Given in this publication are 15 working papers which were prepared to assist conference participants in discussion of areas of educational neglect. These papers include reports of: (1) on-site studies conducted during the 2 months immediately preceding the conference and (2) national statistics and information regarding an area of neglect.

Areas covered are: (1) violence in the public schools; (2) bilingual education; (3) education of women, American Indians, migrant children, children on military bases, handicapped children, and urban children; (4) juveniles in detention facilities; (5) early childhood education; (6) suburban education; (7) adult basic education; and (8) education in geographically isolated areas.
