An exploratory study of twenty-eight students who dropped from junior high and Royal Palm School, West Palm Beach, Fla.

To those familiar with schools, it is quite obvious that there is a definite problem of dropouts, and that this is particularly acute with those whose ability and interest do not fit them for the average school curriculum. Slow learners that constitute a large part of the dropout group are forced at least up to the point of compulsory attendance age to come to school. Realizing that our whole economic system is geared to competition, schools sometime assume they are justified in adopting the squeeze-out system also. But this very squeeze-out system, under the present form, is one of the basic reasons for dropout. / Typescript. / "August, 1952." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Advisor: W.
