The purposes of the study are to learn what the general areas of services are that the San Joaquin Health District is providing to the Stockton Unified School District, and to consider the fundamentals of organization and their application to the health services d related to teaching. To understand the problem of the study more completely, the investigator studied the roles of the Stockton Unified School District health personnel.

A theoretical energy balance model was used to predict water temperatures in small clear streams which have limited heat transfer due to ground water flow. The model was designed for application to coastal streams in central California to determine reservoir release policies that would improve downstream salmon habitat by altering stream temperatures. The results of the model are predicted to be applicable to small clear streams in moderately calm and humid areas throughout the temperate zone, where the winters are not prolonged, and where there is little ground Hater flow.. It predicts that all turbulently flowing wateracts ,. identically. It initially heats more rapidly than non-turbulent water, but reaches a lower asymptotic limit. The predicted water temperature was linearly related (in approximate descending order of importance) ·to the reciprocal of the square root of the thermal diffusivity of the substrate, the ambient water vapor pressure, the initial water temperature, the albedo of the stream bed, and the daily mean air temperature. It was found to have important curvilinear relationships with the angle of shading, the wind speed, and the depth. It was curvilinearly related to the latitude, but was surprisingly insensitive to it. It was insensitive to the annual mean temperature, and the range of daily air temperatures.

This thesis represents a zooplankton study of Tomales Bay, Marin County, California. It consists of two papers. The first paper, "The Abundance of Copepods in Tomales Bay, California" has been submitted to the California Fish and Game for publication. The second paper, "Diet Studies of the Ctenophore Pleurobrachia bachei has been submitted to Fishery Bulletin. The raw data has been compiled in the Appendix.

The purpose of this study is to find evidence that will show whether or not there is a need for a school housing program in the small rural school districts in San Joaquin County, California. The study is justified by a comparison of the present conditions of the schools to a set of standards for good schoolhouse construction which have been established by noted authorities and educators in the field.

The purpose of this study was to determine: (1) the importance first-grade teachers of San Joaquin County place on manipulative devices for the teaching of arithmetic; (2) the manipulative devices first-grade teachers of San Joaquin County have and use; and (3) the uses first-grade teachers of San Joaquin County make of manipulative devices in the teaching of arithmetic.

Consultants in elementary education use a variety of techniques in their work with teachers to improve instruction in schools. The problem with which this study will be concerned may be stated as follows: What supervisory techniques are employed by San Joaquin County consultants in elementary education in their efforts to improve instruction in schools that receive direct instructional supervision? The specific purposes of this study are: (1) To define the role of the elementary consultants in San Joaquin County.; (2) To identify the supervisory techniques that the consultants employ in their work with teachers.; (3) To survey the use of supervisory techniques with respect to frequency, number and length of supervisory visits, subject matter, categories of instructional responsibilities, experienced and inexperienced teachers, and judged success.; (4) To compare the scope of the supervisory techniques employed by the consultants with that contained in the literature, and with local practice.; (5) To make recommendations for improvements or changes that the study may show to be desirable.

Because Asclepias fascicularis is found on both serpentine and non-serpentine soils in California and because it was reported to accumulate sodium, this study was initiated to establish the degree of accumulation of this ion in these two soil types. Two other species, Asclepias speciosa Torr. and Asclepias cordifolia (Benth.) Jeps. were included to determine if this characteristic of accumulation occurs in other members of this genus.

This study deals with the tenure of teachers of the fifty-nine rural schools of San Joaquin County that have from one to twenty teachers each. The problem is to find and record the factors that influence teachers to continue teaching over a period of years in certain rural schools of San Joaquin County, rather than moving about.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the following question: Is the level of job satisfaction experienced by elementary school principals a function of age, sex, marital status, graduate training, ethnic background, number of years of principalship experience, size Of the student body, ethnic distribution of the students, community type, or salary?

From time to time there ha s been considerable discussion regarding the strengths and weaknesses of the attendance areas as they have developed in Calaveras County. Occasionally a change has been made and a school has been closed for lack of pupils or two or three school districts have been merged in an effort to strengthen the educational program for those districts but no study has ever been made with the purpose of placing schools in the county from the standpoint of building a sound and strong educational program for all children. This is the first study that has been made along these lines.
