nomic status of the two classes causes tenants to draw more heavily 

 on their children's time for farm labor than do owners. If the 

 tenant were an owner, with his present wealth, he would doubtless 

 still demand more field work of his child than the average owner now 

 demands of his child. Consequently, it is impossible to say how 

 much of the backwardness of the tenant's child is attributable to ten- 

 ure and how much to financial status. 



Regardless of this question, it is quite evident that the tenant's 

 child is having to bear a heavier burden than is the owner's child. 

 And it is evident that some of the more important rural school 

 problems of the area are closely bound up with the problem of ten- 

 ancy, and that they must be solved in conjunction with solutions of 

 the tenure problem.
