A report on a "bright idea' which failed miserably': utilizing the radio for a community broadcast in order to extend exp'al group results. The error committed was an over-estimation of the degree to which letters, phone calls,& radio & newspaper appeals would motivate individuals to act as jurors for the radio broadcast of a trial. The high costs encountered in the 1st 2 yrs of jury exp'tion at the U of Chicago Law Sch led to the belief that an economy could be effected by utilizing the less intensive audience response instrument of the radio, while, at the same time, increasing the size of the sample. A pilot broadcast of a trial was presented on both the AM & FM frequencies of a northside Chicago radio station. An explanatory cover letter with return-postage post-card verdict form was sent to 1,000 names selected from the Chicago telephone directory. 400 of those who received letters were also phoned & requested to listen. 15% of the 1,000 cards were returned with only 6% or 60 cards listing verdicts. To discount the possibility that the poor results were due to lack of newspaper support, the weather, suspicion on the part of the metropolitan audience of the motives of the researchers & the coincidence of the broadcast with a Jewish holiday, it was decided to run the test in Middletown, Ohio. A high degree of support & publicity for the project was given by the local newspapers, radio station & Junior Chamber of Commerce. The time of the broadcast was scheduled to avoid conflict with popular TV programs & broadcasts of major league baseball games. In light of the high degree of preparation & publicity involved, the 13% return of the post cards defined the experiment a failure; with the failure attributable to 2 causes: the excessiveness of the requirement (listening to an hour-length radio broadcast & returning a post card), & the possibility that disagreement between husband & wife over the verdict might result in their refusing to return the post card.

Building no. 44. Constructed in 1922-12-24. Post plan no. 44. All that remains of seven houses on Officer's Row is the Commandant's Quarters (Building No. 44) and another relocated on 810 Van Buren Street (Building No. 40). These seven officer's homes had received the least damage from the 1933 hurricane. By October 1952 several houses were scheduled to be torn down and tenants were notified to vacate by February 1953. There were forty-four homes rented to veterans and their families. These homes were located near the parade grounds and to the south along Porter Drive. An unknown number of homes were sold and removed instead of being torn down. The six large field officer's quarters sold for about $2000 and smaller N.C.O. quarters for $1500. The first commander to live in the building was Alexander McDee McCook and the last was Abner Doubleday, who later developed the game of baseball. Guest dignitaries included aviator Charles Lindberg, general "John 'Black Jack' Pershing and John L. Clem, who gained fame as a boy during the Civil War when he was known as the 'Drummer Boy of Shiloh.'"The first TSC president to live in the home was C.J. Garland and the last was Arnulfo L. Oliveira. In the 1940's the building had an elongated living room with a library and bedroom on the first floor. An open hallway from the entrance led to the stairs and to the rear wing of the house with a large pantry, laundry room, kitchen, bath and large dining room. A maid's room was also part of the building. The maid's room, dining room and double story screened porch have been removed. The second floor had two baths and four bedrooms. Vacant since the early 1990's, the goal to restore it has been an ongoing effort. Speculation and doubt as to the age of the building has arisen in the past and alterations to the building since it was first built can be difficult to map. However, evidence to prove it is not an original Wainwright building has not surfaced. (Information written in 2004) ; https://scholarworks.utrgv.edu/ftbrown/1414/thumbnail.jpg

Last year you heard my distinguished predecessor, Dr. Coats, set forth a by-no-means modest claim for statistics in his brilliant address "Statistics Comes of Age". Sweeping as his claim was, Dr. Coats, by his great organizing and administrative abilities, has established it in this country. That he has through the shifting experiences of more than thirty years of public administration retained his vision and resourcefulness, is evidence of a high courage.It is now more than a hundred and sixty years since Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations, popularly conceived to be the beginning of specialized study of economics, was launched into the world of letters and affairs, and it is about fifty since Economics became a subject of specialized study in Canadian universities. One has only to scan university examination papers of the late eighties, based mainly on John Stuart Mill and Fawcett's little manual, to realize that in form at least the subject has changed profoundly. But what has been accomplished? Is it an instrument or a game that has been fashioned? If an instrument, what are its limitations?These and related questions have often been asked and answered, and the answers are not always to the economist's liking. Three years ago the then president of this Association asked, "What is left of Adam Smith?" and answered in substance, nothing except the economic man. Avoiding discussion of his exception, and adding one or two of our own, we can accept his answer as broadly not untrue. The implication, however, that modern economics even in rudimentary form is set forth in the Wealth of Nations, needs emphatic denial. As Professor Schumpeter has justly said: "Classical theory has no other claim to its epithet than pristine simplicity." And yet, the economics of the Wealth of Nations is of a type which the economist's critics would have him adopt—the espousal of a doctrine, the initiation of a movement, propagandizing a policy. Any body of doctrine limited and attached to a policy is necessarily tied to a particular era; most of the Wealth of Nations is now of historical interest only.

