Psychobiographical research, with the use of psychological theory, allows us to uncover and unravel the life of an individual. This important area of research for the application of a psychological theory has, however, been under-utilized, especially in South Africa. The importance of psychobiographical case study research for the development and testing of theories of human development throughout the lifespan, has been supported by a number of academics in the field. The research subject was Sibella Margaretha (Isie) Krige. Isie (1870-1954) was married to General Jan Christiaan Smuts (1870-1950). He was a prominent South African and Commonwealth statesman, military leader, botanist and philosopher. Although much has been written on General Smuts, a psychobiography on the life of Isie had not been written yet. Isie was chosen as the research subject through purposive sampling. The study employed a qualitative psychobiographical research method, which aimed to explore and describe Isie’s psychological development in terms of Daniel Levinson’s (1996) theory of the Human Life Cycle. Collected data were analysed in accordance with Huberman and Miles’ (2000) approach. It integrated three sub-processes, namely data reduction, data display, as well as the drawing of conclusions and verification. The findings of the study indicate that Isie’s life was consistent with the pattern which Levinson (1996) identified. Isie was relatively successful in resolving the life tasks and transitional periods proposed by Levinson. The findings of the study also indicated that the development of Isie’s life structure was strongly influenced by a number of sociohistorical and global events. This research study has given a positive demonstration of the value of development theory. Furthermore, it emphasized the uniqueness of individuals in coping with the challenges of life. As a result it has opened up the possibility of perceiving people and their actions in a different way. Consequently, recommendations regarding the psychobiographical research design and methodology in future have been made.

Para isso, analisamos as intenções ideológica e estética que guiaram o projeto, através do qual o escritor desejava unir sua experiência na vanguarda literária do Modernismo com a atuação na vanguarda política como intelectual de esquerda, tarefa que teve como uma de suas fontes de inspiração a arte dos muralistas mexicanos. Da mesma forma que estes, Oswald utilizou-se de uma série de recursos estéticos em favor da representação da visão política que tinha da sociedade e do processo histórico - visão esta que, segundo nosso ponto de vista, se constitui no entrelaçamento entre as teses do Partido Comunista, a observação realista dos fatos históricos e a visão pessoal do escritor, dada pela sua condição de membro da burguesia que viveu a experiência da decadência econômica. É através da análise de pontos de contato e de distanciamento entre o texto narrativo e a pintura mural que procuramos recompor a proposta de romance mural do escritor, a qual, se levada em conta, pode conduzir à exploração de uma nova senda no estudo de Marco Zero / Abstract: The objective of this dissertation is to study Oswald de Andrade's proposal to qualify his novel Marco Zero as a "romance mural". Marco Zero is a novel published in two volumes (A Revolução Melancólica and Chão), in which the author intends to draw a panorama of the society of São Paulo from the 30's. This study investigates the ideological and aesthetical intentions which guided the author's project. It is believed that he wished to unite his experience as literary Modernist to his engagement in the political avant-garde as a left-wing intellectual. One of Oswald de Andrade's sources of inspiration was the art of the Mexican Muralists. As the Mexican Muralists, Oswald made use of a series of aesthetic resources in order to represent his political view of the society and of the historical process. The dissertation argues that Oswald's political view is a combination of the Communist Party thesis, a realistic observation of the historical facts, and the author's personal view as a burgeois who experienced economical decadence. Through showing the similarites and differences between the narrative text and the mural painting, the dissertation reconstructs the author's proposal to call his novel a "romance mural" / Mestrado / Literatura Portuguesa / Mestre em Teoria e História Literária

A análise das três obras pretende ressaltar a importância do autor na renovação do teatro brasileiro, seja do ponto de vista.dos recursos cênicos empregados, seja sob a perspectiva temática, em que pesam suas idéias marxistas. A avaliação crítica apóia-se, de um lado, na comparação das peças de Oswald com o repertório da dramaturgia convencional, situando suas farsas em meio às tentativas de recriação de um teatro tipicamente nacional e aos esforços de atualização técnica dos espetáculos. Quanto a isto, a análise tem como objetivo repensar a trajetória do modernismo de 1922 a partir da dramaturgia dos anos 1930 E, por outro lado, preocupa-se em apontar a modernidade do teatro oswaldiano em relação às cópias dos modelos europeus, caracterizando seus procedimentos paródicos / Abstract: This essay presents an interpretation of the three dramatic works writen by Oswald de Andrade during the decade of 1930 -O rei da vela, O Homem e o Cavalo, A Morta - considering that its modernity is associated to the ideological rupture in the modernist movement of 1922, perceptible also in Oswald's jornalistic writings. The analysis of these three works intends to bring out the importance of Oswald de Andrade in the inovation of brazilian theatre, either because he introduced thecnical procedures, or because he introduced political subjects, particularlythe marxist ideas. On the one hand, the critical evaluati<?nis supported by the comparison of Oswald's works with the conventional dramatic repertory, placing his farses side by side with the various attempts to recriate a national theatre and the efforts to renew the mise-enscene. In this particular, the essay intends to rethink the trajetory of the modernist movement of 1922 from the point ofview ofthe dramatic works ofthe 30's. And, on the other hand, it is concerned with the demonstration of Oswald's modernity in relation to the european models, pointing out his parodie procedures / Doutorado / Doutor em Letras

The Intermountain School started in January of 1950, being converted from vacated arm hospital to a boarding school for Navajo students. Funds for the support of the school are appropriated by Congress through the Department of Interior and the Indian Bureau. The school is exclusively for Navajo students, and it grew as fast as facilities were remodeled and new buildings were constructed, until capacity was reached. During the first school year, 1950, there were enrolled 503 students. This has increased each succeeding year until capacity was reached in 1954-55 when 2,311 students were enrolled. The staff of the school has increased proportionally with the student body. At the time of this writing, school year 1954-55, there are 445 staff members. These include personnel for administration, supervision, instruction, guidance, accounting, health, food and clothing, custodian service, protective service and maintenance.

After searching periodicals and getting the views of science teachers, it was found that the minority religious groups and individuals in larger religious groups had these three main objections to the teaching of science in the public schools. 1. The schools should not teach that the earth is round since the Bible states that it has four corners. 2. No scientific facts that relate to resistance to disease, health and sanitation problems, spread of disease or transmission of disease by bacteria or insects should be taught in the public schools. 3. No phase of evolution should be taught in the schools, how the earth plants, animals, or man evolved. In order to meet these objections, material has been compiled for the use of science teachers. No effort has been made to suggest methods of teaching such material since the teaching situations of science teachers appear to be varied and each individual can best select his own method. / M.S.
