A Comparative Study Of Distributive Education Programs In Four High Schools Houston, Texas

The distributive education movement had its beginning as an organized school activity in 1905 under the leadership of Lucinda Price of the Women\u27s Educational and Industrial Union. She organized her first class of eight girls for store training. In 1906, she started her third class with a promise from William Filene\u27s Sons Company of practical store experience on Mondays. High school retail training classes began in Providence, Rhode Island, about 1910, and in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, about 1911. Daily work experience as a basic principle of cooperative occupational training was developed in those early classes. Organized instruction was almost wholly neglected in the public school courses and it became evident to vocational leaders that this was a serious defect in the whole vocational program. An interpretation of that part of the Smith-Hughes Act, dealing with the general continuation part-time school, gave the needed encouragement to those working to provide for what came to be known as distributive education . This 1919 ruling of the Federal Board for Vocational Education made it possible to offer courses in retail selling to be given to pupils employed in stores by using industrial education funds for this purpose. In 1931s a Modification of the ruling permitted the organization of part-time cooperative classes for ployed youth

Diets Of Five Pre-School Children In Waller County

The care and feeding of children between infancy and maturity is very important. Much attention has been given to the nutritional requirements of babies, but the pre-school child has been more or less overlooked. Nursery schools have been established for the purpose of studying the best means of improving the health and nutrition of children of the pre-school age, and feeding studies undertaken with both high school and college students have gone far toward ard establishing better £ood and health habits during this critical period of transition from childhood to adult life . Children of the same age vary in size and activities, therefore, individual children vary in the amount of food they need. The smallest amount given should be considered as the minimum necessary for any child of that age. If a child is well and gaining weight regularly, is vigorous, and sleeps well, Ms appetite may be considered a fair guide as to how much more than this minimum quantity of food he should eat. The child must learn that it is his business to eat what is provided for him, and not to expect what is not to him. Training in good eating habits can not begin too early. Each child must learn that eating is an important duty to be faithfully performed day by day. New foods must be learned, sometimes by many repetitions. For the preschool child, this means first of all that he shall have the appetite which comes physical or nervous fatigue. There should be a cheerful person who can heartily commend to him the food which he is to partake, and the food itself shall be of the same flavor, texture, and temperature that it was when offered before. Endeavors to improve children physically must not be limited. Each stage of development calls for watchful care. The child should not only be helped to remember that he is to drink water, attend to his bowels at a stated time, to go to bed, and eat meals by the clock but the desirability of all these things must be impressed upon his mind. Sunshine and rest are important aids to the utilization of food by children. There must be long hours of sleep and not too much excitement or hard work during the waking hours. They must be free from physical defects which cause mal-nutrition by interference with normal breathing. During childhood, weighing should be done at regular intervals and tables of weight and height of normal children consulted as an aid in judging progress and these should be supplemented by thorough physical examinations. Food problems in the pre-school age period are basically health problems. At the outset, the child should be accustomed to a variety of tastes, care being taken that good food is not spoiled in cooking. Children should not be permitted to acquire a longing for fried greasy foods, pastries, too much sugar, spiced food, and stimulants such as tea and coffee

Internet cigarette vendors make tax-free claims and sell cigarettes cheaper than retail outlets: Table 1

This paper aims to (1) assess whether promotion of tax-free sales among Internet cigarette vendors (ICVs) changed between 2009 and 2011, (2) determine which types of ICVs are most likely to promote tax-free sales (e.g., US-based, international, or mixed location ICVs), and (3) compare the price of cigarettes advertised in ICVs to prices at brick-and-mortar retail outlets

Neurological impairment in nephropathic cystinosis: motor coordination deficits

Nephropathic cystinosis is a rare genetic metabolic disorder that results in accumulation of the amino acid cystine in lysosomes due to lack of a cystine-specific transporter protein. Cystine accumulates in cells throughout the body and causes progressive damage to multiple organs, including the brain. Neuromotor deficits have been qualitatively described in individuals with cystinosis. This study quantitatively examined fine-motor coordination in individuals with cystinosis. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans were also performed to determine whether structural changes were associated with motor deficits. Participants were 52 children and adolescents with infantile nephropathic cystinosis and 49 controls, ages 2–17 years, divided into preacademic and school-age groups. Results indicated that both the preacademic and school-age cystinosis groups performed significantly more poorly than their matched control groups on the Motor Coordination Test. Further, the level of performance was not significantly different between the preacademic and school-age groups. There were no significant differences in motor coordination scores based on MRI findings. This is the first study to document a persistent, nonprogressive, fine-motor coordination deficit in children and adolescents with cystinosis. The fact that these difficulties are present in the preschool years lends further support to the theory that cystinosis adversely affects neurological functioning early in development. The absence of a relationship between brain structural changes and motor function suggests that an alternative cause for motor dysfunction must be at work in this disorder
