The Influence Of College Courses On Individual Differences, Clarke Carson Mcilree
The Influence Of College Courses On Individual Differences, Clarke Carson Mcilree
Master's Theses
What is the effect of college training upon individuals? More specifically, do college students become more alike or more unlike in , respect to the achievement involved in a college course as a result of taking the course? That is the question which this study will investigate. The importance of this question to the educator is that it involves educational technique and philosophy. If it is found that our educational system decreases individual differences and has the effect therefore, of equalizing opportunity, our philosophy of universal education as an important factor in the achievement of democracy is valid. On the …

The Value Of Relaxation As Preparation For Rational Psychotherapy, John M. Hadley
The Value Of Relaxation As Preparation For Rational Psychotherapy, John M. Hadley
Master's Theses
The suggested uses of relaxation given by the technique of Freud coupled with the findings of Jacobson, Ferenczi and Bagchi have prompted the investigator to make some observations of the function of relaxation in rational psychotherapy. This presupposes that relaxation is used with considerable discretion. The investigation has been stimulated by a growing tendency in the Fort Hays Kansas State College Psychological Clinic to treat patients from the standpoint of the whole individual until specific traumata can be discovered In considering the value of relaxation, it may be well to think of the individual in much the same manner as …

A Financial Study Of The City Of Hays, Ellis County, Kansas, Lorenze Randall Bingham
A Financial Study Of The City Of Hays, Ellis County, Kansas, Lorenze Randall Bingham
Master's Theses
The great problem of municipal finance with which a majority of our municipalities are confronted at the present time is a problem that can be attacked only through a slow process of analysis and investigation. Slashing of salaries, indiscriminate dispensing with the various services offered by the city in prosperous times, and increasing of bonded indebtedness will not in any sense provide a permanent solution to the problem. The difficulty is in tracing the course of money taken in by the city from its source to its ultimate use in providing that which the citizens demand. When this has been …

Frequent changes have been made but the facts still remain that one of the main defects is …
The Trend Of Financing Urban Property, Irvine F. Wilson
The Trend Of Financing Urban Property, Irvine F. Wilson
Master's Theses
This thesis is intended as a survey of trends in financing urban property. Urban property, as construed by this study, includes all incorporated cities, towns, and villages. This interpretation is used firstly in order that a complete analysis might be pictured and secondly, because investments in property are not necessarily restricted because of the number of inhabitants in a particular town or city. The report abounds not only in graphs and curves which indicate movements, but also explanatory material and tabulated statistics when deemed necessary to present a complete authentic picture.

Master's Theses
The main purpose of this thesis is to point out the significant trends in governmental revenue receipts and expenditures in Kansas during the period from 1880 through 1934. Especial attention is given to the state government as opposed to the local governments.
