An Investigation Of The Effectiveness Of Educational Placement Of Mentally Retarded Children In A Special Class, Kenneth Warren

Doctoral Dissertations

The number of Special Education classes for the educable mentally retarded has increased tremendously during the past several years. Implicit within this expansion is the assumption that for the educable mentally retarded such placement offers an environment superior to any other type of placement. In this environment the child is expected to gain greater benefits academically, socially, and perhaps even emotionally. There is some evidence to support this belief, but there have been few studies investigating the differences that result from placing a child in a special class rather than retaining him in a regular class.

School Attendance, Absenteeism And Withdrawal: A Sociological Analysis, John Martin Bogert

Masters Theses

In recent years, considerable interest in the phenomenon of absenteeism has been expressed by sociologists. Most of the work in this area has been confined to the industrial situation. In our present model-testing experiment, we wish to compare high school attendance with an industrial model.

Ideas For A Better City, University Of Tennessee. Municipal Technical Advisory Service

MTAS History

MTAS receives virtually all periodicals in the field of municipal government and also obtains many other publications in this field. In the aggregate these contain a "mass of information'' (when trying to sift, classify and assimilate, we sometimes wish it were much less in quantity!). These materials are routed to staff members for their examination; in this process they mark any items that appear to be noteworthy, and Mrs. Bush writes the summaries for this publication.

We hope that this "catalog of municipal ideas" will be useful to the officials of cities and towns in Tennessee and elsewhere.
