Data were collected concerning these students and their families. These youth are representative members of a community showing interest in land ownership for farming and ranching purposes. The small percentage of divorce indicated a stable family with four to five members living in an owned home. A majority of boys and girls indicated fathers' occupation In three categories: small business owners, semi-skilled manual workers, and skilled manual workers. The general education level seems low. The majority of mothers are not employed outside the home. [...]application/pdfenThis item is protected by copyright but is made available here under a claim of fair use (17 U.S.C.
