Abstract
The status pattern was based on occupation, money, learning, and lineage. No matter which of the above denominators is used, however, one finds with slight variations the same people on the same point of the social scale. Wealth alone did not assure a person of status. It was a source of prestige only in so far as it enabled a man to contribute to the welfare of the community. Since the value of money was unstable, it was expected that money would be used to obtain the greater and more lasting sources of status: learning and lineage.
