The Franco-German War Of 1870, Angeline J. Koenings

Bachelors’ Theses

Volumes have been written by men, who were by far mere capable and in a better position than I, on the various phases of the great Franco-German War of 1870. To claim that this thesis sets forth ideas and historical facts unknown before would be both preposterous and presumptuous on my part I have merely attempted to narrate clearly, impartially, and concisely the logical sequence of one of the most important wars in history - the important roles played by the two leading figures of the 19th century, Bismarck and Napoleon III, the causes, underlying and immediate, of the period …

Line Play In Football, Francis J. Linscott

Bachelors’ Theses

Line play in football has gradually evolved from a massed attack, as prevalent in the early eighties, to an open game that is in vogue today. Participants in the early days of football called this a "block game." The team in possession of the ball would not make any attempt to advance it if they were playing a superior team. This evil became so great, however, that a rule was enacted, whereby the team in possession of the ball must advance five yards in three scrimmages or suffer a penalty of ten yards. This was changed later on, and a …

A Standardized Test On The Constitution Of The United States Of America, Walter Scott Stronge Gray

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

A test covering the subject of Constitution was made desirable, if not necessary, when the Kansas Legislature passed a bill which made the teaching of "The Constitution of the United States" obligatory. This law provides that the subject of constitution shall be taught to high school pupils during their junior or senior year and that such course shall cover at least one semester.

To fill the above mentioned need, the building of this test was attempted, keeping in mind those factors which are considered most significant about a test, i.e. , educational significance, validity, reliability, objectivity, and norms.

A Study Of The Psycho-Graphs Of Fifty-Five High School Students To Determine The Relationship Between Musical Talent And Various Degrees Of Intelligence, Marie H. Weatherly

Electronic Theses & Dissertations

From time immemorial music has played an important part in the life of the race; but it has been incidental rather than purposive. This incidental process meant that only those persons who had extreme talent and the inner urge became musicians. Frequently, these persons were either highly intellectual or at the other extremity of mentality, so the belief arose that musical talent was associated with great intelligence and to be a successful musician one must have wide experience, a liberal education, broad purpose and high ideals; or that a musician was among the most un-intelligent of men, sometimes near the …

The Longbow In English History, Rosalind M. Taylor

Graduate Thesis Collection

The possession of a longbow around which cling the mysteries and the triumphs of its English predecessors presages an interest in its history and possibilities, so it is not strange when in the course of my studies at Butler University I was called upon to select a thesis subject that I found inspiration in my own bow. There is music in the twang of its bow-string; there is poetry in its lines. Every bow has its own personality; every arrow its own peculiar perversities.

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

Considerable discussion regarding the effectiveness of the teaching in the one-room rural school versus the standard school has been going on for some time, and it is hoped that the results of this study will throw some light on this subject which appears to be more or less perplexing at the present time.

Before their time, the task of comparing schools in educational achievement was practically impossible; with age-grade and achievement norms scientifically determined, it became a simple matter to make …
