thomas …

The Prospectus And Offering Circular As Sources Of Investment Information, Bernard L. Webb

Master's Theses

The purpose of this study is to determine the adequacy and reliability of information contained in the prospectus or offering circular issued in connection with new issues of common stocks. The study will be limited to issues of corporations that are just "going public." That is, the first public offering of securities by corporations that have previously been privately owned.

The study will be made from the viewpoint of the purchaser or prospective purchaser of such securities. Since most of the firms concerned in such issues are relatively new and untried, most purchasers are seeking price appreciation rather than income. …

The Military Career Of Colonel William Ranson Johnson Pegram, C.S.A., Beverly Blair Mcdowell

Master's Theses

My initial introduction to Colonel Pegram was facilitated by the reading of Lee's Lieutenants, that monumental work on the Army of Northern Virginia, by Doctor Douglas Southall Freeman. One obscure footnote on page 674, volume Ill attracted my attention and imagination. Doctor Freeman states in this subscript that "Willie" Pegram deserves a biography. This study is an attempt to partially meet that challenge; however, I use the word "partially", for a complete biography would of necessity include more materials on the subject's early life. The major emphasis here is on his military career in Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. The …
