“INDIVIDUALIZED LEARNING FOR THE INNER CITY”

September 20, 1968

Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor
Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Mayor Allen:

Our organization is in full accord with the Urban Coalition
fundamental objective of putting the urban crisis at the top
of the agenda of national concern. The portion of the crisis
in the urban area or inner city areas that we are mostly concerned
with is education. I am enclosing a brochure which describes this
concern and effort entitled "Individualized Learning in the Inner
City" which will take place November 18-20, 1968, in the Nation's
capital and which will focus on potential solutions for the
educational problems in the urban areas.

We strongly encourage industrial organizations and other
groups such as the Urban Coalition to assume leadership in
implementing the concept of team registration which you will find
under the general section on registration. For if commmity
members from around the Nation are group sponsored to attend an
action oriented function such as this, they will take back valuable
information and will be able to create follow-on action programs
to enhance the quality of education in their local areas.

If you desire further information, please feel free to contact
us at any time.

Sincerely yours,

ee OLE
