That is why the May 31 deadline for applications is necessary. By Sep tember, Teacher Corps teams should be ready to move into 200 to 400 city and rural pov erty-area school systems, where their help is requested.” During the training period, re cruits will attend university courses on the sociology of pov erty and the teaching of educa tionally deprived children.
