Christianity Encounters Totalitarianism In Germany, Viola M. Gross

Masters Theses

First paragraph:

The German Church of the twentieth century offers a unique opportunity for study. It has twice faced a totalitarian government and has needed to learn to exist and carry on its witness to the Word of God in the face of almost insurmountable obstacles. The purpose of this paper is to contrast and compare the answer of the Church and the Christian to the National Socialists and to the Communists in East Germany, and to determine if possible if Christianity has learned the way through its desperate struggle in this century to continue its task under a hostile …

The Scientific Movement in Education

It is a well-known fact that for several decades educators have been trying to place the educational profession on as scientific a basis as possible.¹ One outgrowth of this effort has been the “educational measurement movement.” This movement has involved widespread attempts to use objective techniques in solving educational problems, objective measures in obtaining educational data, and to use the data thus obtained as a basis for organizing educational plans and procedures.

Effect Of Unionism On Cost Of Coal, Subrahmanya Padmanabhan

Masters Theses

"Coal is not only the base of our civilization and a key to our continued high standard of living but it is also playing a leading part in the recovery of Europe and other backward nations of the world. Our dependency upon coal as a basic source of energy is growing greater and greater every day. Some day atomic power may be our principal source of energy but the list of technical obstacles that block the way for widespread and commercial use of atomic energy is a long one. Unlike its competitors, such as petroleum and natural gas, the reserves …

Coordination Of Transportation Systems Of The United States, Herman Blickensderfer

Masters Theses

"To any thinking man it must be apparent that the railroads are of vital necessity to the country at large as they can more cheaply move a host of the heavy commodities than can the trucks, and of course the waterways do not and cannot reach every part of the vast territory that must be served. On the other hand it is equally apparent that many of the other types of traffic can be handled more readily and cheaply by truck than by rail. This would lead one to conclude that some way should be found to give to each …
