A Standard of General Motor Ability for Prairie View College Men Based on Braces Test

THE PROBLEM DEFINED MAJOR PROBLEM This study purports to sot up a standard of general motor ability for Prairie View College men for the Brace Test. SUB-PROBLEMS (1) To determine the degree of validity of the test*. (2) To determine the degree of reliability of the test. (3) To determine the degree of objectivity of the test. PURPOSE OF THE PROBLEM (1) To develop a standard which will assist in the instruction of men at Prairie View College. (2) To classify men in a program of Intramural Athletics at Prairie View College. NEED FOR SUCH A STUDY The number of test in Physical Education field that are statistically sound are comparatively few. The number of Valid Test of general motor ability is limited. There have been many experiments set up. There have been many experiments set up without presenting proof that the test met certain scientific criteria.-1 Very little work has been done for the Negroes in the field of tests. Russell discovered that there had been very little work done on Negroes. No test was set up based entirely upon Negroes. Russell in his study of one hundred and four test was unable to find any test that would serve as a criterion as to evaluating Brace Test.-2 LIMITATIONS The subjects used in this study were men of Prairie View College. The groups were composed mostly of Freshmen and Sophomores. The subjects taken from the Juniors, Seniors and N. Y. A. Boy\u27s were few. The age ranged for this group was from sixteen to twenty four. The number of cases obtained for all over twenty years of age was few. The total number of cases obtained was not sufficient to be representative of each age level for men tested. 1 - Bovard, J.

Race and Home Ownership from the End of the Civil War to the Present

We present new estimates of home ownership for black and white households from 1870 to 2007. Black ownership increased by 46 percentage points, whereas white ownership increased by 20 points. Remarkably, 25 of the 26 point narrowing occurred between 1870 and 1910. Part of this early convergence is accounted for by falling white ownership due to movement out of agriculture, but most is accounted for by post-emancipation gains among blacks. After 1910, white and black households increased ownership, but the racial gap barely changed. We discuss the influence of residential segregation, public policy, and permanent income on the ownership gap.

Racism Recognized and the Reformation of the South in Ernest Gaines‘

According to Ernest Gaines‘ personal experiences as a Southerner, without addressing the history of slavery, the quest for human dignity becomes meaningless. The discourses and the ideologies of the characters in AGathering of Old Men represent a call for social change. A Gathering of Old Men is however, more than just a novel about whites dominating blacks; it is a novel about the fight for humanity in spite of the threat of a new social order. The social repercussions of slavery and the denial of black manhood are central issues in A Gathering of Old Men, but Gaines also exhibits ways in which the demand for a social change in our society can bring about racial harmony

A Proposed Program of Physical Education for Boy\u27s at Carver Junior High School

Physical and health education relate to those aspects of instruction in schools intended to improve the physical fitness of boys and to contribute to the general aim of education. By developing proficiency in activities that promote health and which teach skills, attitudes, knowledge, habits of conduct, and safety practices this educational area prepares boys and girls for successful citizenship. Eastside, the community surrounding Carver school, is located in the middle of the city of Fort Worth, Texas. The pupils of this community are predominately from underprivileged families, and of the lower income group. A large per cent of the people in the Eastside community live in the Fort Worth City Housing Projects. The Fort Worth Housing Authority specifies that the monthly income of a family must not exceed a certain salary to live in these projects. There is very little support of the school through community organizations, such as a Parent Teacher Association. Also there is little interest shown by the parents in the school, with help seldom given when student problems arise. Delinquency and truancy rates are very high in this area, but there is an extreme overall interest displayed in athletics. The purpose of this thesis is to construct a program of physical education for the boys in the Carver Junior High School of Fort Worth, Texas. This program is to include only the required physical education courses and does not pertain to health and safety

A Review of Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease which plagues many older animals and humans. It is a disease that is characterized by the degeneration of joint cartilage, inflammation, as well as chronic pain and stiffness that results from this disorder. Unfortunately, most of the treatments for this painful and chronic disease mostly involve pain management and temporary relief strategies. These strategies usually include pain medication, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, injectable lubricants, as well as surgical techniques. However, because these treatments are just temporary fixes meant for pain management and to improve quality of life they must continue throughout the remainder of the animal\u27s life. The ultimate goal of this, review is to compile knowledge about osteoarthritis. This will include everything from the clinical features and prevalence of the disease, as well as some of the possible causes of this disorder. Some of the most common treatments out there to treat pain and relieve inflammation, as well as some of the more experimental treatments that might not be approved for use yet, however they do still show some promise
