"In the course of conversation at various times with junior and senior teachers attending classes at Florida State University, the writer has concluded that perhaps lack of understanding on the part of teachers with reference to homeroom guidance principles and techniques may be one of the main reasons for the present state of uncertainty in this area. In such conversations one may find a recurrence of questions for which teachers want answers, or at least clearer and better answers. Among the questions commonly asked are the following: What part should the homeroom play in guidance? How long should the periods be? What types of programs should be attempted? What should be avoided? Can any homeroom teacher participate in guidance, or should the emphasis be placed on especially trained and qualified personnel? Where can a homeroom teacher get help in planning guidance activities? It is questions such as the above that the present paper will attempt to answer"--Introduction. / "August, 1951." / Typescript. / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts." / Advisor: Stewart Murray, Professor Directing Paper. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 48-50).

"The principal of Woodrow Wilson Junior High School selected a tentative home room committee of teachers during the post school planning period. This group discussed the problem at hand, the purpose of the home room and the home room program as well as the guidance to be derived through the home room. The writer, as a member of that committee, has collected materials, studied the home room and through programs. These will serve as a guide for the pupils of Wilson Junior High School. The plan is that the children will become interested in these topics and will suggest others for consideration in the home room"--Introduction. / "1952"--Cover. / Typescript. / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: Marian W.

"The purpose of this paper is to present an analysis of an activity program which was started in Tomlin Junior High School during the 1949-50 term. It is not an analysis based on statistics, nor is it an attempt to present an ideal program as a pattern for other schools to follow. Rather it honestly attempts to describe how the teachers in a given school worked through the group process to meet one of the paramount needs of that school in a way that would contribute most to the boys and girls enrolled in the school"--Preface. / "August 9, 1950." / Typescript. / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Advisor: H.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the home room as a factor in the guidance program of the small high school.

The purposes of this study are: (1) to make an investigation of the home-room programs of the junior high schools in Wichita Falls, Texas, to discover what social guidance, if any, is offered to students; (2) to set up criteria for evaluating a social guidance program in a junior high school; and (3) to evaluate the social guidance programs of the home rooms in the junior high schools in Wichita Falls, Texas, in terms of the criteria set up for evaluation.

The problem under consideration is to determine the difference between home-room and departmental methods of teaching second grades, as measured by educational achievement. The study attempts to answer the question, Which one of the foregoing mentioned methods will produce the greatest gain in achievement when applied at second-grade level?
