Excerpt from The Social Composition of the Teaching Population

The author is indebted to more than fifty teachers and superintendents for their assistance in the collection of the materials used in this investigation. As it would be a gross injustice to mention some and omit others, the names of all are omitted.

The author is under obligations to Dr. Henry Suzzallo for suggesting the topic investigated and for a critical reading of the manuscript as well as for his suggestions while it was in preparation, to Dr. George D. Strayer for assistance in preparing the questionaire and in the general organization of the materials and also for a careful reading of the entire manuscript, to Dr. Frank M. McMurry for helpful suggestions pertaining to the interpretation of the results, to Dr. E. L. Thorndike for his advice upon the form and preparation of the statistics used, to Dr. W. A. Jessup for helpful counsel and criticism, and to Miss Josephine Farrell, his sister-in-law, for assistance in the preparation of the statistical tables.
