A Broader Approach To High School Publicity Through Three Selected Media, Donald Dean Ambroson

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Communication between the school and the community has been a problem to educators and patrons of school districts for some time. In the early years of our country, the school was the center of the community and nothing happened in the school that the people in the area did not know. As the urbanization of our country began to take place, the school gradually lost its top spot on the conversational list of the people within the school district. Only within the smallest communities did communication of school and community not suffer. Most of this communication was of the personal …

A Follow-Up Study Of Fifty Selected Individuals Who Terminated Their Formal Education In The Special Education Department Of The Waterloo, Iowa, Public Schools, Alwilda N. Howell

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

In a democratic society, an educated child may be considered as a natural resource of the nation. Education in the United States is based on the democratic philosophy that all children are entitled, whenever possible, to an education commensurate with their abilities, and that they have the right to experiences and opportunities that are considered normal for all children. In discussing what education in a democracy entailed, Alice Channing of the Children's Bureau wrote, "Democratic education means, not that the same education must be available to all children, but rather that all children have the right to be educated or …

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

It is common belief in the United States that American youth should prepare for full and successful lives by continuing their formal education at least through the high school.

If the ability to work must be learned--and is not a natural talent--then the inclusion of work experience in the education of young people is essential.

An Evaluation Of College Days Based Upon Opinions Of Iowa State Teachers College Freshmen, Norbert K. Baumgart

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Each year more and more of our high school graduates continue their education at institutions of higher learning. In 1920 only 597,880 students were enrolled in college. By 1960, however, 3,221,0001 of our secondary school graduates are expected to find their way to one of America's 1,100 degree granting campuses. 2 The ever-increasing number of students going to college makes it evident that colleges will soon be bulging at the seams. This increase in college enrollment makes some sort of college information program appear more important than ever before.

A Survey Of Religion In Education In The Public Schools Of Iowa: Practices And Legal Regulations, William Thomas Jochumsen

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

It is necessary that research be conducted in order to discover present practices and to lessen the great confusion that now exists. With this information, …
