A History Of The United States Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps, Raymond A. Stevens
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Tragic as it may seem, every generation of Americans, without exception, has had to go to war. Americans, as hopeful and idealistic about peace as any people in history, have been forced into war three times in four decades--twice in the last one. When a great nation must choose between war and survival, there really is no choice. It must fight.
In the past we have misconceived the choice between preparedness and unpreparedness as a choice between large standing armed forces and no defenses at all. Inevitably, a peaceful people have chosen no defenses. In peacetime we cannot possibly maintain …

Some never intended to return to their families; others planned on making their fortune and returning quickly. The thought of schools found little place in their minds.
This lack of thought sprang from two sources. First, their own lack of education tended to keep back any interest in …

Some Phases Of Pioneer Education On The Kentucky Frontier With Emphasis On Nelson County, 1785-1860., Wenonah Maraman
Electronic Theses and Dissertations

History Of Public Secondary Education In Louisville., Harold S. Keeling
Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Fifty-nine Kentucky high schools were accredited by the State University in 1908, but there 1 were perhaps as many unaccredited (with two or three year curricula). The …
