Abstract

(From the Introduction)

Equalization of educational opportunity was an ideal expressed by the founders of our nation. It is a principle that is fundamental in American education--a principle based upon the assumption that our democracy is best served by extending to all children an equal minimum opportunity to attend schools staffed with the best qualified teachers available. A denial of this principle is to defeat the basic purposes of American education as they were expressed by its founders and a they have been developed to meet the needs of our modern society.
