live "in gangs* rather than with their families,” Dr. Nelson said.
USC Schools of Education. Social Work and Law will join the center in the 18-month training program.

The following nine months will see these programs put into operation for teachers, recreation leaders, social welfare work-
ers and police and correctional workers.
Boys and girls ‘‘vulnerable to delinquency-’ will be reached by the program. These children c-ome from neighborhoods wher i physical and mental health is poor and the school drop-out rate is very high, he said.
The Youth Opportunities Board of Greater Los Angeles will coordinate the program with the center. Four working committees of ten members each from the university and the community will plan the program Dr. Nelson said.

vances in special education goes ! to the individual states,” Willen-| berg claimed.
Willenberg felt, however, thai the local level is the most important. He said the integration of handicapped and normal stu-1 dents on the local level is enabling exceptional students to learn to live in modern society.
Willenberg explained that special education is divided into four levels — federal, regional,
‘ state and local.
He said the United States Of-, fice of Education works on the federal level gathering and assimilating information on excep-. tional children.
Low Status
The director said, however, the federal office has a low status because of an ambiguous position.
Willenberg said the President’s Panel on Education also works on the problems on programs for handicapped children.
Expressing the desire for in creased federal support to spe j cial education programs, Willen-t rg said two congressional appropriations of $1 million dollars have made authorized.
The appropriations will be used for training teachers aid administrators for exceptional children.
Willenberg is also interested in the idea of creating a national institute of learning and behavior. He feels the institute would help solve many of the problems of special education
College Support
He predicted that the institute will be established within the next five years and will be supported by many ooleges and universities.
He explained that the regional level is new among the four levels. He said regional groups have planned and developed centers for teachers of special education.
