A History Of The Education Of The Chinese In Hawaii, Sylvianne Fei-Ai Li Chun

Honors Papers

In the transplanting of any race or people, a period of acclimatization by the process of natural or formal education must inevitably ensue if that group wishes to survive both mentally and spiritually; and in many cases physically.

In any community a human, in order to make himself agreeable and useful, must learn to cooperate with his or hers neighbors. This is usually accomplished by first learning the language of one's country of adoption, then to learn the philosophy of the inhabitants already established there, and finally to apply one's self diligently by industry and perseverance to occupation.

Maintenance Of Skills In Sentence Structure, Capitalization, Punctuation, And Business Letter Writing Through A Functional Program In English, Mary Helen Bracken

Student Work

A frequent criticism of our schools today is that much time has been given to English in the school program, much money has been spent on it, and yet the results have been and are most unsatisfactory. High school teachers, college professors, and the general public continually express their disappointment as to the results that have been obtained through the formalism that so generally characterized the English program of the past and continues even today.

It is therefore necessary in this study to limit extra-curricular activities to these particulars: athletics, music, clubs, debate, and dramatics, in order to have a definite basis for comparison.

Soil Conservation : An Elementary Discussion For Use In Grade Schools, Ralph E. Hansen

Although South Dakota is a comparatively new state in agriculture, much of its land already is rapidly losing its productivity, and many acres of land have been injured by erosion. This condition creates a problem that faces the boys and girls, as well as their elders, in this state today. The problem is to save …

Examples of local codes are Batavia, Illinois; Boise, Idaho; and Sedalia, Missouri. Parenthetically it may be said, however, that, since the advent of the state codes as well as the national …
