All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The agricultural interests of the United States and Utah have experienced some trying situations during the past quarter century. Periods of depression followed by periods of expansion and prosperity have resulted in a condition of instability and insecurity in agriculture.

Obviously, the best insurance that can be provided against blundering on the part of the individual preparing to take up his burden of work is wise counsel and guidance during the formative period of his life.

It is the duty, however of high school teachers to provide a student organization which will give every student a chance to express himself constructively, but an organization surely built which at every opportunity will utilize its own power to settle its own difficulties.

It is impossible and impracticable to include in the high school program a comprehensive study in each of the social sciences. And yet, it is unjust to the pupil that his knowledge of social facts and especially democracy should be limited. …
