Variation In Human Capacities, Flaucy Ives

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Individuals of the same age vary widely in every trait that has been measured or estimated. They differ in height, weight, character, taste, intellect, strength or in other words, in all things

Every human being is endowed with the same reflexes, instincts and capacities, each individual has powers of perception, discrimination attentiveness, retentiveness, reasoning etc., and as a result each has the same general qualitative make-up.

But as was said above individuals vary in every trait, "these differences are quantitative rather than qualitative".

The New In Music, Alma Lowry Williams

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The selection of the subject, “The New in Music,” was prompted by an interest in the frequent appearance of new aspects in the art music. The following critique is the result of an attempt to uncover forces which work toward forming the new, to evaluate essential factors of newness, and to consider the reaction of the public to new musical trends.

Although the accent of the work is placed on the music of the late Nineteenth and early Twentieth Centuries, consideration is also given to essentially new aspects of music during the earlier period since the Fourteenth Century. Complexities of …

Anhydrous Alcohol And The Vapor Phase Method Of Preparing It, Cleetis Brown

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Since the almost universal laboratory method of preparing absolute alcohol requires considerable time and trouble, gives a low yield of alcohol and leaves a distilling flask badly clogged with hydrated lime, Professor S.S, Kistler and I undertook the following research in the hope that we might devise a new method that would be both rapid and easy to perform.

Upon reviewing the possibilities, it seemed evident that any method to be rapid would have to involve drying In the vapor phase. Diffusion in a liquid being so slow that when a drying agent is placed in the liquid phase an …

Zionism From Haran To Lausanne., Albert N. Mandelbaum

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Many writers on Zionism endeavor to explain the causes that contributed to its creation and developments. Most of these writers are extremists in their views. Some ascribe Zionism to the internal force only. Others ascribe it to the external force only. The religionists gloat over the idea that modern Zionism is the result of inner yearning of the Jewish people for a restored Palestine, where the glory of God will be returned unto Zion. The nationalists believe that Zionism has come into existence because of external influences only. The Jew has been oppressed, discriminated against and persecuted. He attempted to …

The Mississippi Question And The Problem Of Statehood In Kentucky., Harold J. Stipe

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The history of new state movements in America is always an absorbing study; the character of the settlers and the compelling factors that motivate them are revealed with startling clarity as the reader turns the pages back into the annals of the period. The history of America has been, in a large degree, says Frederick J. Turner, "the history of the colonization of the Great West. The existence of an area of free land, its continuous recession, and the advance of American settlement westward, explain American development." In no state was the influence of the frontier advance upon political development …

Scholasticism An Intellectual Basis And Unifying Principle Of Modern Science, Alice Veronica Johnson

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This thesis, completed at Xavier University of Louisiana in 1929, argues that Scholastic philosophy, and the thought of St. Thomas Aquinas in particular, supplies an intellectual foundation that unifies the findings of modern science. Johnson takes up the common charge that Scholasticism is a barrier to scientific progress. She contends instead that it is the one philosophy able to answer the ultimate questions of “whence” and “how” that science cannot address on its own.

Johnson tests this claim against several fields in turn: astronomy, geology, physics, chemistry, and psychology. In astronomy, she reviews competing theories of the origin of the …

Articulation Of Junior And Senior High School Curricula, Belle Joachims

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Our American school system with its distinction between elementary and secondary schools grew out of European tradisione. The history of secondary education in America abone that there have been three periods of development, each characterized by a dietinot type of school. As our colonial policies were shaped by Europeans, naturally our schools were organized to confora with the European institutions; and the Latin grammar school was the dominant institution for secondary education in American until the middle of the eighteenth century.

The Manufacture Of Airtight Leather Gaskets, W. Kedzie Teller

Professional Degree Theses

"Wherever gaskets are used in conjunction with any type of mechanism operated by compressed air, of course, it is essential that the gaskets be air tight. Whereas it is possible to use rubberized fabric for this purpose with a degree of satisfaction, treated leather has certain advantages which make its use preferable. Leather is readily available and can be cut and molded into various shapes with less difficulty than is encountered in fabricating similar designs from reinforced rubber. Then, too, leather withstands wear much better than rubberized fabric. The problem then arises to treat leather to make it airtight, for …

The Coarse Crushing Plant Of The Desloge Consolidated Lead Company, Horace Reynolds Stahl, Robert Gibson O'Meara

Professional Degree Theses

"The Desloge consolidated Lead Company is located at Desloge, Missouri, in the disseminated lead district of St. Francois County. The crushing plant was built during 1925 to replace crushing installations at three mines. The plant was designed to deliver 2,000 tons of 7 to 9 mm. feed per day to the concentrating plant. Operating conditions have since improved so that the present tonnage is about 2,200 toms of 6.5 mm. feed per day, operating 16 hours. The essential mineral is galena, more or less finely disseminated in a dolomitic gangue. The ore is comparatively soft and easily crushed"--Introduction, page 1.

Electrolytic Board For The Determination Of Lead, And Some Comments On The Procedure For Lead In Low-Grade Tailings Of The Southeast Missouri Lead District, O. W. Holmes

Professional Degree Theses

"Recent improvements in the practice of milling lead ores of the Southeast Missouri Lead Mining District has resulted in the production of low-grade mill tailings. The tenor of the lead in the tailings is often between 0.05 and 0.25 per cent. In view of the fact that large tonnages are handled daily and that further improvements are under way, it is imperative that the lead content of these tailings be accurately determined.

For this purpose an electrolytic board, which speeds up the electrolytic determination of lead in low-grade mill tailings, has been devised at the Mississippi Valley Experiment Station of …

A Study Of The Vocational Placement Of Pupils Of The Elementary And High Schools, Robert Louie Colthart

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

There was a time when people could go West and become empire builders; when there was little competition, but the resources which nature provided so abundantly no longer exist in their vastness. Pioneers and adventurers have skinned the cream of these luxuries. It is necessary now for science and its cohorts to substitute skill, knowledge, and training for the vagrancies of chance and its dependence upon fate.

There was a time when a boy raised on a farm had to stay on the farm; there was no city where he could find work. There was a time when the village …
