Radio In The Elementary School, Lenore Mary Stagg

Bachelors’ Theses

Radio is a magic instrument of unity and power destined to link nations, to enlarge knowledge, to remove misunderstandings, and to promote truth. But it will not achieve these things unless we keep a more watchful eye on those who use it and those who control it. We should arouse in all people a greater sense of their responsibility for the proper use of this modern miracle. One of the distinguishing features of American democracy is the excellence of its common school system. Another name for common school is elementary school. Children who are engaged in the Kindergarten and the …

Problem Solving, Catherine Ryan

Bachelors’ Theses

"A first principle of curriculum determination in arithmetic is: Teach what is useful to average citizens in the everyday affairs of life." This principle is not the only dominating factor. Almost every curriculum has specifics placed there by tradition and speculation. There is considerable uncertainty as to what is useful, and what is not practical. The principle of social utility seems to be gaining prominence. Attempts to discover the 'real' use of arithmetic are being conducted.

Mission San Juan Bautista California: The Causes And Effects Of Its Rise And Decline, John E. Martin

Philosophy Doctoral

The immutable law of Cause and Effect affords an interesting gauge for the study of one of California's renowned missions. To compile all of the available data concerning a particular mission, to examine its buildings and grounds minutely and then to seek the Why and the Wherefore, provides an instructive undertaking.

Mission San Juan Bautista, California, the largest of the mission edifices, is a splendid subject for such a study. Why was it built, what was the purpose of its strange closed-off side aisles, why did it decline, what were the results achieved in its history? These are questions which …

A simile comparing mankind with puppets with the gods controlling the strings has long been the favorite of the philosophers.

Aristotle told man to be a puppet of wood to be controlled or guided not by men like themselves, but by the Superior Being.

Leisure And Reading, Pauline Stemmler

Bachelors’ Theses

Our pleasures are no longer those of our forefathers. With the advent of the motor car, the plane, the radio, and innumerable other modern inventions, life for us has taken on a new aspect. Ours is no longer a day of endless toil and struggle. The hardships of pioneer days have come to an end. Ours is a modern civilization, where machinery and manifold labor-saving devices have made possible shorter working hours and a greater margin for leisure, thus leaving time for play and for the pursuits of individual interests. The increased leisure may be an important contribution to a …
