Progress Made by Two Age Groups of First-Grade Children

Marlin, Oleta Nedra 08 1900 (has links)
The three-fold purpose of this study is: 1. To contrast the physical, mental, and emotional development of children who were six to six and one-half years old with those who were older than six and one-half at the beginning of the school year. 2. To contrast the amount of progress made in subject-matter achievement and in emotional development. 3. To determine, by comparison of the two groups, which group had the advantage as far as subject-matter achievement, adjustment, and behavior were concerned.

The Texas Response to the Mexican Revolution: Texans' Involvement with U.S. Foreign Policy Toward Mexico During the Wilson Administration

Snow, L. Ray (Livveun Ray) 05 1900 (has links)
The Mexican Revolution probably affected Texas more than any other state. As the Revolution intensified, Texans responded with increased efforts to shape the Mexican policies of the Woodrow Wilson administration. Some became directly involved in the Revolution and the U.S. reaction to it, but most Texans sought to influence American policy toward Mexico through pressure on their political leaders in Austin and Washington. Based primarily on research in the private and public papers of leading state and national political figures, archival sources such as the Congressional Record and the Department of State's decimal file, major newspapers of the era, and respected works, this study details the successes and failures that Texans experienced in their endeavors to influence Wilson's Mexican policies.

A Comparative Study of America's Entries into World War I and World War II.

Taylor, Samantha Alisha 09 May 2009 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis studies events that preceded America's entries into the First and Second World Wars to discover similarities and dissimilarities. Comparing America's entries into the World Wars provides an insight into major events that influenced future ones and changed America. Research was conducted from primary sources of Presidents Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt. In addition, secondary sources were used that study the events preceding America's entries into World War I and World War II. Research was also conducted on public opinion. In World War I, German actions angered Wilson and segments of the American public, persuading Wilson to ask for a declaration of war. While German aggression shaped American opinion in World War II, Japanese action forced the United States to enter the war. In both cases, the tone of aggression that molded the foreign policy of Presidents Wilson and Roosevelt and shaped American public opinion originated from Germany.

« The fight for the minds of men » : le Committee on Public Information et son exportation dans le monde (1917-1919)

Guy, Frédéric 08 1900 (has links)
Ce mémoire de maîtrise examine la création aux États-Unis du Committee on Public Information (CPI) et son implantation en Europe, et analyse la relation qui s’établit entre son directeur, George Creel, et le président Woodrow Wilson. Les archives mobilisées pour cette recherche sont des lettres et documents, datés de 1916 à 1920, issus des Woodrow Wilson Papers déposés à la Library of Congress de Washington. Au moment de l’entrée en guerre des États-Unis en avril 1917, le gouvernement — suivant un courant de pensée émergeant au XIXe siècle sur le pouvoir de l’opinion publique — prend conscience de l’importance de maintenir un engouement pour la guerre auprès de sa population, ce qui mène à la création du CPI. Ce comité de « propagande » n’a pas originellement vocation à déborder des frontières américaines. Ce n’est qu’après la révolution en Russie à l’automne 1917 et face à la peur de voir cet allié sortir de la guerre que prend forme l’idée d’exporter les valeurs démocratiques américaines et les idées wilsoniennes dans le monde afin de gardées mobilisées les populations alliées et préparer le terrain pour l’après-guerre. Loin de se restreindre à la Russie, le comité étend son travail aux autres pays de l’Entente et aux neutres, avec comme objectif d’atteindre éventuellement les populations des empires centraux. L’analyse des échangés entre le président et George Creel met en lumière la collaboration étroite entre les deux hommes et la relation d’interdépendance qui s’établit entre eux au cours de la guerre. Le CPI trouve dans le président un soutien précieux afin d’affirmer son autorité et ainsi atteindre un plus grand public, malgré les critiques acerbes provenant du personnel diplomatique en poste à l’étranger et méfiant quant aux objectifs et méthodes du comité. Inversement, le Président bénéficie d’une organisation dédiée à mettre en valeur ses idéaux en Amérique et dans le monde. Ce mémoire est la première recherche qui examine de façon globale l’œuvre du CPI sur le continent européen. / This master's thesis examines the creation in the United States of the Committee on Public Information (CPI) and its deployment in Europe, and analyzes the relationship that developed between its director, George Creel, and President Woodrow Wilson. The archives used for this research are letters and documents, dated from 1916 to 1920, from the Woodrow Wilson Papers in the Library of Congress in Washington. Upon the entry of the United States into the war in April 1917, the government - following a trend of thought emerging in the nineteenth century on the power of public opinion - became aware of the importance of maintaining enthusiasm for the war among its population, which led to the creation of the CPI. This "propaganda" committee was not originally intended to extend beyond American borders. It was only after the revolution in Russia in the fall of 1917 and the fear of seeing this ally leave the war that the idea of exporting American democratic values and Wilsonian ideas around the world took shape in order to keep the allied populations mobilized and prepare the ground for the post-war period. Far from restricting itself to Russia, the committee extended its work to other Entente countries and neutrals, with the aim of eventually reaching the populations of the central empires. An analysis of the exchanges between the President and George Creel highlights the close collaboration between the two men and the interdependence that developed between them during the war. The CPI found in the President a valuable support in order to assert its authority and thus reach a wider public, despite the sharp criticism coming from the diplomatic personnel posted abroad who was suspicious of the committee's objectives and methods. In return, the President benefits from an organization dedicated to showcasing his ideals in the United States and around the world. This dissertation is the first research to examine the work of the CPI on the European continent globally.

