The authors critically assess results of a 1985 study by Judith Blake which was concerned with effects of fathers schooling on sons schooling given various sibship sizes. The authors argue that the effects of fathers schooling and sibship size are mainly additive and invariant over cohorts. Apparent interactions between fathers schooling and sibship size result from differences in mean educational attainment among sibship size groups rather than from any important differences in association between fathers and sons schooling. They further assert that the censored regression (Tobit) model which takes account of ceiling and floor effects on educational attainment is a useful tool for investigating effects of socioeconomic background on grades of school completed within elementary secondary and post-secondary parts of educational career. The geographic focus is on United States. A reply by Blake (pp. 413-7) and a rejoinder by authors (pp. 418-20) are also included. (EXCERPT)
