Criticized is a paper by Johnson, Wyer, and Gilbert, "Quality education and integration: an exploratory study", ("Phylon" XXVIII, 1967, pp. 221-229). This study stated that (1) there may be more racial conflict in integrated schools and therefore educational quality may be lower than in less integrated schools, and (2) social class orientation of the schools is also an independent variable related to effective student-teacher relationships. The study is attacked on methodological as well as theoretical grounds. It is stated that "their hypotheses appear a shambles of questionable assumptions." (NH)
