Creighton, J. W.
"If the Chinese men and women of like passions and abilities as ourselves, we are free to develop Chinese education on lines similar to those in the West, always being able to use the results of western progress in the solutions of the problems of the East. If, on the other hand, there are wide racial differences, it is encumbent upon educators to study these differences and evaluate them carefully as a preliminary step in the great work of education of China. Before a course of study is adopted, before a system of schools built after a foreign model is organized, it would seem wise to attack the problem at the very bottom and seek to find out all we can of the native ability of the Chinese himself. Such is the purpose of this study, and with such a purpose it seeks to contribute something toward the practical solution of some of the great problems of Chinese education."--Text taken from page 4.

Weiss, Albert Paul
"From the impression which gradually developed during the course of the experiment it seems probable to the writer that both difference in vibration rates and the ratios of the intervals have an influence upon the judgments of the tone intensities. It is these facts mainly which led him to conclude that the intensity judgment in audition is really a mixed judgment. A tone may be judged as strong as another tone one moment, but presented again a few moments later, they will be judged of different intensity."--Text taken from page 80.

Thrun, Walter Eugene, 1892-
When Hausmann introduced his method for nitrogen distribution into protein analysis, he opened the way for great progress in that line of investigation. Winterstein later showed that phoaphotungstic acid would also precipitate cystine. Van Slyke improved the gasometric method of Sachse and Kormann for the determination of amino nitrogen and from these methods of analysis worked out a combination of them for determining arginine, histidine, lysine, and cystine in proteins. Several improvements in the method, such as removal of the phosphotungstic acid from the precipitate of the bases by shaking it out with amyl alcohol and ether by Van Slyke and the boiling of the bases with alkali of lower concentration for determination of the arginine by Plimmer have recently been published. The method has been widely used in the analysis of various proteins, tissues, foods and feeding stuffs. For this study a number of beef proteins were analyzed according to the Van Slyke method. The proteins used represent the fractions of the flesh as developed by Grindley. The cold water insoluble protein is a mixture of stroma and plasma proteins and contains albuminoids, and nucleo proteins. The cold water soluble, heat coagulable fraction is a mixture of plasma protein, the albumins and globulins flesh. On page 40 is given an analysis of the flesh of a newborn calf showing just what part of the flesh these fractions represent. A description of the samples and the method of preparing them is given in a later section.

Taft, Linwood
Text from page 1: "The aim of this study is to trace the development of manual arts instruction from the time when it was first suggested as a possible solution for the problem of a more practical training in school for the actual occupations of life down to the present bifurcation into the distinct fields of (1) general manual arts courses in the common schools and (2) special vocational courses in trade and vocational schools under public control."
