The first of four Human Relations werlcshops met to discuss problems arising from de facto segregation in the Englewood elementary scirools and to touch upon possiSle-s dlltions . Some r5o peopre.r se ated around 16 ztables attend.eci this session. The purpose
of
these Worksnobt as
comrulttee was l
to handlo these rliscussions in such a manner thaf all tha participants might have an opportunlty to cxpress their opinions and become aware of the opinions of others on both the problenrs and t,he solutions; to oncourago the city falhers to move forward in Nhe area of human relations by demonstrating that a large cross-section of cillzens is aware of the situatiOn and thc need for inproveftDt.rt

In connentj.ng on the purposo as stated by the organi.zing conmittee, Rev. Brubaker cautioned that if tho discussions at the vsrious tablos were morery a reitaration of a vieuppint of like rninds, tho workshops would havo faiLed in thelr purpos6. He notod tho tendency for different groups to gravitate toward thernsolves j-n their lntelests and ldeas, but felt therro was not enough cornrrrunita tion betueen groups and observedl rrOther groups need not <lnly to speitj tire y noed to listenrrr rt, ls not onry nccessary to expross our ofln id6as to othersl tut arsn to be aware of the oplnions of others
Rev. Bruhaker then went on to fill in bhe background. There is do facto segregation in tho Llncoln School, and Liberty school is fifty to sixTl !6iGont Negro. Both tho Junior High School and tho High School are intcgrated, t,ut thcrs ar problems for both Nogro and whito because neither has had tho opportunit$ io participate in integrated, problems before.

School, preby saying that he wouLd not deal with the specific problens faced his remarks facing Englcwood, in vhich ho clalmed no expcrtise, but with the genoric problem of segregalion. He noted that tlie und*:rprlvile god child fcrmcd tlte greatost reservoir of undoveloped talont in the country today and that segregation was probably not as much a color problem as one of c1ass, motivati'on, homo backgrounds and noighborhood. Ile theroforc maintained that our goals should be to remove h'arriers to the education of tho disadvantaged -- bui cautioned that in our devotion to equallty wo must not ignoro the dlvcrsity of individuals and the consoquent neod for diversity ln educaticnal goa1s. i{o asscrtod that vs either provide for differonces or olse suffcr norc segregation than beforc.
Passow uas nore concorncd with a dolincation of problorn areas than ith prescription. Cne of his pr"incipal Lhomos was that equality of opportunity did not rnoan idntit-ry of exporionco, and that dducation nust ccntend rith solf-generat-

ing differences originating in disadvantaged beginnings. llo noted that ths Sprone Court, in its 195L decision, tood cognizanco of thcse differences by ofserving thai, rr15u senss.of inforlority (arising out of segregation) affects tfre childts notivation to lo.arnr'. Ho @itod the experionco of Wash5-ngton, D. C., -fip-ich was attornpllng to neet the problons crf segregation by upgrading the a\hievernents of Negro youngstors and by providing difforcnt programs which
ac\qoulcdged individual- differonces
in ability
and achiovement.
In support nf tho value of early integratod oxparienca, ho noted that, although homc, class and noighborhood are the strongest detorninants in setting goals ind motivatlons for tha chiId, the quali.ty of Lhe school- could not be ignored. He citad the observed achievement of sons of profeqsionals attending a predominantly rorklng-class school and roportcd that thcre was a tendency to regress to tho pre'ralent standards of aspiration set by the school. He noted furthur ihat inadoquale patterns of achiovament aoquired inthe elemontary schools are

elaborated on tho rneaning of lack of motivational suppcrt in the lower class hone. These vlero homes, he saidy which uere chara eto ris tically noisy, crouded, disarrayed. Lor,ror class children verc not exposed to intellectual Bti-muli and woro further handicappcct -- in so far as their pcrformance al school was concerned -- by paronbal shyness and suspicion.
Passow meanj-ng of roading malerial, for axample, whieh was basically oriented toward the midrlle class, had to be evalr-iated for the lowcr class child.
