THIS REPORT GIVES A SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION OF THE GENERAL POPULATION FROM WHICH TRAINEES FOR THE MODESTO MULTI-OCCUPATIONAL PROJECT WERE SELECTED. IT INCLUDES AN EXTENSIVE STUDY OF THE SOCIOLOGICAL BACKGROUND OF A GROUP OF WHITE MIGRANTS WHO MOVED FROM THE EASTERN UNITES STATES TO CALIFORNIA. THE AUTHOR ALSO INCLUDED REFERENCES TO THE CHANGING SOCIOECONOMIC AND MORAL STANDARDS OF THIS GROUP AND THEIR EVENTUAL WELFARE STATUS. THE AUTHOR HOPED THAT THE PROJECT WILL RECREATE FEELINGS OF SELF-DETERMINATION, INVOLVEMENT, AND RESPONSIBILITY IN THIS GROUP THROUGH ADULT TRAINING PROGRAMS. (PG)
