The study of a question such as that of Truancy must be undertaken on the basis of statistics. It is essentially a matter of investigating and gathering data upon individual cases. The preliminary search for material upon the subject revealed the fact that practically nothing had been written upon it and apparently little inquiry made into the problem. Accordingly, the writer obtained permission from Superintendent O.H. Close of the Preston School of Industry located at Ione, Amador County, California to conduct an investigation of this problem among the delinquent boys committed to that institution. This school is the state correctional institution for boys between the ages of 15 and 21 years. For comparative purposes, an investigation of the problem of truancy in a city school system -- that of Sacramento -- has been made. It is hoped, therefore, that the present study may make some worthwhile contribution to what is already known about the subject.

The Seminole County Georgia Board of Education has made a special effort to provide adequate educational opportunities for all the children of the county. An important phase of this effort has been the provision of building facilities to house the children. Three years ago a new consolidated county-wide high school building was completed, along with a new elementary building in Donalsonville, and needed improvements in all the other elementary schools. / Typescript. / "August, 1952." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science."

"The desire to live, to love, to be with people, to excel or achieve, and to believe in something lasting leads to problems, each of which requires a struggle of some type, either slight or great. It is during the period of life called adolescence that many human beings either successfully or unsuccessfully solve some of these problems. A teacher or parent will be more capable of helping the adolescent through this phrase of life if he understands the mental, motor, social, and emotional development of the adolescent. Therefore, the teacher and parents must not only be interested in the adolescent during school time, but must also have a knowledge of the activities in which the adolescent participates and of the facilities offered by the community which affect his out-of-school life"--Introduction. / "July, 1951." / Typescript. / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Advisor: H.

The purpose of the study was to identify which additional factors that have been related to truancy are perceived by chronic truant students; additionally, the researcher wanted to know how demographic differences among chronic truant students (i.e., gender, socio-economic status, parental education, and their own education aspirations) related to these attitudes. The research questions were: (1) What are chronic truant students' perceptions of student participation in school activities? (2) What are chronic truant students' perceptions of school curriculum? (3) What are chronic truant students' perceptions of relationships with counse1ors? ( 4 ) What are chronic truant students' perceptions of relationships with teachers? (5) What are chronic truant students' perceptions with administrators (6) What are chronic truant students' perceptions of family education expectations and goals? (7) What are chronic truant students' perceptions of parental involvement? / Ed. D.
