I'll publish the best possible manuscripts that are submitted.
I expect Dr. Vesta Daniel of Northern Illinois University to
assist me. This letter is being sent to some senior scholars in
the field and some young scholars just starting out, and I hope
to hear from each of you.

Presently, the text will be divided into four sections with
several chapters in each section.

1. Minorities, Art History and Culture
2. Characteristics of Effective Schools and Experimental Art
Education Programs
3. New Perspectives in Philosophical and Aesthetic Concerns
4. Perspectives From the Field (Teachers and Administrators)

If you have any thoughts on changing or expanding this outline,
please let me know and your ideas will be considered.
Manuscripts should normally have a length of 7 to 25 double
spaced typwritten pages, for sections 1, 2, or 3. For section 4,
I would like to try an experiment of hearing from teachers and
other professionals in the field. This would create practical
recommendations or a sharing of views from the field, creating a
series of shorter manuscripts. These should be 1-3 double spaced
typewritten pages. Bibliographic citations should follow the
American Psychological Association's Publication Manual; some
exceptions will be made in special cases.

It would be ideal to have the text complete and ready for
publication by May, 1988. In order to do this, I am proposing
two deadlines. The first is September 20, 1987; I should have
either your manuscript or a proposal by that date. By December
31, 1987, I would like to have your final manuscript ready for
publication. We may have problems with these deadlines because
of prior commitments some of you may have, but I will try to be
sensitive to individual cases. With the academic and creative
performance of minority children remaining a persistent troubling
national problem, I sincerely hope you will make a contribution
to our proposed text.

Sincerely,
