A Study Of Gerard Manley Hopkins, Howard E. Sylvester

English Language and Literature ETDs

The general aim of this study of Gerard Manley Hopkins is to add to the limited amount of knowledge concerning a poet whose influence within the past twenty years has been considerable. A corollary purpose of this paper, therefore, is to investigate and clarify some of the metrical experiments and practices of Hopkins. Critics, touching upon the verse-technique of Hopkins, have been cautious in their approach to his particular experiments in "sprung" and "counterpointed" rhythm. Various casual writings upon Hopkins have called attention to the poet's peculiarities of syntax, but the nature of these peculiarities has not been carefully or …

The Growth Of Elementary And Secondary Education In Russell County, Kansas, Elmer L. Dougherty

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

Throughout this work we shall carry one phase of the growth of education as it applies to a restricted geographical area. We must note from the beginning that the available material is very fragmentary even in a country whose existence spans only slightly more than half a century. No attempt was made by school administrators to keep an accurate history of their school systems. Records have been lost or misplaced. As a result, at this date it is impossible to clearly picture every part of the whole educational system within this restricted area , but the evidence which is still …

A Comparative Study Of The Family Background ..., John Eddie Gooden

All Theses

Introduction

The writer is mindful of the fact that the progress in the sciences underlying mastery of the principles of human behavior necessarily suffers in comparison with the progress made in the sciences of inert matter, Man is largely a stranger in the world he has created. The inventions he has made, and the great number of discoveries brought to the fore have him entangled in a web similar to that woven by the spider. The science of life has not kept pace with the knowledge of inert matter. As a partial offset to the excessive attention given to technological …

A Brief Study Of The Nursery Schools In The United States And On Prairie View State College's Campus, Maurine E. Smith

All Theses

A brief study of the Nursery Schools presents a picture to me of vital importance and is an important project in the United States.

In 1924 there were twenty eight Nursery Schools in eleven states, while four years later, eighty five Nursery Schools were found in the District of Columbia alone. At the present time six hundred Nursery Schools are distributed throughout the United States.

The Nursery School acts as a supplication to the home in helping many of the million parents to understand their children from a physical, social, and mental viewpoint, in such a way as the parents …

A Survey Of Thirty Selected Choirs From Twelve Church Denominations In Houston, Texas, Erie Katrina Lee

All Theses

Any choir, regardless of its size and location, can do a commendable piece of work provided it is fairly well balanced and that the director is competent, and that it has the cooperation of the minister and the good will of the congregation. The trend of modern or present day choirs is to play and sing jazz and sloppy compositions. This takes away greatly from the dignity and order of a well regulated church service. Although many churches are falling into this category, it behooves each director, who knows better, to point the way to others by training his group …

An Experimental Study To Determine The Most Appropriate Colors For Various Hues Of Negro Women, Janet Patricia Lawton

All Theses

This study was selected because the Negro race is one that possess many color hues and because there is little or no work done toward helping these various colored women select colors that will bring out their natural charm. While this is not a complete treatment of color and color harmony it is hoped that it will serve as a basis for further study and will make more colored women color conscious, if nothing more.

Many books, periodicals, and pamplets are frequently written concerning the most suitable colors for blonds, brunetts, and auburns, but the Negro has more than these …

The Effects Of Cooking On The Protein Content Of Three Foods, Dorothy Dimsdale Sansom

All Theses

This piece of work is done to determine the effect of cooking on the protein in foods, that is, to see if there is any loss of the percent of protein in foods upon cooking, Bogert (3) points out that proteins are coagulated by heat and if the temperature is very high for any length of time the coagulated protein becomes tough and leather-like. Heat also tends to dry protein foods out and cause them to become relatively hard and difficult to digest. We know that certain extractives, which are responsible for the flavor of meats and other protein foods, …

A Comparative Study Of 100 Delinquent Boys And Girls And 100 Non-Delinquent Boys And Girls In Selected Areas Of Fort Worth, Texas, Katherine Rosabell Love

All Theses

Previous studies have been made by sociologists to find the basic causes of delinquency. Some of the causes found were: a lack of proper recreational facilities, broken homes, and low economic status. With these factors being given as underlying causes of delinquency, it is evident that many non-delinquents have made progress under similiar conditions.

The writer has compared the delinquent and nondelinquent on the basis of: (1) familial, (2) economic, (3) educational, and (4) institutional characteristics in order to discover the extent to which these groups differ in these characteristics. A solution to this problem is yet to be sought.
