"It is the purpose of this thesis to employ some of the basic methods currently in practice in the teaching of creative dramatics, in a second grade class of the North Texas State University Laboratory School in Denton, Texas, and to record the results."--2.

This paper is a report of research at North Texas State University concerning the effect of Art 135-136 on the design judgment of elementary education majors. It describes the measurement of the level of design judgments of elementary education majors who have completed the course and those who have not.

"The problem of this study was to determine the relationship of the professional preparation and teaching experiences of women graduates of North Texas State University with a major in health, physical education, and recreation during the college sessions of 1954-1966."--5.

"It is the purpose of this present study to investigate further the aptitude areas into which Home Economics courses may be classified, and to determine whether a relationship exists between these areas and the areas of the Differential Aptitude Test."--1.

Esta tese trata de uma parcela minoritária da arquitetura paulista que foi partícipe da Contracultura brasileira, no período de 1956-1979. O trabalho teve como eixo temático a trajetória dos arquitetos Lina Bo, Sérgio Ferro, Rodrigo Lefèvre, Flávio Império, Eduardo Longo, Vitor Lotufo e Pitanga do Amparo; constatou a singularidade de suas produções em relação ao contexto hegemônico; analisou obras exemplares dessas produções através do re-desenho e levantamentos in loco; identificou correspondências entre tendências contemporâneas internacionais e o debate de ideias e ideais com a cena cultural ampliada às áreas de música, teatro, jornalismo, literatura, artes plásticas e cinema. A autonomia teórica e crítica e o comportamento diferenciado dos arquitetos elencados, constituiu-se num questionamento ao status quo sóciocultural, à linha hegemônica da Escola Paulista Brutalista e ao Estilo Internacional. Os projetos, da denominada Arquitetura Alternativa, se distinguiram pelas soluções plásticas, uso de materiais e técnicas construtivas vernaculares ou adotando novas abordagens, repúdio à serialização ou industrialização e busca de fontes de legitimação mediante interfaces multidisciplinares. A Arquitetura Alternativa, é, portanto, uma produção à margem da hegemonia que, por integrar a Contracultura brasileira, participou da Revolução Cultural que ocorreu em diversos países ocidentais nos anos 1950 e 1970. / This thesis deals with a minor portion of the São Paulo state architecture that was part of the Brazilian Counterculture in the period of 1956-1979. The work had as main theme the trajectory of the architects Lina Bo, Sergio Ferro, Rodrigo Lefèvre, Flávio Império, Eduardo Longo, Vitor Lotufo and Pitanga do Amparo, and established the uniqueness of their productions in relation to hegemonic context; evaluated exemplary works of these productions through the re- drawing and on-site surveys; and identified correspondences among contemporary international trends and the debate of ideas and ideals with the cultural scene extended to the areas of music, theater, journalism, literature, visual arts and cinema. The theoretical and critical autonomy and the differentiated behavior of the architects listed, constituted in a challenge to the \"status quo\" social and cultural, to the hegemonic line of the \"Escola Paulista Brutalista\" and to the International Style. The designs, of the denominated Alternative Architecture, were distinguished by plastics solutions, use of vernacular materials and construction techniques or adopting new approaches, rejection to serialization or industrialization and search for sources of legitimation by multidisciplinary interfaces. The Alternative Architecture is therefore, a production on the sidelines of the hegemony, which by integrating the Brazilian Counterculture, attended the Cultural Revolution that occurred in many Western countries in the 1950s and 1970s

In this study, we explore the reason why Ming people did not use sea transportation to solve the problem of supplying Beijing from the perspectives of political history and intellectual history. Chapter 2 and chapter 3 reconstruct the decision-making processes in sea transportation. Chapter 4 analyses state and local political factors which influenced the result of decision-making. Chapter 6 discusses the spread and evolution of sea transportation knowledge in the intellectual sphere. (Abstract shortened by UMI.) / Sea transportation in this study refers to a specific form of maritime activity---grain transportation by sea. Sea transportation in the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) was conducted in the years before the Grand Canal became the major route of grain transportation. Although retrospectively it was only a transitional means of grain transportation in the dynasty, it was often proposed to be an alternative to canal transportation when the Grand Canal was malfunctioning. Because of what was involved in the grain supply of the imperial capital, sea transportation never ceased to be an issue in the political history of the Ming. / 樊鏵. / 呈交日期: 2006年9月. / 論文(哲學博士)--香港中文大學, 2007. / 參考文獻(p. 339-359). / Cheng jiao ri qi: 2006 nian 9 yue. / Adviser: Hung-lam Chu. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 68-08, Section: A, page: 3545. / Electronic reproduction.

"The problem of this study is to determine, by means of a statistical analysis of the results from the Mooney Problem Check List given to 1011 students at North Texas State College during the year 1949-50, what the problems of college freshmen are and if there is a significant change in the areas in which those problems are found from one semester to another."--1-2.

In the one-hundred years between 1810 and 1926 there were many civil wars in Mexico. The last of these wars. La Cristiada, was not fought, as were the previous civil wars, by groups seeking political control of Mexico. Rather, the genesis of this war was a question of who would control the Church in Mexico. The war began when President Plutarco Elias Calles attempted to enforce rigorously certain articles of the Constitution of 1917 as well as two laws which he promulgated. If Calles had succeeded, he would, in fact, have created a church in Mexico controlled by the federal government. The material to support this thesis was taken largely from the Mexican legal documents, the writing of Calles, other sources contemporary with the events described and some secondary sources. This thesis stresses the religious reasons for the La Cristiada and discusses the war itself not at all.

This thesis examines the origins of athleticism in England and its transfer to Canada. During the course of the nineteenth century, the focus of the English public schools changed dramatically. At the start of the century an English upper-class student's leisure time was largely employed in roaming the country-side, trespassing on neighboring estates and poaching. Teachers' responsibilities ended at the classroom door. Seventy-five years later an English public school student's life was focussed on games and team sports including cricket and the various types of football. Teachers now ran all aspects of school life which was designed to instill the manly, Christian, virtues which would enable graduates to take their proper place as leaders in the British Empire. And team sports were a vehicle to achieve that end. Team sports such as cricket and rugby, and the various institutions that promoted them, occupied a central place in upper-class English life and became infused with what Professor Mangan refers to as the 'games ethic': the ideology of athleticism. When the British administrators, soldiers, and immigrants came to Canada they brought with them their love of games and this 'games ethic' that was modified by Canadian experience. In England the 'ethic' was firmly entrenched and supported by a unique class and social structure. Because that structure did not exist in Canada, the attempts of early British Canadians to instill the 'ethic' in the new country were problematic and played out in the conflict between amateurs and professionals. Although an emerging working-class culture and an increasingly commercialized society challenged and eventually made the distinction between amateur and professional athletes irrelevant, belief in the 'games ethic' and in the instrumental value of team sports survived and continues to influence Canadian sport policy today.
