40 BASES FOR CURRICULUM MAKING 



The fourth causal factor is information. A study of this 

 characteristic is evidently of direct importance in curriculum- 

 making. The coefficients of interest in this connection follow : 



r(ne)=.801 r(fn) :e=.557 r(nm) :k=.626 



r(nm)=772 r(fn) :ei=.458 r(nm) :e=. 



r(ni)=:732 r(fn) :i=.351 r(nm) :ie=. 



r(nb)=732 r(fn) :b=.278 r(nm) :i=.475 



r(nv)=700 r(fn) :em=.167 r(nm) :b^.454 



r(nf)=700 r(fn) :m=.134 

 r(nk)=.587 



r(fm)=.848 r(fi)=.732 



r(fm) :n=.675 r(fi) :n=.451 



r(fb)=.801 r(fe)=.514 



r(fb) :n=.592 r(fe) :n= .110 



r(mf)=.848 r(mk)=.700 



r(mf) :n=.675 r(mk) :n=.480 



r(mb)=.801 r(mi)=772 



r(mb) :n=.541 r(mi) :n=.475 



When information is used as a criterion the relationships 

 with the other qualities remain very positive. When the various 

 qualities are successively eliminated from the financial success- 

 information relation that relation does not hold its own man- 

 agerial ability and business capacity causing the largest results 

 in reducing the value of the correlations. Intelligence also enters 

 strongly into the combination while education appears as of little 

 direct value. 



Again when various qualities are successively eliminated 

 from the information-managerial relation there is a fairly uni- 

 form reduction extending in the case of the elimination of busi- 

 ness of .318 points to .146 in the case of elimination of skills. 23 



Further, taking information successively out of the finance 

 and the management relationships with other qualities, it is seen

[r(mn)r=772 r(mn) :k=.626]=.146
