Appraisal Of Subject Matter And Teachers By High School Graduates, Ira E. Welker

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

How well are high school teachers selling their courses? Do they have satisfied customers? What courses are most popular with students? Are the high schools attempting to teach subject matter that is repugnant to students? Are some teachers selling their courses better than we are selling the courses we teach? What are some of our weak­nesses and faults as teachers? What impression are we as teachers making on our students?

This study is an attempt to find satisfactory answers to the above questions. Let us know the truth and face it as progressive teachers. We should not envy the more …

The Indians' Ability To Learn Mathematics (Algebra And Geometry) According To Degree Of Indian Blood, Harry Earl Zimmerman

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

Excerpt: "Certain writers in psychology lead us to believe that the white race is superior in intelligence to other races. However, very little has been written concerning the ability of the Indian people to learn in comparison with the white race. If the white pupil learns mathematics more readily than the Indian pupil, then, apparently, the marks of the pupils should be higher as the degree of white blood increases. This problem is a study and comparison of marks made in algebra and geometry by 525 Indian pupils with various degrees of Indian blood. A study was made by the …

The Humor Of William Dean Howells, Evelyn Kase

Student Work

It is the purpose of this study to analyze the humor of William Dean Howells and, if possible, to capture something of its elusive spirit. To do this, the nature, purpose and technic of it are separately considered insofar as it is possible to do so with a indivisible quality.

Naturally, this paper makes no mistaken claim to be the concluding word on this subject. Too many more acute analyses have tried to do so, only to meet with partial success, if not total failure. It is therefore for both the sins of omission and commission that the writer asks …

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

This thesis is an examination of the historical accurateness of Shakespeare's Henry VI, and Richard III. Interpretation of established facts plays a great part in the use of historical facts. Shakespeare, in an age of highly developed nationalism, pictures an age in which historically there is no evidence of nationalism.

Auriferous Tertiary Gravels Near Rocker, In Silver Bow County, Montana, William C. Mclaughlin

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Between the villages of Rocker and Silver Bow, in south­western Montana, are found an interesting group of placers. Gold occurs in Tertiary gravel beds that are interstratified with beds of rhyolitic volcanic ash. With the aid of a plane table and open-sight alidade, a small portion of the lake-bed area near Rocker was mapped; all distances were paced, but numerous checks assure a fairly accurate map.

A Sociological And Psychological Survey Of One Hundred Patients Of The Hays Crippled Children's Clinic, Helen Starbuck

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

The major and minor problems of the thesis are as follows: Are the children treated at the Hays Clinic as a group mentally, temperamentally and socially normal enough to justify the state in attempting to make them physically well? What are the sociological and psychological effects of occupational therapy and school work upon patients in the clinic? In order to arrive at a solution of the foregoing problems, a study of 100 children entering the Hays Crippled Children's Clinic was made . Both laboratory and questionnaire methods were used.

The Age-Hardening Of Duralumin, Allison Richard Dyer

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

The development of wrought alloys of aluminum to which high strength and ductility can be imparted by heat treatment began with the work of Wilm and Claesser in Germany, 1905­-1911. During this time an alloy was developed which was later commercially produced in that country under the tradename of duralumin. The need for strong, light alloys for aircraft during the World War greatly hastened the development of duralumin.

The Evaluation Of Punishments And Rewards In Learning The Maze Of Humans, August Albert Lind

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

The general problem of this investigation was the evaluation of reward and punishment for learning the maze by humans. Specifically, we wish to test Thorndike’s statement that pleasantness stamps in the right and unpleasantness stamps out the wrong; and furthermore, to find out what combination of pleasantness and unpleasantness in relation to right and wrong movements or choices is the most effective.

Ammoniacal Sulphate Leach Of Ananconda Zinc Calcine Recovery Of The Zinc By Electrolysis., Authur Jewett Bovee Jr.

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Zinc is produced from ores by two general methods, distillation and electrolysis.

The general principles involved in the electrolytic zinc process of today were known as far back as 1880. Difficulties encountered in purifying the solution for electrolysis and lack of suitable mechanical apparatus were the main reasons that such a long time elapsed before the process was used to produce zinc in commercial quantities.

Precipitation Of Gold, Silver, And Copper From Cyanide Solutions On Activated Charcoal., Rayworth Francis Howe

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Charcoal has been known for a considerable length of time to have the property of recovering gold, silver, and copper from cyanide solutions of these metals. Quantita­tive data that may shed light on the mechanism of the re­moval of these metals is very limited except that char­coal in a form known as activated has the power to abstract gold and silver in considerable quantities from the above solutions.

