An Economic Study Of The Farming System Of Fifty Farmers Of Rusk County, Texas

How simple the farmers\u27 problem would be if there were no such things as change in the world, no changes in soils, cultural practice, markets, population, birth rates, and a thousand other things. But, the principal fact the farmer faces, is that all these things do change. These have been enormous changes in a comparatively few years and he has had to adjust himself to them. For instance, in 1920, farmers had to feed a total population of 105 million people ( excluding exports for populations abroad) now about the same number of farmers feed over 150 million here

An Analysis Of The Causes Of Non-Attendance And Dropouts In The Bohner School, Olton, Texas

THE PROBLEM AND DEFINITIONS OF TERMS USED With the emphasis being placed today on the needs for trained personnel in all areas# it has become increasingly important for educators to try to solve problems confronting the school as are related to attendance. The larger public school systems have put into action a visiting teacher program which proposes to help prevent non-attendance and to improve irregular attendance. However# rural schools very often# have no access to the visiting teacher program or to any other type of truancy prevention. They have had to seek other means to combat this problem. THE PROBLEM Statement of the Problem. The purposes of this study are (1) to explore the philosophy of# and factors involved in school attendance; (2) to ascertain the probable causes of non-attendance in the Bohner School# Olton, Texas; and (3) to use the findings to make recommendations for possible Improvement in attendance. The current study was undertaken in an effort to throw light upon the real reasons why pupils are absent from school. Particularly it sought to ascertain what could be done to gain a more complete understanding of fundamental causes for p^pi* absence in a particular school situation. Significance of the Study* The need for studying the causes of non-attendance and drop-outs was made evident by a constant increase of attendance problems in the Bohner School, Olton, Texas, to the extent that the possible future of financial appropriations for the school will be reduced. It may be said quite safely that school administrators and teachers are universally interested in the problems associated with non-attendance, and are much concerned with reducing them. The tax-payers are concerned in part because their money is being used to provide buildings, equipment, and teachers for the use of all students. Citizens are concerned also because the quality of the product of the school is Influenced by the extent to which students attend school regularly. It would seem that any successful attack upon the absence problem should start with an analysis of the cause of absence among a particular group of pupils. It may be assumed that If we know the cause of a condition we are able to place an intelligent attack to remove the condition. If pupils are absent because of health factors, an effort to reduce absence will take the direction of changing those health factors. Similarly, if pupils are absent because of shortcomings in the school program, better attendance will require that these shortcomings be changed. Previous studies associated with the preparation of this thesis, however, have stopped with an analysis based upon the reason given by pupils or parents. This still leaves unanswered the question of underlying fundamental causes. When a boy gives the reason for an absence as sickness and he plays a game of football the same day, one suspects at once that the reason given was not the real reason. Yet, his absence was real. If his absenteeism is to be eliminated, the real cause must be sought out

The Immoralist and the Rhetoric of First-Person Narration

Gide\u27s The Immoralist, a short first-person novel written at the beginning of the century, has long been seen as an early example of the unreliable narrator. More recently, critical attention has focused on the tensions set up in the work between the carefully drawn formal structure of the narrative and the claim of Michel, the narrator, to tell his story in a direct and simple manner. Of more general interest, however, is the way Michel\u27s narration provides insight into important developments that have taken place in the first-person novel itself in the twentieth century. Cast initially in a very traditional mold, Michel\u27s story breaks down progressively as it moves from events of a more distant past to those much closer in time to his moment of narration. This breakdown of Michel\u27s narrative seems to presage the movement in the first- person novel in France away from the relation of a story as traditionally conceived and towards the increasing importance accorded the present of narration itself. In that sense, The Immoralist is a key, pivotal work in the long line of short first-person works of fiction in France

A comparative study of perceived work stress among police officers of color and white officers and its implications for management.

This study examined the perceived work stress levels among police officers of color and white officers from three Midwestern law enforcement agencies. A perceived police job stress survey that consisted of five categories (police job stress, felt stress, coping strategies, adverse outcomes, and workplace participation) was sent out via Survey Monkey through participating agency email systems. The survey was emailed to 532 licensed police officers and correctional officers, the response rate was 57.7% (n=304). The results of the survey found that the racial composition of the command staff of a law enforcement organization influences the police organizational stress levels of those not represented. The study also found that officers of color experienced higher levels of police organizational stress than white officers. Socioeconomic class was found to have minimal influence on the perceived job stress levels of officers until examined in conjunction with race
