Five types of psychological tests to 408 pupils on the first-grade of junior high school in these areas, and the questionnaire tests to their parents and teachers were adopted for this purposes. The results were as follows: 1) These three areas were obviously different on the geographical, cultural and sociological points of view. In A; most evident varieties were noticed in occupations, dwelling areas and so on. In B; almost all families had lived natively in their own houses.