The Effect Of Impurities On The Electrodeposition Of Zinc From Zinc Sulfate Solution Containing Antimony., Emmitt L. Klebba

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

It has been proven by research and years of experience, that before electrolytic zinc is possible, the electrolyte, as zinc sulfate solution must be prepared as pure as is economical. In other words, the ideal electrolyte must only be a solution of one metal - zinc. Every other metal and carbon must be excluded if good recovery and a firm deposit is to be obtained.

Alloys Of Lead And Tellurium, Ettore A. Peretti

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Prior to the last few years little practical use was made of the element tellurium, which is obtained from gold and silver tellurides and from the slimes of electro­lytic copper refineries. Lately, however, more study has been made of its properties when alloyed with other metals. It was the purpose of this thesis to study the effects of the addition of tellurium to lead, particularly in small amounts.

The Great Awakening In The United States, Richard C. Stuckmeyer

Bachelor of Divinity

In America today, customary usage interprets the term revival as generally applying to special religious services, protracted for a term of days or weeks, in which unusual efforts are put forth to reach the unconverted for the purpose of bringing them to repentance and winning them to lives of Christian faith and service. It is in this regard also that the Great Awakening has been termed a revival, for it extended over a period of years wherein special emphasis was put on emotional preaching for the purpose of arousing people to a rebirth of religious life. This fact will be …

Immortality In Cicero, Kathryn Collins

Bachelors’ Theses

It is the purpose of this thesis to show that Cicero had a carefully developed belief in immortality. Since there is little opportunity in constructing a thesis of this kind to set forth any new or startling data concerning the subject, there is left to the writer only the originality of thought and presentation. So much commentary has been written on Cicero that it would be impossible to contact all of it . It may be said, however , that since Cicero has been known throughout the ages mostly as an orator and statesman, less has been written concerning his …

Equations For The Ballistic Galvanometer, Robert H. O'Brien

Physical Education In Universities And Colleges In The Middle West, Hyman Popuch

Bachelors’ Theses

Ever since the World War many social and economic changes have affected the problem of providing a wholesome and satisfying program of physical education and recreation to meet the existing needs for the proper use of leisure time. As the situation now presents itself, the schools should make every bonafide effort to set up a versatile program of physical education. Educators and physical educators, are now accepting the fact that mental, moral, social and physical education are a necessary part of general education. Before the present changes occurred in modern social adjustments, the home and industry were able to provide …

Milwaukee's Debt To The Juvenile Court, Evageline Marie Gahn

Bachelors’ Theses

Ever since the principle of probation was enacted into statutory law and probation officers were appointed to supervise delinquents, various claims have been made as to the reformative or curative value of the system. These claims have been based largely on the official reports of persons discharged from supervision at the expiration of their probationary terms. Only occasionally have there been any attempts made to investigate and study the effects of probation treatment on the after lives of probationers. In these instances the number surveyed was small and the investigations were not sufficiently intensive to merit great consideration.

The Sine-Function, Audrey Siehr

Bachelors’ Theses

Since the sine function is one of the most important elements of that phase of mathematics known as Trigonometry, it is only proper that we pause a moment for a short explanation of that subject. Trigonometry originated with the Greeks as the name itself implies. It was derived from the two Greek words trlgonon, meaning triangle; and metria, meaning measure. Trigonometry, then, dealt with problems related to measuring triangles.

A Survey Of Weekly Newspapers, Paul Leonard Mueller

Bachelors’ Theses

Community newspapers are often termed "the gold mines* of Journalistic endeavours — at least such is the prevalent opinion among Journalists outside of the small publication sphere. Small town editors are, of course, reluctant to praise their own weekly publications and somewhat hesitantly admit that they are "making money."

Nuclear And Cell Division In The Root Tip Of Iris Versicolor, Mary Maxentia Mahoney

Bachelors’ Theses

The writer found that very little work has been done on the somatic mitosis of Iris versicolor L. Some interesting accounts of karyokinesis in the root tips of some monocots have been written. Schaffner (1898) made a detailed study of nuclear and cell division in the root tips of the Allium cepa. He observed that the spindle originated from centrospheres, and that the most typical resting nuclei occured some distance back of the tip beyond the actively dividing region. In good stained material the resting nuclei had one or two large nucleoli and a very distinct chromatin net …
