TANULMÁNYOK - Sasfi Csaba: Felekezetiség és a középiskolai szocializáció színterei. A magyarországi középiskolai diákság felekezeti viszonyai a 19. században

FELEKEZETISÉG ÉS A KÖZÉPISKOLAI SZOCIALIZÁCIÓ SZÍNTEREI 593 background of the parents do not show any sign of an elite character, in the sense of an „elite secondary school", upon the data of the 1890s. We have subjected this result to a control analysis by examining the confessional structure of the secondary schools attended by the economic elite, upon the same set of data. As a result, it can safely be stated that in the period envisaged there existed ne elite secondary schools, in which the majority of the students would have come from the economic elite. Such children represented more than 50 percent in only one school, whereas in four their proportion was more than 40 percent. It should be remarked, moreover, that only two among these five schools were full eight-class institutions closing with maturity. To sum up, we can say that in those schools the wealthy elite was overrepresented among the parents, the confessional structure was equally mixed, but only slightly above the average.
