by Nat Hentoff
"This is the story of Dr. Elliott Shapiro, the tireless and controversial former principal of P.S. 19 in central Harlem (now P.S. 92 in its new building on the same street), and his crusade in education. The enrollment of P.S. 119 is ninety-six percent Negro, the remainder being Puerto Rican and Chinese. Poverty, sickness, and dirt are the basic realities for many of the children. Prostitution, alcoholism, and drug addiction haunt the streets.
