Benson: A Residential Suburban Community, Dorothy Ruth Mutz

Student Work

Before making a study of the social life of a particular area it is essential to classify the area as to type and character with reference to the surrounding area. Various interpretations are givens the terms "community" and "neighborhood", the terms often being used synonymously. The term "suburb", a comparatively recent sociological term, is also open to diverse interpretation.

The Need Of Vocational Guidance In The Negro Schools Of Bowie County, Estella Howard Langston

All Theses

The term "vocational guidance" has been used very extensively and, perhaps, during the time it has been in use the meaning has been broadened and become much less specific than it was at first. The common meaning of the two words in the phrase "vocational guidance" suggests that we are concerned with helping persons to choose, prepare, enter into, and make progress in occupations. It is, in short, to help someone go some place and do something. The actual doing of this process is the meaning of this term, so now we can readily see that even though the words …
