"Since reading is a skill of utmost importance for successful academic progress, its teaching has become a topic of major concern to all educators. The promotion of policies of many schools are based on reading achievement as measured by the teacher's informal appraisals and tests. There is a necessity of investigating the conditions present at the beginning stages of reading for there is a higher percentage of pupil failure in the first grade than in any other grade"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "June, 1952." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Advisor: Elizabeth Hamlin, Professor Directing Paper. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 35-36).

The specific teaching situation described in this paper took place in a large elementary school. The school is located in a fairly prosperous farming and tourist center on the central west coast of Florida. The enrollment of this school is composed chiefly of children who live in the town. Approximately one-fifth of the children lives in outlying areas and about one-fifth are tourists who spend from a week to almost a year in the school. The teacher referred to in this paper is the author. / "August 1949." / Typescript. / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Education under Plan II." / Advisor: Robert C.

"It is the purpose of this paper to explore the professional literature in the field of reading in order that the writer may improve her teaching techniques, thereby aiding each child to develop further his reading abilities. An effort is made to investigate (1) the factors contributing to poor reading ability, (2) the means a classroom teacher may use in ascertaining factors in reading disability, (3) the ways available to a classroom teacher for increasing reading efficiency for children who have shown signs of difficulty"--Introduction. / "August, 1951." / Typescript. / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Advisor: Mildred E. Swearingen, Professor Directing Paper. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 54-57).

"If schooling is to contribute more largely in the future than in the past to intelligent self-direction and social progress, it is imperative that children and young people acquire greater independence and efficiency in reading. It is the responsibility of the elementary school to lay the foundation of reading and of the junior and senior high schools to build upon that foundation, consistently, harmoniously, and substantially. Until the time comes that schools will be much different from what they are today, the English class must assume the chief responsibility for that training although instruction in reading should be regarded as a part of the work in such subject-matter fields as geography, history, science, and literature"--Introduction. / "August, 1950." / Typescript. / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Advisor: Mode L.

Releases of nonaqueous phase liquids (NAPLs) to groundwater systems are a serious and widespread problem throughout the United States. Research was conducted to determine if numerical groundwater flow and transport models could evaluate the effectiveness of alternative remedial strategies to reduce dissolved hydrocarbon contamination in aquifers, and therefore serve as tools to aid environmental managers in the remedial decision making process. A fuel distribution terminal in the Eastern United States was selected as the test site. A release of diesel and jet fuels from the terminal loading rack area contaminated the unconfined aquifer beneath the terminal and migrated off-site, impacting commercial and residential areas. In the analyses, groundwater flow and transport models were calibrated to site data. The calibrated models were applied to simulate four remedial options: (1) natural attenuation, (2) groundwater extraction, (3) groundwater flushing, and (4) microbial fences. Results of the predictive simulations indicated that the groundwater flushing remedial option provided the greatest reduction of benzene and TEX mass from the NAPL source as well as the lowest concentrations of benzene and TEX in the aquifer. The calibrated numerical models were able to predict the effectiveness of various remedial options and provide a basis for comparison. The modeling in conjunction with other factors, such as cost, were utilized to facilitate the decision making process. / Master of Science
