Sue Ford Photograph Collection

Julia Sue Runnels Ford was a writer for the "Kingsville Record and Bishop News" in 1922 when she married Ernest A. Ford Sr in Riviera at her mother's home. The couple farmed, ranched, and were of service to their community in many ventures. The collection consists of Sue's photographs, negatives, two weekly columns published by the paper, "Farm Notes" and "These are Your Neighbors," and correspondence. The photographs and negatives are images of South Texas, during the middle of the twentieth century. Country and ranch life are depicted along with images of the people and culture of a small, growing community. The towns of Kingsville, Ricardo, and Corpus Christi are highlighted, along with the livestock and crops of the farms. King’s Ranch and the famous Santa Gertrudis breed of cattle are included

A study of two remedial methods used in the teaching of typewriting

This study was made in attempt to discover the better method of teaching remedial typewriting to typing students. The experience of the author as a typewriting teacher has shown that transposition of letters and similar errors are the most common mistakes of typists. It appears that the traditional method of continued practice on errors does not produce satisfactory learning effects, and that the time for proving a new and better method of remedial teaching has arrived

The Tennessee Valley Authority

Muscle sholas is a broad, shallow stretch of the Tennessee River in northern Alabama, some thirty-six miles long, which is full of rocks, islands, and rapids, with a fall of 135 feet in that short distance. This river is one of the tributaries of the lower Ohio, and flows in a great arc of some 650 miles from its junction with the Holston River near Knoxville, Tennessee. This stream flows to the southwest through a portion of Tennessee, due west across northern Alabama and then turns sharply north through Tennessee and Kentucky, flowing into the Ohio River at Paducah, forty-seven mile from the confluence of the Ohio and the Mississipp

Effects of degree of handedness in left-handed individuals on semantic and syntactic skills used for sentence comprehension

Purpose: Research in adult language has focused on right-handed individuals. In the language area of auditory processing, Townsend, Carrithers, and Bever (2001) demonstrated that syntax processing has a relationship to a strong right-handedness. The purpose of the current study was to determine if a strong handedness in left-hand individuals correlates with either semantic or syntactic information based on response times in aurally presented sentence stimuli. Method: The participants included 16 self-reported, left-handed college students, ages 18-25. Participants were given the Edinburgh handedness inventory (EHI), and a familial inventory to classify degree of handedness. The participants were binaurally presented with 48 sentences with semantic and syntactic stimuli as described by Townsend et al. (2001). Results: There were no significant results found for correlations between degree of lefthandedness and semantic and syntactic processing at the p > 0.05 level, when measuring handedness with two different assessments. Results of the t test for syntactic probes demonstrated a marginally significant difference at a 0.07 significance level. Conclusions: In this study, strong degrees of left-handedness did not demonstrate the relationship to syntax or semantic processing, as previously found in right-handed individuals
