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.
