  • Radisson's Two Western Journeys
    RADISSON'S TWO WESTERN JOU RN EYS When the French in the beginning of the seventeenth century took possession of the St. Lawrence Valley, the acquisition does not seem to have been considered an event of major importance. The population of the home coun­ try was not yet so dense as to demand new territory for expansion. For many years, moreover, there was doubt that agriculture would prove profitable In a climate so much more severe than that of France. The acquisition of Can­ ada was therefore considered of dubious value except by a few missionaries, and the royal government was very slow in granting any assistance for the safety or progress of the new colony. Soon, however, it was discovered that this American possession could supply one great need of the home coun­ try, and that was furs. Particularly was it rich in beaver, which was in great demand for beaver hats—the headgear demanded by fashion. The fur trade therefore became the mainstay of the colony and gained for it the few crumbs of favor that it received. For many years this trade was confined to the small tribes on the rivers that empty into the St. Lawrence from the north. Then came a larger supply of furs from the more populous Huron country and from the Ottawa on Manitoulln Island. Each spring when the Indians brought in their canoes filled with peltries, small fairs were held in Montreal and Three Rivers, where the natives exchanged their furs for the utensils, tools, orna­ ments, and dainties that the French merchants and habit­ ants had to offer.

TITLE Case Studies of Talented Students Who Achieve and Underachieve in an Urban High School. Research Monograph 95120. INSTITUTION National Research Center on the Gifted and Talented, Storrs, CT. SPONS AGENCY Office of Educational Research and Improvement (ED), Washington, DC. PUB DATE 1995-09-00 NOTE 284p. CONTRACT R206R00001 PUB TYPE Reports Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC12 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Academic Achievement; Asian Americans; Black Students; Case Studies; Cultural Differences; Disadvantaged Youth; Family Environment; *Gifted; *High Achievement; High School Students; High Schools; Hispanic Americans; Homogeneous Grouping; Parent Participation; Poverty; Puerto Ricans; *Resilience (Personality); Self Esteem; Sex Differences; Social Support Groups; Student Characteristics; *Underachievement; *Urban Education; White Students ABSTRACT This 3-year study compared characteristics of high ability students who were identified as high achievers with students of similar ability who underachieved in school. The 35 students attended a large urban high school comprised of 60 percent Puerto Rican students, 20 percent African American, and the remainder White, Asian, and other. Qualitative methods were used to examine the perceptions of students, teachers, staff, and administrators concerning academic achievement. The study found that achievement and underachievement are not disparate concepts, since many students who underachieved had previously achieved at high levels and some generally high achieving students experienced periods of underachievement. A network of high achieving friends was characteristic of achieving students. No relationships were found between poverty and underachievement, between parental divorce and underachievement, or between family size and underachievement.

  • Wisconsin's Door Peninsula and Its Geomorphology
    WISCONSIN'S DOOR PENINSULA AND ITS GEOMORPHOLOGY Howard De II er AGS Collection, UW-Mllwaukee and Paul Stoelting University of Wisconsin-La Crosse The Door Peninsula of Wisconsin is one of the premier tourist regions of the American r~iddle West. According to a recent geography of Wisconsin (Vogeler et al 1986,8) , the region is best known for its picturesque sea­ scape, New England-style architecture, fish boils, and cherry orchards. Among geomorphologists, however, the region is known for the great variety of land­ form types and for the complex and changing geomorphological processes which have operated in the peninsula. Towering bluffs, sand dunes, lake terraces, abandoned beach ridges, swampy lowlands, and drumlin fields are only some of the many types of landforms to be found in the peninsula. Indeed, the region can be viewed as a unique geomorphological laboratory and an excellent example for classroom study. In this short paper an attempt is made to describe and analyze some of the more prominent landform features of the peninsula and the processes which have influenced their formation. LOCATION AND GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS The Door Peninsula, located In northeastern Wisconsin. is part of the Eastern Ridges and Lowlands province of the state. The peninsula extends in a northeasterly direction into Lake Michigan to separate Green Bay on the west from the main body of Lake Michigan on the east. The peninsula is approximately 64 miles long and about 26 miles wide on its southern end, between the mouth of the Fox River and the city of Kewaunee on Lake Michigan (Map I).
