A Study Of The Betts Ready To Read Tests: Their Predictive Values In Determining Reading Achievement And Their Comparison With Other Predictive Measures, Charles L. Mills

Some Changes In State Educational Administration In Utah In Terms Of The Recommendations Of The Utah Survey Of 1926, Verland L. Christiansen

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Inasmuch as this study is concerned primarily with state school administration and an educational survey concerned with administration, it appears proper to devote some attention to the evolution of these two things. The first consideration will be given to the development of state educational administration.
