ACCOUNTING TEXTBOOKS AS CHANGE AGENTS: FINNEY'S <i>INTERMEDIATE</i> AND FINNEY AND MILLER'S <i>INTERMEDIATE</i> FROM 1934 TO 1958
No full textThis paper undertakes to illustrate how the two leading intermediate accounting textbooks published between the 1930s and 1950s, by Finney and Finney/Miller, regularly critiqued recommended and accepted practice, and proposed innovations, while the tendency in today's textbooks is solely to describe and codify standards and practice and therefore not to stimulate students' and instructors' critical thinking.

The Published Songs Of Ross Lee Finney
No full textThe published songs of Ross Lee Finney achieve a good blend of words with music. The success of these songs, as with most songs, is measured by their ability to communicate the texts. When the ideas in the poetry are clear, the musical setting enhances, even mirrors the words. But when the ideas are extremely abstract, as with some of the MacLeish texts, even the musical technique of "word painting" only hints at the content of the original poem.Chapter 1 includes the purpose and scope of the essay and a review of the available literature on the subject. The method of presentation is discussed and some brief biographical information is included. Each of the four song collections is discussed individually, song by song, in chapters 2, 3, 4 and 5. The last chapter in this six chapter essay is a summary and includes information as to the ranges, tessituras and maturity required to adequately perform these songs, as well as a few suggestions for changing a note or a phrase when necessary. In discussing the songs, each chapter begins with information on the author of the text(s) and establishes from which works Finney selected them. Musical elements are discussed with reference to melody, tonality and form. How the composer balances the use of voice and piano is discussed as well as the relationship between poetry and music. There are sixty-four musical examples that illustrate what is discussed in the text.</p

Discrimination of winter wheat on irrigated land in southern Finney County, Kansas
No full textThe author has identified the following significant results. Winter wheat in the large field irrigated landscape of southern Finney County, Kansas was successfully discriminated by use of 4 ERTS-1 images. These images were acquired 16 August 1972, 21 September 1972, and 2 December 1972. MSS-5 images from each date and the MSS-7 image from 2 December 1972 were used. Human interpretation of the four images resulted in a classification scheme which produced 98% correct estimation of the number of wheat fields in the training sample and 100% correct estimation in the test sample. Overall correct separation of wheat from non-wheat fields was 93% and 86%, respectively. Offsetting errors resulted in the estimation accuracy for wheat
