Abstract

A study made of a slum section of 125,000 people, mostly Negro, revealed that 70 per cent of the boys and girls between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one are out of school and un employed. Many of them, impoverished and discriminated against, soon become "floaters"-without attachment to either job or home.
