Illiteracy and school attendance : a study based on the Census of 1931 and supplementary data / by Murdoch C. MacLean.: CS98-1931CM-5E-PDF

"The present study of illiteracy and school attendance is, as far as possible, supplementary to an earlier study published in connection with the Census of 1921, i.e., it covers new ground in all respects except in so far as it verifies and brings up to date the findings of the earlier study. The main difference between the two is that the 1921 monograph portrayed illiteracy and school attendance from the point of view of the educationist as a technologist, the present monograph from his point of view as a sociologist. The two studies, then, are in most respects two parts of one study. ... The study is divided into two parts, the first (Chapters I-V) dealing with illiteracy and the second (Chapters VI-X) with school attendance. Part III is devoted to basic tabular material to which the reader is referred throughout the text. The summary of the whole coming before these parts is consistent with the general plan of the series of monographs and will be found useful to the reader who is more interested in the findings than in the arguments on which they are based"--Pref., p. 3.
