Report on testing of children of migratory agricultural workers in the Waupun area
In 1950, the Governor's Commission on Human Rights initiated a study of the learning capacity of the children of migrant laborers in the Waupun area. The educators selected 13 children with limited English skills and ran them through a series of tests, based on those used for white English-speaking children. This report summarizes their results and provides recommendations for the future education of the children of migrant workers.