The following paper presents a study of the life histories of the two species of shrimp, Crago franciscorum (Stimpson) and Crago nigricauda (Stimpson), which make up the commercial shrimp catch of San Francisco Bay. The earliest shrimp fishing in San Francisco Bay was done about 1869 by Italian fishermen. The shrimp were taken in seines, 60 feet long by 8 feet deep, with a bag in the center. With this gear they took ample shrimp to supply the demand as well as some fish for the fresh fish market. In 1871 the Chinese began using the Chinese shrimp net which greatly increased the catch. By 1897 there were twenty-six camps operating on San Francisco Bay. For a time shrimp fishing was carried on also in Tomales Bay but was abandoned a few years prior to 1897. After the Chinese began shrimp fishing, the local market could absorb only a small part of the catch, as the consumption of fresh shrimp was always limited. A profitable export trade, however, was built up on the dried product which was shipped to the Orient. Agitation against the use of the Chinese shrimp nets soon developed, the contention being that many young fish were destroyed by them, particularly small striped bass in San Pablo Bay. In 1897 and again in 1910, N. B. Scofield investigated the Chinese shrimp fishery for the California Fish and Game Commission. In 1901, as a result of his findings, the Legislature established a closed season to shrimp fishing during the months of May, June, July and August. The Chinese hired attorneys to contest the laws restricting their operations, but in 1911 the use of the Chinese nets was prohibited entirely. In 1915 the Legislature passed a law allowing the use of the Chinese shrimp nets in south San Francisco Bay (District 13). About this time trawl fishing for shrimp started in the northern end of the bay. The trawl fishermen restrict their operations to north San Francisco Bay (District 12) so that catches from Districts 12 and 13 represent respectively the catch made with trawls and that made with the Chinese nets.

This is a letter from the Commissioner of Immigration Service of the U.S. Department of Labor asking about John Ma (Ma Yuehan; 马约翰), who was at that time studying at Springfield College (then known as International YMCA College) (April 7, 1920). The letter shows that John Ma entered the United States at San Francisco. The Commissioner signed his name on the bottom right corner of the letter but the signature is hard to read. The letter was later answered by the Associate Director of Physical Department confirming John Ma's attendance at the College. ; John Ma (Ma Yuehan; 马约翰) (1883-1966) was a pioneer in physical education and modern Chinese sports. He graduated with his BA from St. John's University in 1911 and, three years later, began teaching physical education at Tsinghua University in Beijing, China. In 1919, Ma traveled to the United States to earn his BA from Springfield College. He returned to China after graduating the following year and was promoted to director of physical education, a position he held for the next nine years. In 1926, he went on furlough and returned to Springfield College to earn his master's degree. From 1931 to 1932, Ma was the physical education director at Soochow University, and in 1934 he returned to his old position at Tsinghua College. In 1936, Ma coached the Chinese sports delegation at the 11th Olympic Games. In 1945, he became president of Tsinghua University. Ma taught physical education at Tsinghua University for fifty-two years and once coached their soccer team to victory in the North China Championship. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was elected the chairman of the All China Athletic Federation. Under the Wade-Giles romanization system, popular through most of the 20th century, John's surname was spelled "Mo" (as seen in this document). The system was designed by Thomas Wade during the mid-19th century and completed with Herbert Giles' Chinese–English Dictionary in 1892. However, since 1982 Hanyu Pinyin has been the international standard, and under this system his surname is spelled "Ma."

The bicycle in Victorian Britain is often celebrated as a vehicle of women's liberation. But much less is known about another critical technology with which women forged new and mobile public lives – cycle wear. Despite its benefits, cycling was a material and ideological minefield for women. Conventional fashions were vastly inappropriate, with skirts catching in wheels and tangling in pedals. Yet wearing more identifiable 'rational' cycle wear could elicit verbal and sometimes physical abuse from parts of society threatened by newly mobile women.

