Excerpt from The Relationship Between Persistence in School and Home Conditions
In this part of the Fifteenth Yearbook Dr. C. E. Holley presents the results of a direct investigation on a fairly comprehensive scale of the important question: What factors determine the number of years of schooling received by pupils of the public schools? The investigation was carried on in several Illinois cities; the results are doubtless typical for the Middle West, if not for the country generally. It will be noted that the outcome of the study coincides in some respects With beliefs current in educational circles, but contradicts those beliefs in other respects. A close correlation is discovered between years of schooling and the economic, social, and educational advantages of the homes from which the pupils come, and these environmental conditions appear to be more important than degree of native ability in determining amount Of schooling. Retardation and truancy are most frequent among the children of poor and uneducated parents. Size of family, however, has no appreciable effect on persistence in school. Of particular interest to schoolmen IS the demonstration that early elimination is largely due to external factors over which the school has little or no control. The selected bibliography on elimination and related issues found at the end Of the text will, it is hoped, be useful to readers of the Yearbook.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the relationship between how educated the parents of a child are and the length of time the child will stay in school. The author collected data from hundreds of families in small towns in Illinois. He found that children from families with educated parents were more likely to stay in school longer than children from less educated families. The author also found that children from families with more income and who lived in better neighborhoods were more likely to stay in school longer. These findings suggest that the home environment can have a significant impact on a child's educational success. This book offers important insights into the factors that affect a child's education and can be a valuable resource for parents, educators, and policymakers.
