A Specific Study Of The Magna Charta Of King John, Alexander Lakes

Bachelors’ Theses

This is far from being the first treatise on the Magna Charta. Many books have been written and much research work has been done to gather new data concerning the essence of that immortal document. And still the work regarding its birth and survival goes on. It was only recently that the English people were shocked, out of their usual complacency by the press announcement of the proposed sale of the meadow called Runnymede on the Thames near Staines. The sacredness of that tract of land was not realized until it was brought to the sense of honor of the …

Socializing Physical Education, Peter J. Kondos

Bachelors’ Theses

The ideas of our day lead us to plan for the education of our children. We seem to have passed through three stages in our national life. The first is that of the pioneer whom we glorified. He opened the West and built towns and cities; he smoothed the path of commerce and industry from coast to coast. The second stage marks the captain of industry, whose industrial enterprises have yielded tremendous wealth and power, focusing the attention of people with privilege, patronage, and pecuniary values. The third stage seems new with us, in which more and more people are …

Cross-Section Anatomy Of The Male Frog (Rana Catesbiana) : A Transverse Section Through The Region Of The Eighth Vertebra, Arthur L. Guepe

Bachelors’ Theses

At the present time there does not exist a complete cross-section anatomical study of the common bull frog, Rana catesbiana. In fact, there has been very little mention in literature of any cross-section anatomy of any particular animal. However, there has been some work of this nature done in the study of human anatomy, especially the important publication of Eycleshymer and Schoemaker (1917), and in a small measure in the anatomy of the rabbit. This lack of literature on this certain topic, however, does not mean that the author had any intentions of presenting a complete cross-section study of …

Bachelors’ Theses

With the decidedly marked interest shown in the Presidential ·campaign of 1936, the purpose of this thesis is to study more closely the attitude of the dailies in Wisconsin toward the two major parties -- Democratic and Republican -- through a survey of the editorial pages of each of these newspapers.

There is little question that the election of a president during the 1936 campaign carried considerable weight in the face of the unprecedented publicity that has followed the Democratic administration which began during one of the most severe of depression years--1932. With the outset of the campaigning activities of …

Significant Activities Of The National Association For The Advancement Of Colored People, J. Leon Booker

All Theses

It is only fair to the reader to say frankly in advance that the attitude of any person toward the subject will be distinctly influenced by his preconceived notions of an effective Inter-racial agency. If he questions the writer's selection of every act, merely for the sake of satisfying a hypo-critical nature, then he will need something more than the sort of facts and comments that the writer has given, lit is not the writer"s attempt to convince anyone of the strength or weakness of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The writer uses several reference books, …

Personnel Problems Of The Teaching Staff, Katie Williams Toliver

All Theses

One of the most interesting and significant aspects of the development of the American public school has been the change in the functions and duties of the teacher. In the early colonial days the elementary or common school was usually a one-teacher school where the teacher was the superintendent, principal, supervisor, teacher, school nurse, and janitor. As the public school increased in size and complexity, there was a corresponding increase in differentiation of functions of the personnel of the school. Four general types of personnel have developed: administrative, supervisory, classroom teaching, and the new types including guidance director, visiting teacher, …

A Suggested Program Of Extra-Curricular Activities In The Martin High School Of Beaumont, Texas, Lottie Vee Moore

All Theses

At the present time, there is an intense interest in the curricular and extra-curricular activities. Educators on nearly every hand are realizing the importance of giving the young people of today a fourfold development, namely, an intellectual, physical, spiritual, and social development. This present-day idea of extra-curricular activities is the result of a changed viewpoint concerning the proper aims of the school. I chose this subject for three reasons. First, I have a keen interest in extra-curricular activities. Second, Secondary Education is my major and I feel that I have obtained enough information from courses in Education to deal with …

The Identification Of The Tomato Mosaic Virus Prevalent In Utah, Ross D. Watson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Collections of tomato mosaic virus obtained from Utah and California produce a localized severe leaf and stem necrosis on Datura meteloides. After the streaked plant has stood sufficiently long to permit secondary growth to occur, a systemic diseased expression develops in a few of the plants. No reference to a similar development on Datura meteloides following inoculation with the tobacco mosaic virus was found in the literature.

Planning And Selecting A Wardrobe For A College Girl Living In Texas Whose Father's Income Is Eight Hundred Dollars A Year, Jo Leatha Runnells

All Theses

The value of planning and selecting a wardrobe within a limited income cannot be over estimated. Many college girls of limited means, make the mistake in thinking that the wearing of the most expensive clothes merits one the title of " Well-Dressed". It is our aim to break down this idea by suggesting the wisest possible selection and planning within a limited income and at the same time be well-dressed. First, the girl will need to know how to buy. Much unwise selection and waste of money have been the results of ignorance. Secondly, skill and good taste in the …

Modern Plumbing, James C. Austin

All Theses

Every since the beginning of time, there has been a struggle between man and the forces of nature for existence and livelihood. The science of plumbing came into existence in the struggle of man against disease. In the early days of civilization, man paid little attention to cleanliness and sanitation; but, as civilization advanced and as living conditions became more complex, man discovered that he must find some way to better care for his health and living conditions, by securing pure water and then properly disposing of this water after use. Modern plumbing as a trade, is the running of …

All Theses

This study is to present an account of observations made through a survey of thirty typical rural kitchens in Marion County, Texas.

Suggestions are offered for improving these and other rural kitchens. Emphasis is placed upon the relationship between the kitchen and the home.

There is no room in the home to which the principles of well-planned systematic household management can be applied so effectively as in the kitchen.

The Jeanes Supervisory Program As It Affected The Administration And Supervision Of The Rural Schools And Rural Communities Of Montgomery County Over A Period Of Three Years 1934-1937, Novella A. Southwell

All Theses

Before beginning a discussion that places so much emphasis on rural schools, I think a definition of the term, rural school, is essential. The rural school, as here understood, is one which is primarily concerned with the education of children on farms. The typical rural school is of the one-teacher type, although schools employing several teachers may well be included. The function of the rural school, "The objective of all effort for the improvement of rural education, must be if we hold allegiance to our American ideals, that the educational opportunities provided for children living in rural areas of our …

Selecting Clothing Appropriate For The High School Girl, Beulah Delores Mason

All Theses

It is very essential that every school girl should know the value of clothes and what they can do for her. Her whole life can be affected by her clothes. Many careers have ended because of lack of interest in clothes and careers have been made because of keen interest and appreciation. Opportunities for leadership and self-expression have been lost because of a natural disregard for clothes or lack of training in the appreciation of beauty in clothes. Regardless of what has been said against appearance as a snare and an empty vanity, the fact still remains that dress has …
