Procedure: Both the experimental (Saenz) and control (Salazar) elementary schools are in Alice, Texas, with each school population approximating 500 scholastics. The student populations in both schools are 99% Mexican-American and 1% black. The children come from homes where Spanish is the dominant language. The children were tested on the School Sentiment Index (30 questions) and Self Appraisal Index (4O questions) pre and posttest instruments published by the Instructional Objectives Exchange in Los Angeles, California. The test was administered orally in English and in Spanish dialect used in that area. The pre-test was administered before the social meetings. One social meeting was held at the experimental school and one social meeting at the control school. At the experimental school six weekly, structured one-hour training sessions were held in the afternoons. They were conducted in English by the investigator and in Spanish by a teacher aide. [...]
