Experimental Results Of Training In General Semantics Upon Intellingence-Test Scores, Joseph C. Trainor

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

The theory of General Semantics in its present (1935) form is essentially that there exists in the human nervous system a general mechanism, somewhat similar in nature of concept to that type of functioning which we have been calling vaguely, intelligence. In distinction, however, to the commonly held views on intelligence, General Semantics implies that this mechanism is exceedingly amenable to environmental influences; that it may, in other words, show marked effects of training in Semantic methods.

To this end a group of thirty sophomores in the Washington State Normal School at Ellensburg, Washington, were given the Detroit Intelligence Test, …

The Public Relations Program Of The Alameda City Schools, Harold V. Lajeunesse

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Public relations programs have been generally characterized as having as their purpose the indoctrination of the public along lines favorable to a commodity, a service, or an idea. In education, there seems to be a growing realization that the function of a public relational program in the school system is the utilization of all of the agencies of a community toward the end of accomplishing the objectives of the public schools. This realization has been further stimulated as educators have recognized that isolation from the community is often detrimental to the aims of the schools. In broadening the scope of …

Building Wholesome Personalities, Mable T. Anderson

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

Is there any question pertaining to child development that is as much discussed today as the subject of improving the child's personality? As parents and teachers talk over their every day problems it is evident that they are concerned principally with the personal traits of their charges. While the training of the intellect is important, it is secondary to the training of personality.

Education For Living, Robert E. Mcconnell

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of Education and Professional Studies

What the best people want for their children, America wants for all of its chiIdren. That has become a popular statement. But in the final analysis, what is it that we want for our children? I may answer that question in part. We want culture. We want our children to be refined.

Education, Psychology, And Religion As Factors In Creating Happiness Among The Deaf, O C. Schroeder

Bachelor of Divinity

The purpose of the study of aids to happiness among the deaf is to portray spiritual blessings rather than to evaluate the benefits of education and material success. To a large extent this treatise is narrative and descriptive. Our interest, however is not in narration and description per se, but only as they portray the causes of, and the means to, the promotion of happiness among the deaf.

The Importance Of Play, Laura V. Douglas

Education Student Dissertations

While reading the "Principles of Educational Sociology" by Walter Robinson Smith, the writer was deeply impressed by the statement that "Next to the family group and home life, the play group and play life exert the most vital influence upon the unfolding personality of the child." The writer wondered if it was the absence of play life, as American born children of fair social background experience it, that would in some measure explain the dullness of the Italian-American child of Sicilian and Neapolitan origin, who, as the writer knew him, was so lovable, so anxious and eager to please and …

A Survey Of Progressive Education And Its Application To Certain Schools Of California, William Wells Pratchner

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

A new idea of education is upon us and if we are to achieve a civilization based upon justice and cooperation, realization of a greater personal freedom and the accomplishment of a fuller democracy, education must pave the way.

Before this goal can be fully realized, fundamental changes and adjustments must be accomplished in our social and industrial life. A new education will be one of the most potent factors in the reshaping of our national character. This education must be one that will truly equip men and women with knowledge, inspiration, and power necessary to build new institutions, and …

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this thesis is to determine, as far as possible, the extant to which the language-factor tests included in present psychological examinations administered to freshmen at the Collage of the Pacific are reliable as factors contributing to an estimate of the capacities of the individuals examined.

This necessitates a study of both the gross and language-factor tests scores

In making the study, the results of examinations given in three years,—1925, 1926, and 1928, —were utilized. The total number of cases included in these years was 560, a sufficient number to warrant the placing of considerable reliance upon the …

Experimental And Observational Geometry, Albert D. Field

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Geometry has the distinction of being one of the oldest subjects given in the high-school.

Its subject-matter was formulated and organized by the Greeks into a fine system of thought before the time of Christ. Since leaving the hands of the Greeks, geometry has received only a few minor changes, and these largely in recent years.

Heretofore, the study of geometry has been made almost entirely dependent upon memory and reasoning. Geometricians have been slow in adopting the laboratory and observational methods.

This thesis has been written to encourage the student in his work of observing geometrical forms, and in …
