The Complexity Of Roman Suicide, Carmine Anthony Ruff Jan 1974

The Complexity Of Roman Suicide, Carmine Anthony Ruff

Master's Theses

Several factors have influenced research on the topic of ancient suicide. In the last ten years suicide has reached almost epidemic proportions in the U.S.A. In 1967 there were 21,325 reported suicides, or almost eleven suicides for every 100,000 people in the United States. In 1974 there will be over 25,000 people who take their lives; the actual total probably is at least twice or maybe triple this number, since many suicides are labeled accidental. For every recorded suicide there are at least eight attempts. The problem of suicide is fast becoming a symptom of modern living, especially in the …


Langerhans Cells And The Architecture Of The Epidermis In The Chick And Mouse, William Clyde Williams Jan 1974

Langerhans Cells And The Architecture Of The Epidermis In The Chick And Mouse, William Clyde Williams

Master's Theses

For more than a century, Langerhans cells have been known to occur in the mammalian epidermis. Experimental evidence has shown that their origin is ectodermal (Reams and Tompkins, 1973). Almost nothing ls known of their function. Mackenzie ( 1972) has shown a good correlation between the arrangement of epidermal Langerhans cells in the mouse and the ordered structure of the epidermis into columns. He has suggested that Langerhans cells might serve as an active organizer of epidermal structure.

As chickens do not have epidermal Langerhans cells, the present histological study was undertaken to compare the epidermal architecture of chick and …


Milton's Eve : A Comparison With Eve In The Major Analogues Preceding Paradise Lost, Charlene Dellinger Wheeler Jan 1974

Milton's Eve : A Comparison With Eve In The Major Analogues Preceding Paradise Lost, Charlene Dellinger Wheeler

Master's Theses

Milton's character of Eve in Paradise Lost has been interpreted by critics as both the vehicle for Milton's abuse of women, and the example of Milton's favoritism towards them. The great variety of interpretations of the same character seems to be the result of not considering Milton's Eve as a combination of qualities gathered from both the Biblical and literary traditions and influenced by Milton's theological beliefs and his intentions for Paradise Lost. By comparing Milton's Eve with her major predecessors, this thesis will interpret Milton's characterization according to the literary history of the character, and show how Milton's particular …


An Analysis Of The Implementation Of The Nongraded Program At The New Port Richey Seventh-Day Adventist Elementary School, Erik S. Vetne Jan 1974

An Analysis Of The Implementation Of The Nongraded Program At The New Port Richey Seventh-Day Adventist Elementary School, Erik S. Vetne

Master's Theses

Problem

Seventh-day Adventist schools have long been dissatisfied with the graded school as an answer to educational organization which would be in harmony with the writing of one of the founders of the church, Ellen G. White. Nongraded teaching seems to incorporate many of the ideas presented in her writings as a guideline for Seventh-day Adventist schools. It was the purpose of the present study to determine the attitudes of parents, students, and board members before and after implementation of a nongraded program.

Method

The parents and school board members completed the attitude questionnaires constructed by Gumper (1971, p. 253-257) …


A Multi-Sensory Approach To Teaching Spelling To Learning Disabled Children, Judith M. Meuleman Jan 1974

A Multi-Sensory Approach To Teaching Spelling To Learning Disabled Children, Judith M. Meuleman

Master's Theses

Problem

Learning disabled children are receiving increasing attention, for despite an intelligence quotient within the normal range, they are not achieving in school as well as their peers. The reasons offered for this phenomenon seem to relate to perceptual problems. Specific learning disabilities occur in reading, arithmetic, spelling, handwriting and other motor coordination areas. This study investigates the effect of a multi-sensory method of teaching spelling to learning disabled children using sandpaper letters to utilize the tactile and kinesthetic sensory modalities.

Method

Unfamiliar spelling words were taught to 40 learning disabled children, 38 boys and 2 girls. The children were …

A Study Of The Factors Which Have Determined Access To Secondary School Education In Trinidad & Tobago, Lionel Lawrence

Master's Theses

Statement of the Problem

In Trinidad and Tobago, about twenty-five to thirty thousand children of the ten to eleven-plus age group, in their attempt to obtain a free place in one of the government or assisted secondary schools, present themselves annually to write the Common Entrance Examination, a selective examination administered by the Ministry of Education and Culture. School places have been available, within the decade, for about 3,000 to 6,000 new entrants from the primary schools, but recently the number has increased to over 10,000 with the introduction of a two-shift system in new. Junior Secondary Schools. ' These …


A Comparative Study Of The Vocabulary Of Five Basal Reading Series, Judith O. Young Jan 1974

A Comparative Study Of The Vocabulary Of Five Basal Reading Series, Judith O. Young

Master's Theses

Introduction

Much emphasis is being placed on the teaching of reading today, and yet students are still needing remedial help. The author's interest in the vocabulary comparability of basal reading textbooks began when trying to place a remedial student into a corresponding level in another basal series—there was no way to know if the vocabulary levels corresponded.

Through professional discussions with others it was found that many had faced this same problem with two types of students: l) Those transferring to a new school from a school system using another basal series; and, 2) Those needing additional remedial help. This …
