The Beck Word-Color Association Test As A Predictor Of Juvenile Delinquency, Janet Ellyn Berger

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Juvenile delinquency is an old problem, a problem that has been intensified and given new emphasis during recent years. This problem has received nation-wide attention and publicity. Since juvenile delinquency is such an old problem, its history, too, dates back many years. Among the early attempts to differentiate the treatment of youthful offenders were the efforts of the tenth century monarch, King Athelston of England He enacted a law which stated that "man shall not slay none younger than a fifteen winters' man. " l Generally, however, any juvenile who has committed an offense was considered to be an ordinary …

General Semantics At Work: A Handbook For High School Teachers Of English, Georgia Burge

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The purpose of this handbook, General Semantics at Work, is fourfold: (1) to encourage the teacher of high school English to place as much emphasis upon improving the language attitudes of his students as upon improving their language skills, on the theory that the attitudes will determine the ultimate quality of the skills; (2) to summarize the system of general semantics, which its originator, Alfred Korzybski, chooses to call "a discipline," because it not only explains but trains; (3) to discuss the nature of the three components of language attitudes; namely, (a) the language itself, the tool of the communication …

A Study Of Special Admissions Of High School Graduates For The Years 1959, 1960, And 1961 At The State College Of Iowa, James Gregg Anderson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

During recent months much attention has been focused on the crowded conditions of the colleges and universities in Iowa. At the same time, a topic of a more controversial nature has been that of entrance requirements and minimum academic standards. Much of this discussion has been provoked through the denial of admittance to college of those of low academic achievement in high school, and the appearance. of articles and editorials protesting this practice in magazines and newspapers. Inasmuch as the State College of Iowa has had a program of Special Admissions in operation, this writer was led to investigate the …

A Source Of Information About Air And Airplanes For Students With Limited Reading Ability In The Upper Elementary Grades, Bruce Q. Buerkens

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

None of the types of transportation conceived by man through the ages has produced greater change to his world than air transportation. The airmail letter is a common sight. Fruits and flowers are flown from semi-tropical climes as the recipients sleep in the Temperate Zone. News of air accidents is frequent. Most of the taxpayer's dollar is for defense, a lion's share of which is for air power. World leaders skip across the globe for discussions with others. Man made satellites circle the earth in less time than a commuter may spend getting to work. Yet our world stands at …

A Comparison Of The Effects Of Individual And Group Counseling On The Development Of Creativity In A Selected Sample Of Eighth And Ninth Grade Girls, Marjorie B. Fish

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

With today's tremendous impetus toward creating new products, new ideas, and new and frequently bizarre approaches to problems and solutions, the school faces a serious and most formidable problem. It consists of not only keeping pace with these new accomplishments, but also of helping pupils develop into adults who can contribute to further explorations in the creating of ideas. The creativity of the future will be found in tomorrow's adults--and these are today's pupils.

An In-Service Training Course For Teacher-Counselors In New Zealand High Schools, Jean M. Herbison

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Human beings are extremely complicated creatures living in a very complex world. To enable young people to adjust to the complexity of the modern society, assistance is given through the guidance services in schools. This is no longer a service peculiar to any one school system, but a principle which is accepted in most countries throughout the world. The United States of America has led the field in the guidance movement and many of the problems now facing other countries have been solved in some measure by the initiative of research investigators and practice of educators in America. It is …

A Survey Of Articles Pertaining To Education Appearing In Selected Non-Professional Magazines During The Five-Year Period 1953-1957, Gerald Eugene Dockum

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

There are very few people who are not earnestly interested in education, especially if they have children of their own enrolled in school. Nearly all of these people realize that the school is one of the most important agencies which exert an influence upon their children and which should provide them with the tools to develop for themselves a future of the type parents normally desire for their children. This, plus the fact that education is publicly-supported, makes a vast majority of the people of our country vitally interested in our system of public education.

Informational Materials In The Homes And Achievement In School Of Elementary Students At Iowa Falls, Iowa, Kenneth L. Christensen

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

In this rapidly changing world children are engaged with problems of science, social studies, literature, and world events. Their interests have been widened by travel, radio, television, newspapers, and magazines. Their curiosities have been aroused by new experiences and they search for related facts. The textbook formerly occupied a central position in learning; but in the complex society of the present, neither a single textbook nor multiple texts are adequate to enable the school to fulfill its responsibility for the education of children. Not only does a modern educational program demand more informational materials than did the narrow "essentials" program …

The Principal’S Role In The Library Services In Iowa High Schools With Enrollments Of 200 To 300 Students, Arthur E. Borwick

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

For many years colleges and universities have provided reasonably adequate instruction tor school administrators in moat of the areas of their professional education. Required courses in administration, curriculum, and supervision of the secondary school give attention to nearly all phases of the school program. However, it is questionable whether some phases of secondary education have been properly covered, and one of these is the library. Since all areas of responsibility are of concern to school administrators, it is fundamental that the role of the school library be adequately understood and supported by administrators if the library is to make its …

The Place Of English As A Foreign Language In The Ethiopian School System, Haile J. Abedjie

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Until the Italian occupation of 1936-1941 the name Ethiopia, which dates back to Biblical times, had been shrouded with myth and mystery. To some it was a reminder of the legend of the Queen of Sheba and to others it evoked the myth of Prester John. 1 Although the Italo-Ethiopian war of 1935-1936 did much to help foreigners place Ethiopia on the map of the world, even now only a very few foreigners can converse intelligently on Ethiopian history, culture, or politics.
