The Supervised Study Of History In The High School, Alfred J. Niesen

Bachelors’ Theses

During recent years more and more attention has been paid to the supervision of the study habits and activities of high school pupils. Serious students of education have not been carried away by enthusiasm for this innovation, but they have subjected this movement to the searching test of careful analysis and statistical evaluation. It is the aim of this paper to formulate a definition of supervised study, to describe and evaluate the different methods and techniques now being employed, to arrive at conclusions on the basis of statistics which are now available, and to show that in spite of present …

An Economic Program For The League Of Nations Designed To Prevent World-Wide Economic Depressions, William A. Platz

Bachelors’ Theses

This thesis represents an effort to discover a way for the nations of the world to cooperate in the prevention of economic depression. The author has studied the League of Nations with the purpose of finding out what it can do in the promotion of such cooperation and has discovered organic weaknesses which seem to him to bar effective action by the League as it is now organized.

Character Training In Education, Margaret Mary Quinn

Bachelors’ Theses

There is no more significant trend in current education than the nationwide movement of character training. Interestingly enough, this trend has developed alongside of the scientific movement in education, though much more recently. The scientific trend that has characterized education during the present century, has sought to reduce it to a precise and controlled process through the utilization of the findings and techniques of the psychological and social sciences. Increasingly research and experimentation are yielding valid techniques for carrying on the various processes of education. But with the increasing number and refinements of techniques there has been of late a …

The Morality Of The Book Of Judges, Otto F. Stahlke

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of this paper is not to establish the moral standard obtaining in this period of disorder, as though the standard of Jehovah were inferior to that of a later day, in that the deeds of God's specially chosen deliverers, were to be an example to His people also morally, thereby making the standard. An objective examination of this morality would prove it the same as the Biblical morality of any other age; but that lies beyond our discussion. Again the purpose is not to prove that the Judges or God's people did nothing contrary to the moral law …

An Evaluation Of Critical Opinions Concerning Time, Place, And Readers Of Ephesians, Martin W. Mueller

Bachelor of Divinity

Especially in the last few years there has been much discussion on the Time and Place of the Composition of Ephesians. Closely connected with this is the question: To whom was the Epistle addressed? The determining of these two factors plays a large part in the establishing of the authenticity of Ephesians. Hence, this treatise offers: "An Evaluation of Critical Opinions concerning Time, and Place, and Readers of Ephesians," in the hope that it may to some small degree serve this end.

A History Of The Evangelical Lutheran (Missouri Synod) Mission For China, Edward H. Arndt

Bachelor of Divinity

In writing this paper, I hope to have contributed something quite new to the history of Lutheran Foreign Missions. To my knowledge, no one has written on this phase of the work before.

Although our China Mission is still young, it is high time that its history be written. While the Mission was founded only 20 years ago, the writer has experienced much difficulty in obtaining reliable information on several points.

Saving Faith In The Old Testament, Frederick L. Miller

Bachelor of Divinity

Since faith in Christ is absolutely indispensable for salvation; and since by faith in Christ the people of the O. T., like those of the N.T., must have been saved, since there is salvation in no other name (Acts 2, 42): we must be able to find this faith expressed or implied in the O.T. There is sufficient testimony in the N.T. for this faith of the people of the Old Covenant, and so for Christians our problem is no problem; but when we deal with Jews, and when we consider the matter historically, we are thrown upon the O.T. …

The Roman Catacombs, Conrad A.E. Saskowski

Bachelors’ Theses

One day in May 15-78, some laborers digging in the "pozzolano" on the Via Salerna two miles from the wall of Rome, went at their work so industriously as to fall into the Galleries that were banked with graves. Great as the astonishment of the age to find the existence of a city of the dead beneath the suburbs of Rome, and many were the people who flocked to see it. Since the tenth century the Catacombs had lain forsaken and forgotten but from this time on they were the most interesting curiosity in Italy.

An Introduction To The Study And Interpretation Of The Incomes Of Selected Weekly Newspapers In Wisconsin, J. Gerald Purtell, William J. Liermann

Bachelors’ Theses

The publishing of a weekly newspaper is generally considered to be a profitable enterprise. However, like any other business it has its examples of outstanding financial successes and dismal failures. In such instances there are many factors which have determined the fate of the papers. Ignoring the editorial policies entirely, the purpose of this thesis will be to determine as far as possible the reasons for the financial destiny of the weekly from a business standpoint.

The Life Of L. Annaeus Seneca, And His Philosophy As It Is Presented In The Epistulae Morales, Marguerite E. Riedl

Bachelors’ Theses

In view of the great number of books and articles that have been written about Seneca, it would seem at first thought somewhat presumptuous for us to add another to the list. But even a fairly extensive bibliographical search reveals the interesting fact that although the books on the Stoics in general — in which Seneca’s name is almost never forgotten to be mentioned — and the books on Seneca as a tragedian or as an influence on succeeding literature are very numerous, the works that treat of him as a philosopher are very few. Nevertheless, his philosophical works are …

The purpose of this thesis was to get a better understanding and knowledge of weekly newspapers in the state of Wisconsin and to see the enterprises carried out for the community’s interests.

Constructive criticism was to be given for the benefit of the newspaper and the writer.

The objective in which we as teachers should be interested is the acquisition by the children of a plain, useful and legible handwriting, gracefully executed.

The time for automatization of writing is during the handwriting period.

