- Title
A STUDY OF 250 SUCCESSFUL FAMILIES.
- Authors

- Abstract
The article focuses on a survey of families. Of the present day families it was those in economic distress who were studied; those in which sickness, unemployment, disaster of some kind had made self-support impossible or difficult. The family broken by death or desertion was analyzed and, more recently, the family in which marital disagreement was the important factor has been to the fore in the literature. In the newer studies not only the economic situation but the psychological has been analyzed but it has been the family in difficulty of some kind which has held the center of attention the desirability and need for more specific provision for education for marriage. Success seems to be closely related to ability to see a problem and to attack it from an objective and scientific point of view. Thus, provision must be made for teaching it in connection with specific subject matter dealing with family relations.
