Civil war letters of the Fox brothers: Edward, George and Samuel Fox 1861-1865
No full textCollection in 2 archival boxes contains approx. 250 original letters, letter transcriptions, family photos, genealogical chart showing descendants of George and Barbara Fox, Oath of Identity, Discharge Papers, Payroll receipts for Edward D. Fox, several "memorabilia" Southern items taken during war (letters, business cards, receipts, stationary and photos). Civil War letters (and transcriptions done by David H. Fox, great-grandson of the recipient) written to Charles H. Fox by his older brothers (Edward, George and Samuel) who served in the Civil War between 1861 and 1865. $b The correspondence begins in the fall of 1861 with Samuel (mustered August 26, 1861) in Company B of the 6th New Jersey Volunteers stationed near Washington, DC. Edward Fox (mustered October 30, 1861) is in Company E of the same regiment. Samuel and Edward are both drummers...Samuel dies of "brain fever," possibly meningitis, on September 23, 1862, at Camp Hooker, near Alexandria, VA. Edward despairs of his situation and obtains a medical discharge on February 23, 1863, near Falmouth, VA... He returns to Trenton and joins the Invalid Corp. on August 9, 1864...George's Company A, 6th Regiment is reorganized as Company E of the 8th New Jersey Volunteers in October 1864...With the end of the war, George's unit is stationed at Washington for several months, but he finally returns to Trenton in July 1865. - From transcriptionist's notes

Preparation of Fox Valley Technical College faculty for multicultural education
No full textIncludes bibliographical references.The purpose of this study was to determine the level of preparedness of Fox Valley Technical College faculty for multicultural education. The demographics of the district population were changing rapidly, and faculty must be prepared to meet the needs of multicultural students. A survey was administered to full- and part-time faculty of Fox Valley Technical College. The survey was intended to collect data about levels of education and experience, perceived training needs, level of comfort with multicultural education and level of interest in further training. The data gathered was analyzed to determine the need for future training, training subjects, and the training formats preferred by faculty. The results of this research provide a basis on which to build future professional growth training at Fox Valley Technical College. The training for faculty will ensure higher success for both faculty and students
Selected Demographic Variables as Predictors of Moral Development among George Fox College Students
No full textThe theoretical basis of this research was based on Kohlberg\u27s cognitive model of moral development. Rest\u27s operationalization of principled moral reasoning, Davison\u27s scale score, and Thoma\u27s utilizer score were specifically examined. A predictive relationship between certain demographic variables and the principled moral reasoning and Davison\u27s score have been identified in the research literature. The purpose of this study was to examine further this predictive relationship. The James D. Foster and Beth A. LaForce research project provided the archival data for this research. From the existing data, demographic variables were selected as predictors of moral development among incoming George Fox College students. Moral development was measured by the Defining Issues Test. Multiple regression equations were derived for Principled moral reasoning, Davison\u27s score, and the Utilizer score. The regression equations for the Principled Reasoning score and the Davison score were significant, but only Grade Point Average loaded. None of the variables entered the equation for the Utilizer score. The percentage of the variance accounted for in each equation was small and of little practical use. The six selected demographic variables, when in linear combination, were found to be ineffective predictors of moral development among incoming George Fox College students
An Economic Evaluation of a Pest Management Control Program: "Outfox the Fox"
No full textFoxes are regarded as a serious pest of environmental and grazing systems in Australia. The fox is a recognised predator of native wildlife and has been a significant contributor to the population decline of many native mammal, bird and reptile species. There are also claims that foxes may account for up to 30% of lamb mortalities in some areas, while mortality due to predation of 2 to 5% is more likely in most regions. The ‘Outfox the Fox’ program was established by NSW Agriculture in conjunction with a number of Rural Land Protection Boards to achieve a more strategic and coordinated fox baiting program. This program relies on a community driven and integrated management approach to the problem. The main features are to synchronise baiting across landholders at least twice a year, undertake baiting during periods when the fox is most susceptible, regularly check and replace baits, and continue until the bait take declines. A stochastic economic surplus and benefit-cost analysis model was developed to evaluate this program. The change in annual economic surplus due to the ‘Outfox the Fox’ program was 9.8m and a mean benefit-cost ratio of 13.0:1. The stochastic analysis indicated that there was a very low probability of this program providing a negative economic return.benefit cost analysis, research evaluation, economic surplus, fox, Farm Management, Land Economics/Use, Livestock Production/Industries, Production Economics, Research and Development/Tech Change/Emerging Technologies, Q160,

Selected Demographic Variables as Predictors of Ego-Identity Confusion Among George Fox College Students
No full textSeven demographic variables were evaluated, utilizing multiple linear regression analysis, to answer the research question: can selected demographic variables adequately predict identity confusion, as measured by the Revised Version of the Extended Objective Measure of Ego-Identity Status (Bennion & Adams, 1986), among George Fox College Freshmen? The James D. Foster and Beth A. La Force research project provided the archival data base for this study. From this available data, demographic variables were selected as predictors of identity confusion among 268 George Fox College freshmen students. Identity confusion was measured using the Extended Objective Measure of Ego-Identity Status - Revised (EOMEIS-2). The data were examined through the use of stepwise multiple linear regression analyses. A separate analysis was performed for each domain. The analyses produced significant regression equations accounting for 26% of the Ideological and 7% of the Interpersonal ego-identity measure variability. Analogous statistical results were reported for each regression equation, including the statistical significance and the unique contribution of the variables which remained in the equation. The remaining demographic variables were found to be effective predictors of Ideological ego-identity confusion among the George Fox College freshmen student population. Finally, the results of this study confirmed previous research that correlated demographic variables, as univariate predictors, with ego-identity development. Suggestions for future research were discussed
