This study is concerned with the problem of occupational choices of high school students and the interplay of the various factors which enter into those choices.

The Modesto Irrigation District is located on the eastern side of the Great Valley about half way from North to South. The Great Valley is really two distinct river valleys further divided by lesser stream valleys. The Sacramento River Valley is about 500 miles long and forms the northern half; and the San Joaquin Valley is about 350 miles long and forms the southern half. For many practical purposes local residents of this great Valley call it the Sac-Joaquin Valley. There are no hills or mountains to separate these valleys so we may consider them as one. The Sac-Joaquin Valley is almost ideal as far as irrigation is concerned. It is almost as flat as a table, dropping about 2-3 feet per mile toward the middle of the valley from the beginning of the valley proper westward to the Sacramento or San Joaquin River. The summers are long, hot, and cloudless; ideally suited to the ripening of tropic fruits.4 All the valley lacked was sufficient water. And the mountains now furnish that. We shall consider the Modesto area as being the area north of the Tuolumne River to the Stanislaus River and from the San Joaquin River on the west to the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. By the early settlers this area was called Paradise Valley.2 A town of Paradise existed for a few years, having been laid out by a Mr. Jon Mitchell about 1867-683 It gave up and moved a few miles east into the new town of Modesto soon after the latter was started in 1870.4<68/sup> The Modesto Irrigation District now inclueds about 81,000 acres in the weatern part of this Paradise Valley.2 The land is almost flat, consisting of soils that are, as a whole, "light, the largest part of the area consisting of sandy loams and sands".3 The soil ideal for diversified agriculture, and it has now been proven that the soil types of Modesto District are best adapted to the applicaton of irrigation.4

It was the purpose of this study to: (1) survey the organization and administration of the program currently used in the Modesto City Schools in interpreting the first grade reading program to parents, (2) identify the characteristics of an effective program for interpreting first grade reading to parents as revealed by the literature, (3) determine the schools’ effectiveness in informing parents of first grade pupils in the area of reading, and (4) offer recommendations for the effective improvement of the Modesto program.

This survey of one hundred business offices in Modesto was conducted for the purpose of determining whether the office training curriculum offered by the Modesto Junior College adequately prepares students to successfully enter the office occupations in the community.

This study was concerned with the extent of student failures as Modesto High School during the four year period from 1954 to 1958. The administrative staff has always been aware of this problem and the continual waste of student potential. As a result of the marked increase in the number of failing marks received by students in the fall semesters of 1956 and 1957 this situation was brought into sharper focus, and the administrations felt a need for an appropriate study. As a result of the evident increase in the number of failing marks received by students at Modesto High School, this study was initiated for the following purposes: (1) To determine to frequency and the distribution of failing marks for the eight-semester period, from the fall semester for 1954 through the spring semester of 1958.; (2) To compare the frequency and distribution of scholastic failures among the four grades, the four ability groups, and the fifteen departments of the high school; (3) To determine the percentage of students who graduated from Modesto High School after receiving one or more failing marks at any time during the period of this study.; (4) To provide a basis for further study of scholastic failures at Modesto High School.

Autor de obras ficcionais, de traduções do alemão reconhecidas e premiadas, e de um sólido discurso crítico interpretativo, seu nome se estabeleceu como referência nacional em literatura kafkiana. Esse contexto rendeu à sua tradução certa prominência sobre as demais, terminando por promover um Kafka em boa medida “caroniano” no Brasil – o que pode ser observado, por exemplo, na aprovação de seus textos pela academia e na incorporação de traduções suas em políticas oficiais de incentivo à leitura. Inspirados nas noções de recepção crítica, produtiva e reprodutiva (que diz respeito às traduções), e constatando a presença dos três planos de recepção no projeto intelectual de Modesto Carone, nosso objetivo é estudar as condições de assimilação e produção de Kafka no Brasil através de sua obra, com ênfase nas traduções, de duas formas básicas: através da elucidação de seu discurso tradutório, a partir de ensaios, palestras, posfácios e paratextos de edições; e da comparação com outras duas traduções da novela realizadas do alemão, as de Marcelo Backes e Celso Donizete Cruz. Assim, contextualizaremos a tradução caroniana com base em conceitos da Estética da Recepção (Jauss e Iser), da teoria dos polissistemas (Even-Zohar e Toury) e das refrações (Lefevere), além da noção de tradução minorizante (Venuti). Caracterizando o Kafka projetado nas traduções de Modesto Carone, esperamos estimular um olhar crítico e sensível à presença do escritor sorocabano no texto final disponibilizado ao público leitor.

Does the individual guidance program of Modesto secondary schools meet the needs of the youth enrolled? This question is to be answered through a study of (1) the counselee loud of the counselors in the Modesto secondary schools; (2) the distribution of problems encountered in counseling; (3) the number of repeat counselees and how and why they came to the counselors; (4) the effectiveness of the counseling program from the students’ viewpoint; (5) the effectiveness of the counseling program from the counselors’ viewpoint.

Dentro dos dilemas vividos pela literatura contemporânea brasileira, principalmente nas duas últimas décadas do século XX, interessa-nos o estudo das narrativas breves de Modesto Carone, com foco mais detido nos contos Dias melhores (As marcas do real, 1979), Ponto de vista (Aos pés de Matilda, 1980) e O Natal do viúvo (Por Trás dos Vidros, 2007), principalmente porque estes contos fazem referência às questões da identidade e da subjetividade, como estas se apresentam em nossos dias, e trabalham a literatura como elemento crítico da sociedade. Utilizando pressupostos da Teoria Crítica, como os formulados por Theodor W. Adorno, Max Horkheimer e Walter Benjamin, este estudo tem como objetivo iniciar uma investigação a respeito da formalização estética de questões sociais presente na narrativa de Modesto Carone e espera poder contribuir para novas possibilidades de interpretação da obra do autor brasileiro dentro do painel da literatura contemporânea. / Among the dilemmas experienced by contemporary Brazilian literature, especially over the last two decades of the twentieth century, I have chosen to discuss issues of identity and subjectivity, as they present themselves in three short stories by Modesto Carone, Dias melhores (As marcas do real, 1979), Ponto de vista (Aos pés de Matilda, 1980), and O Natal do viúvo (Por Trás dos Vidros, 2007). Using the assumptions of Critical Theory, as formulated by Theodor W. Adorno, Max Horkheimer and Walter Benjamin, this study aims to investigate the aesthetic formalization of social issues present in Modesto Carone`s and hopes to contribute to new possibilities of interpretating the Brazilian authors work within the reality of contemporary literature, understood as a critical element of society.
