Economic Aspects of School Participation in Mid-Nineteenth-Century United States This essay is generally concerned with an analysis of enrollment data of children whose families were recorded in the population manuscripts of the I860 Federal Census. It is hoped that by using the United States Census manuscripts a more comprehensive view can be presented than that afforded by the examination of one particular city or state. Our investigations focus particularly on enrollment patterns in farm and nonfarm sectors of the country, these same patterns as they related to the wealth of parents, and the relations among literacy, occupational mobility, and enrollment. In part the study shares in the historian's rediscovery of childhood and adolescence within the last decade.1 This recent interest, however, should not be viewed as disconnected from the previous works of educational, social, and economic historians. Indeed, it would have been strange had such a rediscovery not been accompanied by an increasing and timely body of historical work concerning the meaning and nature of literacy, public and private school attendance, and the relations of these to patterns of industrialization and socialization
