The problem of juvenile delinquency is one that has received increasing emphasis during the past ten years. The rise and spread of the Coordinating Council Movement, the number of surveys made by public and private agencies on the subject, the increasing number of books published that deal with the problem and the new knowledge that has come from the Child Welfare Centers, the psychiatrists, and the psychologiste have all been noted and used by the various groups of interested citizens. Not only have we seen the rise of leisure time activities that are designed to meet the needs of the individual as well on the exceptional child, but we cannot forget the philosophy behind the present day educational theory that is re- calving more and more emphasis. The development of the guidance program, the new and broader concept of education as "all and any experience that widens the horizons of the ch114", and the on the one work program in Child Welfare Centers have all helped to bring the problem of how to lower the juvenile delinquency rate to the fore.

Morbidity data for chlamydia {CT) and gonorrhea (GC) reported to San Joaquin County (SJC) Department of Health Services (DHS) from 1997 to 2006 was analyzed to geographically locate high risk areas and populations. The largest city in SJC is Stockton, which had the highest incidence rates and highest rates of repeat infections per population, and therefore is the primary focus of this analysis. Rates were determined by dividing the number of infections per census tract by the census 2000 population of each tract. Maps were made first for incidence (cumulative and annual), then for repeat infections, and then coinfections. Census tracts that continually showed high rates of infections were then mapped at the block level to locate more focused areas of infection. Demographic characteristics such as age, gender, race/ethnicity, incarceration, and poverty provided information on the high risk population. Case information was also examined by provider location and the treatment administered. By examining the population characteristics with the highest risk, along with the geographic location, outreach efforts by SJC DHS were far more focused and productive at targeting the core transmissions groups. Also through understanding where the cases were seeking treatment, or identifying a lack of medical availability in certain areas, SJC DHS can contact providers to distribute updated treatment guidelines and educational information to pass on to their patients.

This investigation is concerned with the extent to which male elementary teachers of San Joaquin County were holding non professional part-time jobs and why.

The major purpose of this study was to correlate certain personal characteristics of mothers and their offspring with the occurrence of toxoplasmosis serum antibodies in these women. As a byproduct, we determined the prevalence and incidence of toxoplasmosis in a particular subgroup of women in the Stockton, California area of San Joaquin County. We had also hoped to provide early diagnostic services and follow up for any infected infants that we encountered. Unfortunately, follow up on these infants has been difficult largely due to the migrant habits of this particular group of seasonal farm workers. For these reasons this study will deal mainly with the epidemiological aspects of the disease and the statistical analysis of data from laboratory examination of blood samples, from questionnaire responses, and from information provided on physical exams of the newborns.

The term “delta area” refers to a region roughly 40 miles long and 15 miles wide situated 65 miles east of San Francisco Bay where the San Joaquin and Sacramento Rivers join and enter Suisun Bay. The waterways in this area are fresh water from these rivers, but they are affected by the ocean tides and to some extent by the salinity of the ocean water. The rgeion ecompasses about 507,000 acres, most of which has been reclaimed for agricultural purposes by the construction of levees to contain the tides and high waters. The word “islands” is used locally to designate this area. The part played by beavers in the exploration and colonization of this nation was a very important one. The fur trappers in their quest for new areas in which to trap, vigorously explored unknown regions. Knowledge concerning the geography of the new land was passed on the colonists who were eagerly seeking new and suitable sites for home and farms. Thus did the beaver and other fur-bearing animals indirectly speed the development of the nation.

Plants of this family which contains about seventy four genera and five hundred end fifty species widely distributed over the world, are known by several common names, such as pig weed, goose foot, and salt bush. They are primarily plents of alkaline or saline soil and co such a unique purpose in the plant real thriving where it is impossible for other plants to grow. The term "salt bush" according to G.L. Bi-well, is more specifically applied to a group of individuals having a pronounced salty tante, a majority of which belong to the botanical genus Atriplex. This group contains the most species and the greatest number of individuals.

This thesis discusses the need for more courses particularly suited to the educational requirements of non-transfer students in San Joaquin Delta College with special reference to the Home Economics Curriculum. In 1955, Mr. Frank Jacobs, Director ,of Technological Education, San Joaquin Delta College~ did a survey on transfer and non-transfer students and concluded that 80% did not complete the baccalaureate requirements. This thesis will develop the pertinence of these findings to Home Economics course offerings for Associate of Arts degree or Part-time students. The San Joaquin Delta College bulletin includes in its philosophy vocational education for those students who complete their education at the end of two years.
