The author of this study has identified with Negro Public Schools of Grimes County for a period of more than fifty years, and have worked steadily and earnestly as a Negro educator in various schools of Grimes County since 1887.

The Need Of A Vocational Guidance Program In A. J. Moore High School Waco, Texas, Anna Garotha Taylor

All Theses

Vocational guidance is an educational service and as such should be considered an integral part of the educational program carried on by the recognized educational agency of the community. Helping the youth to obtain reliable and significant information upon which to base a choice of occupation, aiding him to find a suitable opportunity to begin work in the occupation of his choice, and giving him additional assistance as needed during the period of adjustment and further training after employment begins, are just as truly educational service as teaching the same youth history or mathematics. The former service often has a …

How The Health Educational Program Of Union Well School Measures Up To The Ideal Present Day Program, Colito Mcgowan Tankersley

All Theses

It is rather significant that most rural teachers accept a pre-arranged health program based upon a certain general assumption concerning the health status of the average rural community. There are certain conditions that characterize the health status of one community which may be entirely opposite to the conditions in another community.

This thesis is written, therefore, because of the somewhat confirmed belief, and the results of teach training experience, that there is need for a rural health program adapted to the needs of a rural school in the Oldham Settlement, Burleson County, Caldwell, Texas.

This thesis consists of four major …

Health Services Provided In The Negro Schools Of Mclennan County, Clarice E. Allen

All Theses

There is nothing more important to a person than health. Unless one is physically fit, it is unreasonable to assume that mental work could be done successfully. For this reason, the school should be as much concerned with the physical development of its pupils as it is concerned with their mental development. If the school fails in providing for the development of its pupils, it is impossible for the school to render the service to society that it should.

It is the purpose of this study to: 1. Ascertain the provisions made for health services in the Negro rural schools, …

A Suggested Health Program For Stoneham Hill Elementary School, Elnora F. Madison

All Theses

Health may be defined as what nature gives you plus what you give your self.¹

The health program is divided into two parts; first, a constant effort to attain for your self the best standards of growth and development; second, an advance in your knowledge and understanding of present day problems through your study of community health.

The pupils of Stoneham Hill School will appreciate this health suggested program, because they are always willing to receive advice on the things that will better their conditions.

Our plea in Stoneham Hill School is for a broader conception of the functions …

The Mineral Content Of Prairie Grasses Within A Five Mile Radius Of Prairie View College, H. M. Middleton, Jr.

All Theses

Of all the plants of the earth the grasses are of the greatest use to the human race. To the grasses belong tie cereals, sugar cane, sorghum, and the bamboos; and, since they furnish the bulk of forage for domestic animals, the grasses are also the basis of animal industry. The grasses furnish the principal breadstuffs of the world and a large part of the food for domestic animals. (8)

In Texas the dominant grass over many of the prairies is curly mesquite (Hilaria Belangeri) (6), a dod-former, similar to Buffalo grass and Bermuda.

It is of interest to consider …

The Clothing Improvement Program 1933-1936 At The John Bernard High School, Oklahoma, Eva Mae Taylor

All Theses

The author recognizes the home as a basic unit for society. Anything which benefits home life, as clothing improvement program, warrants careful consideration.

The author also realizes that there are other home making units beneficial for the improvement of home life: such units as Home Nursing, Foods, and Family Relationship. These units received the same attention as the clothing unit, but time will not permit me to compile the information that I have on hand for the phases mentioned hitherto. Therefore I shall attempt to tell you something of the clothing improvement program which has been carried out in this …

Supervision In The Elementary Grades Of The Arlington Heights School, Gertrude B. Starnes-Smith

All Theses

Supervision has for its object the development of a group of professional workers who attack their problems scientifically free from the control of tradition and actuated by the spirit of inquiring.

Supervision is recognized as the most important function of the functions of the elementary school. The principal's main chance lies in training on the job. Training on the job means analyzing mistakes and correcting them. A teacher is trained in the job by a principal when the principal observes her, commends her good practice, analyzes her mistakes and shows her how to correct them.

The Teaching Of Geography In The Intermediate Grades, Jennie A. Sayles

All Theses

In the development of this treatise, "The Teaching of Geography in the Intermediate Grades", the major points to be considered in constituting the whole are the children's needs and interest; and the necessity of one's conforming to business practices and social ideals in the teaching of geography. However, it should be understood that authors today PURPOSE are widely considering two unit studies in intermediate geography, namely, "Geography of Everyday Life", and "The World Outside". In light of the foregoing, the purposes of this treatise are 1. To give the development of Geography as a school subject. . 2. To give …

Some Wild Plant And Animal Life That Has Been Presented In Thirty First Grade Readers During The Last Fifteen Years, Olivia M. Ammons

All Theses

Since the interests of children often center around wild plants and animals, the writer has attempted to picture the needs for realistic and scientific material for first grade children.

The use of the child's interests and needs as guides for teacher's planning necessitates a comprehensive knowledge of available material, that is why the study of wild plant and animal life that has been presented in thirty first grade readers is of great importance. Even in the first grade the child's desire to find out should be encouraged in his reading rather than his dependence upon being told. What materials on …

Creating Interest In Reading In The Cedar Bayou School, Victoria T. P. Baldwin

All Theses

My purpose of study is to find methods of motivating interest in reading for information as well as establishing good reading habits.

I have observed primary instructors such as Mrs. Wheeler at the Horace Mann School at Goose Creek, Texas, Pauline Watkins at Prairie View, Texas, Prairie View State College teaching primary methods. Other methods or means of securing material were by reading bulletins, journals, periodicals and reference books. Books on reading and education texts were used also.

This study covers grades 1st. to the eighth in a one-teacher school from 1933-1937.

An Outline Of Negro History To Be Taught In Negro High Schools Of Texas, Leon A. Richardson

All Theses

The question often arises, why should there be a separate history of the American Negro? Does not the history of America cover all groups and all elements of our population? There are very interesting and important questions that should be given proper consideration by all persons concerned with the progress and development of our country. Our population is heterogeneous if not cosmopolitan in its make-up, and all race groups have made some contribution to what has been accomplished in America. Most of these groups have suitable and perhaps ample representation in the nation's history, but it must be conceded that …

Feeding A Family Of Five Through The Live At Home Program, Lerline A. Starks

All Theses

The recent depression had an obvious effect upon all business, but in all possibility, the persons engaged in farming felt the catastrophe most keenly. The price of farm products became low and in many instances, the weather served to diminish the amount of products to be marketed. In a condition of this sort where there was little cash and few products to sell which would yield money returns. The farmer was made to realize the necessity of Living at Home. Living at Home reduces the needs for which money is needed and at the same time, it makes possible the …
