A Study Of The Causes Of The Reading Difficulties Of Thirty Children In The Butler Reading Clinic The Summer Of 1939, Evelyn Townsend

Graduate Thesis Collection

The problem presented by these children of normal or superior intelligence who are failing to read sufficiently well to carry on the activities expected of them in their school and out-of-school experiences is one which deeply concerns and definitely challenges educators.

A Study Of Student Publications, Ernest Brown

Graduate Thesis Collection

Journalism and school publications have taken their place in the curriculum of the schools of today. This has created a need for a study to show the changes that have been made in school publications since the middle of the nineteenth century; the purposes they are serving; their organization and make-up; and how to recognize the type of publication which is serving the schools needs best.

A Safety Survey, Shyrl G. Craig

Graduate Thesis Collection

One of the foremost subjects for country-wide and consideration is our terrifying death and accident rate. Engineers, and govenment officials from city, state, and national government are directing unusual energies towards a partial solution of the problem. Without safety, the most important things in life are impossible to achieve and safe living is the keystone of our personal and national well-being. Accidents destroy economic security. Millions suffer privation and want when the bread-winners of the family are injured or when family sayings are used up in caring for injured children. Our national economic loss from accidents amounts to billions of …

The History And Development Of Education In The Catholic Colleges And University In The State Of Indiana, May E. Moran

Graduate Thesis Collection

This dissertation of "The Development of Education in the Catholic Secondary and Higher Schools in the State of Indiana" was made in order to set forth as a unit some of the achievements of higher education made by the pioneer Sisters and Fathers of the Catholic Church.

Needs Of Local Employers And The Commercial Educational Program For Negro Students, Anna B. Dawson

Graduate Thesis Collection

The number of Negro students who have enrolled in the commercial subjects in recent years has grown with such rapidity that it is almost startling.  Many educators of the Negro race in other cities have seen the necessity to do research work concerning the training of Negro commerce workers but investigation has shown that no such study has been made in Indianapolis relative to the training of these students to meet the needs of those who employ them.

Safety For Elementary School Playgrounds, Willard J. Day

Graduate Thesis Collection

The problem of the present study, that of playground safety, arose as a result of two conditions: first, numerous accidents on the playground of the Charles Major School, of which the author is principal; secondly, the observation that certain schools have completely abandoned the use of playground apparatus, the reasons generally given for such abandonment being frequence of injuries and damage suits against school officials resulting from these injuries.

Extra-Curricular Activities Of The High Schools Of Tipton County, Robert L. Duncan

Graduate Thesis Collection

Most educators are undecided as to the relative values of the various kinds of extra-curricular activities.  As a result of this condition certain activities of doubtful value are greatly emphasized in many schools while other activities of more importance are not offered at all.

Industrial Arts Objectives, David R. Winegarden

Graduate Thesis Collection

Several incorrect concepts have caused the Industrial Arts work to fail to function to its fullest extent.  One idea is that of regarding the school shop only as a producer of "things;" if students produce good "things" they are successful.  The individual as a learner is hardly taken into consideration; the project on which he works and the skillfulness with which he manipulates tools and materials are only seen.

Making Clubs More Effective In The Junior High Schools In Indianapolis, Irma M. Biedenmeister

Graduate Thesis Collection

Since 1932, the course of study and time allotment for the junior high schools in Indianapolis, has set aside one period a week as a definite time on the program for organzied clubs. As this time is allotted and required, several questions naturally arise. Is the junior high school pupil too immature for club life? How can these club periods be used ot the best advantage for the pupil? Are they effective? If not, how can they be made so? Are there any suggestions that would aid in fulfilling the purpose of the assignment of school time for clubs?

Military Training In The Secondary Schools, Louis H. Chaney

Graduate Thesis Collection

The entire subject--military training in the secondary schools--is at present highly controversial. Its educational value has been a matter of debate since the earliest appearance of such training in the college curriculum over a century ago. Since the World War, the debate has become more heated and pointed. Certain aspects of the training, especially military education as a part of a school's requirements for graduation, are receiving criticism from organized opposition.