An inside look at young Iranians navigating poverty and stigma in a time of crisis Crippling sanctions, inflation, and unemployment have increasingly burdened young people in the Islamic Republic of Iran. In Coming of Age in Iran, Manata Hashemi takes us inside the lives of poor Iranian youth, showing how these young men and women face their future prospects.Drawing on first-hand accounts, Hashemi follows their stories, one by one, as they struggle to climb up the proverbial ladder of success. Based on years of ethnographic research among these youth in their homes, workspaces, and places of leisure, Hashemi shows how public judgments can give rise to meaningful changes for some while making it harder for others to escape poverty. Ultimately, Hashemi sheds light on the pressures these young men and women face, showing how many choose to comply with—rather than resist—social norms in their pursuit of status and belonging.Coming of Age in Iran tells the unprecedented story of how Iran's young and struggling attempt to extend dignity and alleviate misery, illuminating the promises—and limits—of finding one's place during a time of profound uncertainty

Lernende als Teilgebende, nicht als Teilnehmende: Die Autorinnen und Autoren des Sammelbandes beschreiben Konzepte und Umsetzungsbeispiele für selbstorganisiertes Lernen an der Hochschule. Der interdisziplinär-fachdidaktische Band verknüpft die reflektierte Auseinandersetzung mit dem eigenen Tun als Hochschullehrende mit Expertisen aus verschiedenen Hochschuldisziplinen. Im Fokus stehen dabei didaktische Konzepte und Formate, mit denen Studierende ihr Lernen selbst gestalten können. Die Verschiebung des Fokus von der klassischen, rhetorisch-lehrendenzentrierten Vermittlung zur Selbstorganisation von Lernen aktiviert die Studierenden nachhaltig und ermöglicht neue Zugänge zum Lernstoff. Die vorgestellten Strategien, Formate und Methoden sind fachübergreifend und adressieren verschiedene Stadien des Studiums, von der Studieneingangsphase über das Masterstudium bis hin zur Promotion. Ein Exkurs zur Wirkung von Humor für eine anregende, positive Lernatmosphäre bildet den Schlusspunkt des Bandes.

Der Diskurs um die Entstehung einer gemeinsamen europäischen Kulturlandschaft hat bisher zwei Aspekte vernachlässigt, die gerade für die junge Generation zentral sind, Körperlichkeit und Kreativität. Daher fragen die Beiträger_innen dieses Bandes einesteils nach den sozialpolitischen, ökonomischen bzw. pädagogischen Bedingungen kreativer Entfaltung. Andernteils beleuchten sie spielerische Techniken der Selbst(er)findung, Körpergestaltung und Selbstdarstellung (HipHop, Tattoo, Techno) bzw. solche, die interaktiv (Tanz) oder medial (Videoclip, Computerspiel) einen Commonsense sich differenzierender Subjekte erzeugen.

Planspiele sind eine bewährte Methode der politischen Bildung, um komplexe Zusammenhänge handlungsorientiert zu vermitteln. Forschungsergebnisse unterstreichen ihr Potenzial, bei Teilnehmenden politisches Interesse und Selbstwirksamkeitsüberzeugungen sowie Kenntnisse über politische Prozesse, Strukturen und Inhalte zu fördern. Bisher gibt es jedoch kaum Angebote, die Schüler:innen zu einer kritischen Auseinandersetzung mit den Themen Wohnraum als gesellschaftliches Konfliktfeld und politischem Protest einladen. Das Planspiel "Alte Linde" greift dies auf und simuliert den Umgang von Jugendlichen mit der bevorstehenden Verdrängung eines von ihnen genutzten Kulturzentrums. Der vorliegende Beitrag präsentiert erste Ergebnisse einer empirischen Begleitstudie zu dem Planspiel.

Der vorliegende Aufsatz beleuchtet das Phänomen digitaler Spiele hinsichtlich ihrer Bedeutung als sozialräumliche Umgebungen, sowie die gesellschaftlichen Debatten, welche bisher im Hinblick auf abweichendes Verhalten wie Sucht oder Aggression im Zusammenhang mit digitalen Spielen geführt wurden. Er dient als Hinführung an die Analyse der Zusammenhänge von Rechtsextremismus und Gamingkultur, welche im Hinblick auf Gewalttaten mit rechtsextremen Motiven und ästhetischen Bezügen zu digitalen Spielen erkennbar wurden. Dazu werden zunächst Realitätskonzepte digitaler Spiele sowie die sozialräumliche Aneignung digitaler Spielwelten vorgestellt sowie im Anschluss daran vergangene gesellschaftliche Debatten um digitale Spiele skizziert.