The Use Of Marionettes As A Project In The Elementary Schools, Elizabeth M. Grady

Bachelors’ Theses

A few years ago we associated the marionette entirely with the Italian showman. Now a veritable renaissance of interest in marionettes seems to be sweeping over every country, our own included. Many artists were quick to see the educational as well as enjoyment possibilities in this fascinating form of drama. The result has been that in almost every city and town some sort of work with marionettes is being done in the public, private and parochial schools from the primary grades to high school.

Work Of A Teacher-Librarian In A High School, Lilian Gaskell

Bachelors’ Theses

The librarian is more fortunate than the teachers, who know only the pupils in their classes, for all she knows all the pupils in school. They come to her wanting help in lesson arrangements. Thus she has an opportunity to teach them how to use books and libraries. But still more important is that she has an opportunity to guide and direct the leisure reading of pupils. She must be a good judge of young human nature, a pleasant, patient, sympathetic, understanding kind of person if she is to win the confidence of boys and girls, if she is to …

The Definition Of The Idea -- John Locke, John H. Murphy

Bachelors’ Theses

The mere definition of an idea may not seem to have much bearing upon a system of philosophy. On the surface it may not appear as though it acts as a pivot upon which an epistemological theory revolves. Yet we cannot read any of the works of the English School and not see that is actually the case. Descartes, who was not of the English School, but who through his work supplied enough controversy to give rise to the School, formulated a theory of innate ideas; he used doubt as a method with the intention of doubting everything until he …

The Education Of The Retarded Pupil, Rose M. Murphy

Bachelors’ Theses

The retarded pupil that will be considered is the normal child whose mental age and achievement score are below the standards accepted for a child of his chronological age. The school must provide for this type of child now, more than formerly, due to the increased period of attendance required, and changed economic conditions. Regarding this matter Ryan and Crecelius’ state the following:

"Until recently secondary education has concerned itself very little with ’the masses’. in this country the original purpose of the secondary school was to provide selected youths with the training prerequisite for theological study."

The Treatment Of Joan Of Arc In English Literature, Catherine J. Steffan

A Critical Study Of The Outstanding Works Of Ricarda Huch The Romanticist, Emily Louise Schmit

Bachelors’ Theses

Ricarda Huch cannot be called a poet of the people. Her writings are too individual., too philosophical and psychological to be appreciated by the masses. But among those readers who, like her, are imbued with romantic ideals, who feel the urge for self-expression, who have a natural appreciation for genuine lyric poetry, who love indulgence in dreamy fancies, philosophical reflection and sudden, quick changes of mood - among these she has won a reputation which places her among the foremost Romanticists of the later school.

The Radio In Music Education, Adaline E. Wilk

Bachelors’ Theses

Up to the present the music of the world, in its completences, has been the private preserve of a little band of people who happened to live in the places where it could be heard, and who happened to have money enough to pay to hear it. Henceforth, it belongs to everybody. This means an immense widening of public interest in music, and I believe, a great raise of public taste. In five years' time, in my expectation, the general musical public of Europe and America will be treble or quadruple its present size. And the next generation instead of …

The Spray Test In Chromium-Plated Brass, Paul Siegel

Bachelors’ Theses

For a great many years, the science of chromium plating has been investigated by eminent research workers in the domain of chemistry. The problem of deposition was solved some years ago by Carveth and Curry of Cornell University. At the present time there has accumulated such a vast mass of data upon the subject that it does not lie in the power of a single individual to obtain a truly thorough and comprehensive study of the entire problem in all of its aspects.

The Care Of The Illegitimate Child In Milwaukee, Clare A. Sexton

Bachelors’ Theses

The one vital f act that is really the greatest concern of society regarding illegitimacy, is the illegitimate child; a child that is fashioned the same as the rest of us; that bears no mark of nature's ill favor; that develops according to all the biological and psychological laws that control humanity in general, giving no more and no less response to ill treatment; reacting viciously only according to the same causes that operate in general. A society that does not properly care for this individual, born or unborn, callously sins against its own moral and physical welfare.

The English Inn And Tavern In The Lives And Works Of English Poets From Chaucer To Shakespeare, Hugo C. Schwartz

Bachelors’ Theses

This paper is an attempt to show the part or the inn and tavern in the lives of the early English writers, and the influence it had on their work. The English inn has a romantic interest to readers of English literature, chiefly the result of rhapsodic verse about the Mermaid, the Apollo Club, and other similar places, written by the poets of the time and many others since. The effect has been to cast a romantic glow over the inn which yet glimmers over the remains of that institution to-day.

Substitution Of Hydrofluoric Acid For Sulphuric Acid In Chromium Plating, Leonard Schulze

Bachelors’ Theses

Chromium plating or the electrodeposition of chromium from chromic acid baths has been an accomplished fact for almost a century. However, it has not been until the last few years that considerable attributive information has been published to make the mechanism of the process sufficiently understood to permit its commercial operation.¹ Most of the scientific information published on chromium plating thus far is general there being very little specific information revealed as yet. Material, as shall be referred to occasionally, may be read about its early successful applications stressing the unusual properties, advantages, interests, and activities but very little …

Evolution And Development Of The Sentimental Comedy, Mary Mina

Bachelors’ Theses

The writer has purposed in this essay to trace the rise, development, arid evolution of the comedy. of sensibility, from about the year 1700 to 1177. The movement was one, intricated with not a few interwoven trends. The fusion of sentimentalism into the comedy through social, moral, philosophic, literary, and historical factors has, in part, accounted for the intricacy of the genre, known as the comedy of sensibility. Few authors have considered it worth while to devote much time to the amassed dramatic productions of the eighteenth century. Thus, the complexity ·of the problem is increased.
