English Pedagogy at Eastern Illinois State Normal School: The Unique Evolution and Effect of an Adapted Composition Course

In his book, Professing Literature, Gerald Graff discusses that from 1890-1915 there was disagreement between generalists, who, as Graff states, tended to dispense with elaborate pedagogical theories and ... let the great masterpieces of literature teach themselves (Graff 86), and scholars, who were primarily philologists. While the generalists believed the study of literature should result in appreciation and a more cultured student, the scholars were primarily researchers. Graff goes on to describe the additional conflict between critics and scholars that grew out of the development of criticism between 1915-1930. Within the group of critics, Graff identifies humanists, who supported a generalist approach to literature, and aesthetic formalists, who focused on the structure of a text to better understand it. By determining where the Eastern Illinois State Normal School faculty stood on these issues, it will become possible to begin to put together a picture of how the Normal School pedagogy may have evolved differently than that of faculties at the research-based schools Graff focuses on. Isabel McKinney\u27s articles in the Normal School Bulletin, as well as two textbooks for both middle and high school English, which she wrote with Thomas Briggs, have been useful in determining the answers to these questions

Myzostomes from Papua New Guinea, with related Indo-West Pacific distribution records and description of five new species

Eighteen species of myzostomes were found in association with crinoids collected in Papua New Guinea. Thirteen of the former are described by means of in vivo, light microscopical, and SEM-based observations. Five are new to science: Myzostoma cuniculus, M. laingense, M. nigromaculatum, and M. longitergum are ectocommensals; Contramyzostoma sphaera is a parasite living in a soft cyst induced upon its host. The eight previously described species, six of which are redescribed in detail, include Myzostoma ambiguum Graff, M. capitocutis Eeckhaut, VandenSpiegel and Grygier, M. fissum Graff, M. mortenseni (Jägersten), M. polycyclus Atkins, and M. stochoeides Atkins, as well as Hypomyzostoma crosslandi (Boulenger) and Notopharyngoides aruensis (Remscheid). Most are ectocommensals but the last is an intradigestive symbiont. New Indo-West Pacific distribution and host records for all eight are listed, based on surveys of museum collections, and their entire range are mapped. Hypomyzostoma Perrier, 1897 (type species Myzostoma folium Graff) is resurrected for one of the species-groups previously recognized within Myzostoma, and a lectotype is selected for H. crosslandi. Specimens from Singapore previously identified as M. elegans Graff are reassigned to M. capitocutis

The Effect of International Adoption as an Orphan Care Method in Uganda

International adoption has been gaining popularity since the end of the twentieth century (Selman, 2002). Throughout this increase in international adoptions, the focus has drifted away from its original goal of providing homes that are in the best interest of the children (Graff, 2008). It has become more common for international adoption agencies to conduct international adoptions as a profitable business strategy, as international adoptive parents pay an average of $40,000 for a child (MGLSD, 2012; Graff, 2008). While this is not always the case, corruption is prevalent in the system and can endanger children to trafficking and illegal adoptions (Graff, 2008). Uganda has a growing number of orphaned vulnerable children in need of homes and only recently joined in sending its children for international adoption (UNICEF, 2003). This literature review addresses how international adoption effects Uganda’s orphan care methods from both micro and macro perspectives
