A Study of the Effectiveness of the Kindergarten Readiness Room in the Fremont Public Schools

The child who has difficulty in learning because of largely unidentified handicaps almost without exception faces failure in a conventional school program. Often he experiences months and sometimes years of unsuccessful work before he receives remedial aid. This failure, resulting from the inability to develop potential capacities, can only lead to compounded and more serious problems when the school program demands, through its presentation of academic material, that the child use skills which he has never developed, or tries to build on experiences that the child has never had, or requires the utilization of a concept yet unestablished. To prevent more serious learning problems from occurring, identification of the child with learning disabilities should be made as early as possible in his school career (5,387)

Family factors in tenure experience: Hamilton County, Iowa, 1946

This study was made to determine whether family relationships and farm activities within family groups affect the tenure situations and occupational experiences of farm operators. Farm people have always wanted to own the land they operate. They have thought that farm ownership would bring prestige, an end to moving about, freedom to improve the home and farm, greater profits or a chance to retire. For these reasons, and possibly others, most farmers have tried to climb the agricultural ladder2 as rapidly as possible.3 Recently another phase of farm tenure has become more important. Many farmers fear that next year, or the year after, they may be without a place. There aren\u27t enough farms to go around to all who want them.4 Because of different tenure circumstances, some farmers suffer from this insecurity more than others

The social status and occupational prospects of married farm laborers in Cherokee County, Iowa, 1949

In this study 100 married farm laborers in Cherokee County, Iowa were interviewed in 1949. For comparison, 100 married farm operators were randomly selected from age categories so that their ages were comparable to the ages of the married hired men. The same questions were asked of both groups. Similarities and differences are presented. Married hired men on farms in Cherokee County showed a number of significant differences when they were compared with an equal number of farm operators of the same age

Married Hired Man

When do we eat? An evaluation of food items input into an electronic monitoring application

We present a formative study that examines what, when, and how participants in a chronic kidney disease (stage 5) population input food items into an electronic intake monitoring application. Participants scanned food item barcodes or voice recorded food items they consumed during a three week period. The results indicated that a learning curve was associated with barcode scanning; participants with low literacy skills had difficulty describing food items in voice recordings; and participants input food items depending on when they had dialysis treatment. Participants thought this electronic self monitoring application would be helpful for chronically ill populations in their first year of treatmen
