| Sumario: | The article focuses on a study which provides the mental rating of relief children as compared with the total population in ten separate statistical classes. Children have well-defined patterns of behavior resulting from their early experiences and the social statuses enjoyed by their parents. When mobility rates reach erratic peaks, life patterns are broken by violent changes and children suffer more than busy elders have time to note. Depression-hit families of parent-children constituency have been severely strained by enforced adjustment to lower economic and social levels. The children who had come to think of their parent's economic status in terms of relief work and direct relief ranked higher than the children of the personal service category, both in range and median. The biological quality of these children is sufficient to justify special attention in a rehabilitation program. The educational ladder is not functioning freely enough in mitigating personal and class differences due to the cultural lag in family and occupational backgrounds.
