• Linguistic Differences and Equal Educational Opportunity in New Hampshire

  Working paper prepared for the New Hampshire Department of Education in the 1970s. An examination of the correlation between New Hampshire school districts holding students with French surnames, and New Hampshire towns wherein reside adults who have no high school education. A report on these findings, including commentary on certain individual cases and complementary historical background, as well as an analysis of what the reporter terms a "statistical coincidence." Arguments in favor of the need for studying New Hampshire's cultural diversity. Data-in-use based largely on 1970 U.S. Census Bureau demographic figures, in conjunction with data submitted by New Hampshire school districts, and presented here in table form with summary analysis. Uses Maine state figures as reference and comparison.
