Can Title I Attain Its Goal?

This bill has a simple purpose: To improve the education of young Americans. . . . How many young lives have been wasted; how many families now live in misery; how much talent has the Nation lost; because we have failed to give all our people a chance to learn. . . . This bill represents a national determination that this shall no longer be true. Poverty will no longer be a bar to learning, and learning shall offer an escape from poverty.. . . For this truly is the key which can unlock the door to a great society.
