A Survey and Criticism of the Public School Music Offered in Two Colored High Schools of Houston, Texas

Like other phases of education up to this time, in the South music was not regarded as a thing for the masses. We are indebted to Francis Hopkinson, an American who first composed American music, for a movement which was the first direct step toward the introduction of music into the schools of America. It was his music which acted as an impetus for a strictly American institution, The hinging School . This movement begun as a crude choir school, where singing was taught by rule and art . But it was soon adopted to the currents of social and political feeling. Such schools, though conducted for only short periods, laid the foundation for musical culture and appreciation, the full strength of which was not felt until the next period

UK Defence Research Agency the Two UK \u27Space Technology Research Vehicles\u27: First In-Orbit Results

The UK Defence Research Agency is about to launch two 50kg \u27Space Technology Research Vehicles\u27 which have as their major objective the demonstration and in-orbit evaluation of new technologies which have application to future space missions, both large and small. The STRVs are due for launch together on an Ariane 4 in June 1994 and will go into a geostationary transfer orbit which provides a very harsh (and therefore good) environment for the evaluation of the new technology. Areas of research for the mission include the use of advanced structural materials, use of new radiation hardened computers, sensors, solar cells and microelectronics, use of ADA software in a restricted memory space, demonstration of cryocoolers, measurement of electrostatic charge, elimination of electrostatic charge, measurement of atomic oxygen erosion, measurement of the incidence of cosmic rays and total dose radiation, improved battery charging techniques, and also the demonstration of key components from the UK ion thruster system. The two satellites not only carry a suite of 14 experiments between them, including experiments from BMDO, ESA and various universities but they also incorporate new technologies into the bus itself. This paper will give a full overview of the mission including a description of the in-orbit performance of the two spacecraft. Some of the main results from the early part of the mission with respect to spacecraft, subsystem and experiment performance will be presented together with a preview of the mission plan to follow during the remainder of the one year mission

Field Tests of Some Liming Treatments for Growing Burley Tobacco on Acid Soils

A major problem in the production of tobacco on acid soils in Kentucky is manganese toxicity, despite the fact that it can be easily prevented. Since manganese toxicity is caused by high levels of soil acidity, prevention of soil acidity by liming is the best method of control. And soil testing is the only way to determine how acid a field has become

Geologic context of geodetic data across a Basin and Range normal fault, Crescent Valley, Nevada

Geodetic strain and late Quaternary faulting in the Basin and Range province is distributed over a region much wider than historic seismicity, which is localized near the margins of the province. In the relatively aseismic interior, both the magnitude and direction of geodetic strain may be inconsistent with the Holocene faulting record. We document the best example of such a disagreement across the NE striking, ~55° NW dipping Crescent normal fault, where a NW oriented, 70 km geodetic baseline records contemporary shortening of ~2 mm/yr orthogonal to the fault trace. In contrast, our geomorphic, paleoseismic, and geochronologic analyses of the Crescent fault suggest that a large extensional rupture occurred during the late Holocene epoch. An excavation across the fault at Fourmile Canyon reveals that the most recent event occurred at 2.8 ± 0.1 ka, with net vertical tectonic displacement of 4.6 ± 0.4 m at this location, corresponding to the release of ~3 m of accumulated NW-SE extension. Measured alluvial scarp profiles suggest a minimum rupture length of 30 km along the range front for the event, implying a moment magnitude M_w of at least 6.6. No prior event occurred between ~2.8 ka and ~6.4 ± 0.1 ka, the ^(14)C calender age of strata near the base of the exposed section. Assuming typical slip rates for Basin and Range faults (~0.3 mm/yr), these results imply that up to one third, or ~1 m, of the extensional strain released in the previous earthquake could have reaccumulated across the fault since ~2.8 ka. However, the contemporary shortening implies that the fault is unloading due to a transient process, whose duration is limited to between 6 years (geodetic recording time) and 2.8 ka (the age of the most recent event). These results emphasize the importance of providing accurate geologic data on the timescale of the earthquake cycle in order to evaluate geodetic measurements
