fornia reported last week after it's
first year of three year project to
reduce racial bias in California.
This project is being sponsored by

lanthrOpic organization, and the
state department of education. DR..
William Vickery, formerly associat-
ed with the New York Bureau of
intercultural education, is director of
the program.
The sponsors declared that before
formal education can help students
overcome their prejudices, the sour
ces of the teaching, the instructors
must be free of bias themselves. If
the teachers have the proper sense
OF tolerance, then they can teach it
successfully to students.
During the first year of the pro-
