Abstract

In the papers, educationaljournals and occasionally in farm magazines and other periodicals we read of the unsatisfactory school conditions prevalent in the state of Kentucky.

As a citizen, student, teacher and would-be educator in this beautiful state, it appears desirable to determine to some degree whether or not inadequate school programs exist in Kentucky and if so to locate some of the factors determining them. Obviously the field is too broad to be covered in a single investigation.

This particular study has been concentrated in one small county of the state. As it proceeded, broader and broader avenues for investigation opened only to be eliminated one by one to a few specific observations treated in this investigation.

This is a study of the children appearing on the rolls in the primary grades of all the schools in the county system during the school year 1940-41. It was then determined where these children were twelve years later relative to their scholastic lives.
