It appears to be, on the average, relatively welleducated, above average in income, relatively high in professional workers, and living a relatively stable, responsible mode of life by certain conventional, if superficial, standards. The re are of cour se some atypical replies: One individual has been a prostituto; two are reformed users of narcotics; four report themselves as reformed alcoholios and one as presently so. In addition 11 wero at one time (mostly for brief periods) committed to a mental hospital; and 19 (12% of the total) have been arrested (most commonly for drunkenness and traffic violations).

own parents,

most were reared by relatives. Where only one parent raised the child, it was in most cases (27 out of 34) the mother. The so cases of single-parent rearing, however, due twice as often divorco or separation
