The purpose of the study is to determine each child's total readiness status at the beginning of the investigation, surround each with socializing experiences appropriate to his need, and then determine whether measurable benefits appear to result from his participation in the specific activities designed for social development.

Photograph of Victor Lewis (left) and H. Hoffman, Soil Conservation Service [SCS] technician on the right, examining Bermuda grass which is making a vigorous growth in a field of hairy vetch. This was a needle grass field and out of cultivation since 1949 until the hairy vetch was seeded in the needle grass (but without seed bed preparation) and fertilized at the rate of 400 pounds of 0-20-0 fertilizer per acre. This is one method of establishing Bermuda grass on needle grass land. Where there is no Bermuda grass present, it is necessary to sod the land after the fertility has been improved with vetch and 0-20-0 fertilizer. Class VI, Soil Unit 6. TX-47-601.

Photograph of collective terrace outlet which has been sodded to Bermuda grass and fenced for grazing. The outlet was sodded in April, 1948. It is 100 feet wide and when a good cover of grass became established the field was terraced in the fall of 1949. The drainage from 25 acres of terraced land empties on this outlet. Cattle can be seen grazing on the outlet in the background. Class III, Soil Unit. 2. TX-47-599.

"The organized woman's club movement spread into the State of Texas. Beginning as associations for self-culture and intellectual development, the clubs were soon laying the foundation for better conditions of living in their communities. Since Texas was largely in the pioneer stage of development with widely separated communities, the women's clubs in small centers became the nucleii for civic improvements. One of these small centers was the town of Gainesville, Texas, with a population of about 6,000 in the year 1893. That year the first women's club in the town was organized and named the Gainesville XLI Club. This club helped form the State Council of Women of Texas, formerly called the Women's Congress, in 1894, which was three years before the formation of the Texas Federation of Women's Clubs."-- pg. 9-10 "It will, perhaps, be seen from the above survey that no transformation in modern society has been more striking or more fraught with significance than the change in the political, legal, economic, moral, and social status of women. Women's clubs were organized for discussion and study, with interests that varied according to location, surroundings, opportunities, and aspirations. The history of a pioneer club portrays the stages of development …

A survey of language in a certain area is designed primarily to present a living language as it is actually spoken; thus, a morphological study of language is designed to determine the most widely-used syntactical and grammatical forms and to record these forms in a statistical manner. These findings are to be interpreted in the light of similar studies, not with the purpose of establishing the cultural level of the language in the area surveyed, but to present all the possible variations, and, in some cases, to draw a comparison as a matter of record between the forms found to be commonly used in every-day speech and the standard usage as given by leading linguistic authorities.
