A Comprehensive Study Of The Elementary School Districts Comprising The Orland, California, Joint Union High School District, Charles K. Price

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The State of California has for some time been con- fronted with the great number of school districts, each an independent political division. In the past, several attempts have been made to enlarge these existing districts through consolidation or unionization, and provisions have been made in the school code whereby districts may consolidate. So far, little progress has been made. California, like many other states, has inherited the Now England tradition of the district school. This is the chief reason why she has to many school districts.

An Experiment In Supervision By The Conference Method, Wendell R. Hoar

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The aspect of supervision that is particularly challenging to me is the problem of the present day. Our curricula have been so constructed, interpreted and planned that a high degree of integration and correlation should result, both vertically and horizontally. To realize these aims, teachers must have a great many conferences, both in groups and individually with the supervisor, who is usually the principle of the school

The conferences are needed not only to discuss the possibilities of integration and correlation, but to teach many of the teachers methods, objectives, devices, and projects for teaching the modern courses of studies …

There has been no attempt to include in these pages all the interesting events which are traditional in the gossip of the town. Every effort has been made to include only such material as can be readily verified either by the memories of those still living who remember the events or, in cases where this has bailed or there has been an evident conflict of stories, by resort to …

Food For Children With Special Reference To Dietaries For Chinese Children, Dzi-Chi Gin

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The chief functions of food may be said to be three--growth, maintenance and proper functioning. Food consists of those substances which yield energy, build tissue, or regulate body processes.

The Spanish Folksong In New Mexico, Tonia Ann Komadina

Spanish and Portuguese ETDs

When the Spaniards came to New Mexico, driven by a lust for gold, they brought with them the tradition of song which has been an inestimable treasure for succeeding generations. Their descendants and the descendants of the settlers who came north from Mexico clung to the precedent established by their ancestors; they sang old songs, composed new ones, and passed them down to their children by word of mouth transmission.

In this study an attempt has been made to trace briefly the development of the song in its various forms, from the sixteenth century to the present day canción de …
