Arthur L. Flagg mining photo collection inventory
No full textThis inventory describes photos taken by A. L. Flagg during his travels as a mining engineer over the period 1905 to 1955 and they capture life in developing western North America. The photographs were largely identified using notes made by A.L. Flagg, research of ADMMR’s mine files and mining periodicals of the time. Principle photograph locations are in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Rhode Island, and Washington along with Durango and Oaxaca, Mexico. Arthur Leonard Flagg was born June 29, 1883, the son of Charles Welford and Anna R. (Daley) Flagg. He earned his bachelor’s degree in geology at Brown University in 1906. As a young mining engineer Arthur Flagg followed Horace Greeley’s advice and went west. He worked at assaying, surveying, and mining in Yavapai County, Arizona, during 1906 and 1907. From 1908 to 1912 he held a position as mine examiner in Durango, Mexico. In 1912, Arthur Flagg went into private practice as consulting engineer in Washington and Idaho. In 1913, he became manager of the Kelvin Sultana Copper Company, a position which he held until taking over as receiver of the Company in 1916. He resumed his private practice in Arizona in 1919. He has also held the positions of director of the Ace Mineral and Development Company, consulting engineer of the Gallagher Vanadium and Rare Mineral Corporation, and vice president of the Mines Holding Company. Mr. Flagg was appointed superintendent of the Mineral Department of the Arizona State Fair in 1946. In 1949, he became the mineral museum curator for the Arizona Department of Mineral Resources. In 1953, he turned 70, the retirement age for State employees, so several mining companies combined resources to pay his salary to keep him in the position of curator of the mineral museum. He contributed to many organizations including: Sigma Chi fraternity; American Association for the Advancement of Science; American Institute of Mining Engineers; Arizona Academy of Sciences; American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers; Arizona Small Mine Operators and the Heard Museum Board. He was also president of the Mineralogical Society of Arizona, the Rocky Mountain Federation of Mineralogical Societies, and the American Federation of Mineralogical Societies. He was co-founder of the first two. Mr. Flagg was the author of many contributions to mineral and mining publications and two books: Rockhounds & Arizona Minerals and Mineralogical Journeys in Arizona.The Flagg Mineral Foundation donated the photos to the Arizona Department of Mines and Minerals. The Arizona Geological Survey received the collection from ADMMR in 2011 when it took custody of the agency's records.Documents in the AZGS Documents Repository collection are made available by the Arizona Geological Survey (AZGS) and the University Libraries at the University of Arizona.

A REVIEW Of the Cattle Business in Johnson County, Wyoming SINCE 1882 And the Causes that Led to the Recent Invasion
No full textA Review of the Cattle Business in Johnson County, Wyoming, Since 1882, and the Causes That Led to the Recent Invasion by Oscar H. Flagg has been ignored by every historian of the period until now with the exception of one who borrowed extensively from it without acknowledgment. Never yet between covers, it ran serially in the weekly Buffalo (Wyoming) Bulletin for eleven installments in 1892, the first appearing when Nate Champion was scarcely three weeks in his grave. The book is biased where its author\u27s personal conflicts are involved but is largely accurate in regard to general facts, as revealed by crosschecking with other sources. It gives the best close-up picture in existence of the feuds on Powder River, and it is a remarkable piece of work in view of its author\u27s lack of training. Jack Flagg was born in West Virginia in 1861 and left home as a lad to go to Texas at the height of the cow-trail fever. He came up to Wyoming with a herd in 1882 and thereafter punched cows in Johnson County, working at least three years for the English-owned Bar C outfit on Powder River. Then he was blackballed by the all-powerful Stock-Grower\u27s Association, which amounted to declaring him an outlaw. In return he declared war on the big outfits. From their point of view they were quite right in calling him a dangerous man. -- Helena Huntington Smith in her War on Powder River (McGraw-Hill, cl966

No full textThe present status of Biology teaching in twenty accredited high schools for Negroes in Georgia: 1936-1937, 1937
No full textProblem. This study is undertaken for the purpose of ascertaining the present status of biology in a selected number of schools as may be revealed by (a) textbook content, (b) teaching methods, (c) laboratory, and (d) library facilities provided, and (e) the qualifications of the biology teachers. Procedure. Visits were made to the twenty schools involved in the study. Of the forty accredited senior high schools for Negroes in Georgia, twenty were chosen for this study. It was discovered later, however, that two of these schools do not offer an organized course in biology. Mention of this fact, of course, is primarily to indicate the scope of the present sampling. The schools selected are classified by the State Department of Education as follows:Group I has better facilities, and at least three fourths of the teachers hold degrees. Group two represents those schools that are not so good as those in group one, but offer sixteen units. A check list was formulated, after making a survey of the literature, from which suggestions as to certain items deserving to be noted were obtained. Visits were made to these twenty schools. No data were secured from the schools not offering biology as an organized course. Data from the eighteen schools were collected---through observation of classroom teaching, and the teaching facilities on hand. Findings. The organization and interpretation of the data resulted in the following findings: (1) Eighteen schools offer biology as an organized course. (2) Two schools do not offer it. (3) Five different basic textbooks are in use throughout these eighteen schools. Sixty-one per cent are using editions of the biology by Smallwood, Reveley, and Bailey. (4) The Twenty-one biology teachers are using two or more of the following procedures in teaching this subject: question and answer, unit organization, projects, lecture, voluntary projects. (5) One school only is using a modified "Morrison Plan." (6) Adequate teaching facilities are lacking in most of the schools. (7) Little use is being made of environmental materials. (8) Two teachers, only, stated that they had used standardized objective tests. (9) The passing mark is seventy per cent in seventeen schools, and "D" in one school. (10) More students are studying biology than any other science offered in these schools. (11) Eighty-eight and two tenths per cent of all students studying biology are passing in this subject, and eleven and seven tenths per cent are failing. (12) Most of the twenty-one teachers did not major in biology in college. (13) A very small per cent of the teachers have had certain basis courses in biology that are considered essential in teaching this subject effectively . Recommendations. It seems that the following suggestions might prove helpful in teaching biology: (1) More emphasis should be placed upon the study of environmental specimens. (2) A general knowledge of botany ought to be stressed in high school to a greater extent than the data of this study indicate. (3) More attention should be given to the functional values of biology. (4) There ought to be an opportunity provided for the biology teachers, of the different high schools to meet and discuss their peculiar problems, and compare their teaching results and procedures
