FARM OWNERSHIP AND TENANCY IN TEXAS.

record books of fire representative black-land schools, supplemented 

 by data taken direct from teachers and pupils. 41 



It will be noted from Table 33 that the highest enrollment record 

 for each month was made by the daughters of owners, and the lowest 

 enrollment record for each month, except for April, was made by 

 renters' sons. But monthly enrollment of the sons of owners was 

 higher than it was for the daughters of renters. 



It will be noted that the highest enrollment record for both the 

 girls and boys of tenants was made in January. The first day of 

 January is the beginning of the renting year so far as contracts are 

 concerned, but few tenants get all their crops gathered until some 

 time in January, and the majority of " moves " are made some time 

 near the middle of the month. This means that tenants' children 

 who are enrolled in school are in many cases enrolled in two schools 

 at different times in January. Thus some of the children of out- 

 going renters as well as of incoming renters are enrolled in the same 

 school for January, which accounts for the comparatively large 

 enrollment of tenants'' children during this month.