La "sortie de guerre" des enfants français : le cas des lettres envoyées au président Woodrow Wilson (1918‐1919)

Lefort, Marie-Claire 08 1900 (has links)
L’application aux civils du concept de « sortie de guerre » offre aux historiens de nouvelles pistes de recherche. Bien que la mobilisation culturelle de l’enfance dans la Grande Guerre ait fait l’objet de plusieurs études depuis les dernières années, le processus de démobilisation reste, quant à lui, peu exploré. Ce mémoire s’intéressera donc à la « sortie de guerre » chez les enfants français, à travers des sources inédites : des lettres adressées au président des États-Unis, Woodrow Wilson, à la fin de 1918. L’analyse met en lumière la perception des enfants sur la paix, la guerre, les Américains, et les changements de leur quotidien depuis l’armistice. Après une première partie historiographique, le deuxième chapitre portera sur la représentation de Wilson, des Américains et de la paix. Dans le dernier chapitre seront analysés le quotidien des enfants dans les mois suivant l’armistice, les représentations de la guerre et le processus de démobilisation. Fin 1918, la guerre tient encore beaucoup de place dans les propos des enfants et peu de signes de démobilisation émergent de leurs lettres. Ainsi, le président américain est représenté comme le sauveur de la France et le grand vainqueur de la guerre plutôt qu’en apôtre de la paix. Le sujet principal des lettres porte ainsi sur la reconnaissance et la gratitude des enfants envers le président et les États-Unis pour leur participation à la guerre et pour l’aide à la victoire. Les valeurs et le passé communs entre les deux pays alliés, exploités par la propagande de guerre, sont soulignés par les enfants. La fin de la guerre commence à peine à se faire ressentir dans le quotidien des enfants. La période est marquée par les célébrations de la victoire. De plus, la peur tend à s’atténuer avec la fin des violences de guerre et des nouveaux deuils. Les perturbations de la guerre demeurent cependant chez plusieurs enfants, particulièrement chez les réfugiés et les orphelins de guerre : la pauvreté, les séparations familiales et les privations alimentaires en affectent ainsi plusieurs. La perpétuation de ce climat de guerre influence la démobilisation des enfants, qui manifestent leur patriotisme et leur haine de l’ennemi. Les représentations de l’ennemi et des combattants du temps de la guerre prévalent donc encore, mais les enfants expriment néanmoins leur lassitude du conflit et leur désir d’un rapide retour à la normale. / Applied to civilians, the study of how French got out of the war (“sortie de guerre”) offers new perspectives to historians. The cultural mobilization of children during the Great War has led to several studies but demobilization is yet overlooked. This master thesis will examine the “coming out of the war” of French children through previously unexamined sources : letters to the American president Woodrow Wilson in late 1918. This analysis highlights the perception of children regarding peace, war, the American people, and the changes in their daily life since the armistice. The first chapter of this dissertation will address historiographical issues. The second will examine the representations of Wilson and the American people in the letters as well as the children perception of peace. The last chapter will focus on the children’s depictions of their daily life in the months following the armistice, their representations of the war and the youth demobilization process. At the end of 1918, the war still takes plenty of room in the children letters and only few signs of cultural demobilization emerges in them. The president is portrayed as the savior of France but, more interestingly as a great man of the war, rather than as an apostle of peace. The main purpose of the children’s letters is to show gratitude to the president for the participation of his country in the victorious war. The common values and shared history between the two allied countries, drawn from the war propaganda, are often highlighted by the children. The end of the war is just beginning to be felt in the lives of children. This period is marked by celebrations of victory, as fear disappears with the end of war violence and of new grieves. However, for several children, the disruption of war remains, particularly among refugees and war orphans. Poverty, food deprivation and family separations affect many children. This outgoing situation influences the demobilization of children, who show their patriotism and their hatred of the Germans through their letters. Although if wartime representations of the enemy and soldiers still prevail, children continue to express their weariness of the conflict and their desire for a rapid return to normalcy.

The Polish Army in France: Immigrants in America, World War I Volunteers in France, Defenders of the Recreated State in Poland

Ruskoski, David Thomas 28 July 2006 (has links)
Independent Poland ceased to exist in 1795 and the various insurrections to restore the Polish state were thwarted by the Germans, Austro-Hungarians, and Russians. During the First World War, Polish statesmen called upon the thousands of Polish immigrants in the United States to join the Polish Army in France, a military force funded by the French government and organized by the Polish Falcons of America and Ignacy Paderewski, the world-famous Polish pianist. Over 20,000 men trained in Canada and fought in the final months of the war on the Western front. While in France they were placed under the command of General Jozef Haller and became known as Haller’s Army. At the conclusion of the war, the Allied leaders at the Paris Peace Conference decided to send the soldiers to Poland to fight in the Polish-Soviet War to stop the western advance of the Bolsheviks. When the war ended, the United States government, with the influence of Secretary of State Robert Lansing, funded the return of the soldiers to their homes in the United States. This dissertation focuses on questions of the relationships among foreign policy, nationalism, and immigration and investigates forced recruitment, dissatisfaction with the cause of Polish independence exacerbated by difficult wartime conditions, nationalism among immigrant groups, ethnic identity, and anti-Semitism.
