The cooperation of Robert C. Harder and Simon Martinez, both formerly with the Topeka Office of Economic Opportunity, is gratefully acknowledged. The author also expresses his appreciation to William Simons, Susan Zurcher, Fred Hill, Rosanne Barnhill, Basil Keiser, and Janice Boldridge for their research assistance; and to Drs. William Key, James Taylor, Gardner Murphy, Ivan Belknap, Charles Bonjean, and Norval Glenn for their helpful comments.

Without the generous cooperation of the members of the Economic Opportunity Board of Shawnee County, Kansas, Incorporated, the study would not have been possible.
