| dc.description.abstract | In this study no attempt will be made to offer a solution to the complexities of the inner city, or even to the problem of educating the culturally disadvantaged. The researcher's purpose is to describe the historical development of a secondary school in a working-class community as the student population shifts from almost all white to a half-white and half-black distribution. The school selected as the subject of the study, Thomas Jefferson High School in Portland, Oregon, lends itself exceptionally well to such investigation because the racial change occurred there within a relatively short period of time. The difficulties encountered at Jefferson High School by both the blacks and the school staff are similar to those encountered in the schools of large eastern cities. Because of the smaller number of people involved, however, the intensity and complexity of the problem is not as great as in the East, and consequently is easier to observe. | en_US |
