"In December, 1953 the Committee on Disaster Studies, the National Institute of Mental Health, and the Mississippi State Department of Public Welfare collaborated in a study of the effects of disaster upon children and families. The event was the Vicksburg tornado The results were published by the National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council in The Child and His Family in Disaster; A Study of the 1953 Vicksburg Tornado, by Stewart E. Perry, Earle Silber, and Donald A. Bloch. In February, 1955 other tornadoes struck Mississippi. This time two rural schoolhouses were the main targets, and, again, most of the victims were children. While a systematic replication of the Vicksburg study was not feasible, the Committee on Disaster Studies (now Disaster Research Group) felt it desirable to attempt to refine and elaborate the findings of the previous study. The purpose of Operation Schoolhouse was a case study, of a limited number of families, which would illuminate the processes by which a family, in the context of its community and sub-culture, may deal with the traumatic experiences of disaster. This purpose has been achieved, by a skillful research team composed of Dr. Ralph Patrick, choirmon, Dr. Hylan Lewis, and Mrs. Rebecca Moore, and by the authors, Helen and Stewart Perry, who have patiently sifted and brooded over the field data and teased from it a provocative and useful report. Publication of this report is gratifying not only because of the Information and ideas it contributes to the study of an important problem but also because it signifies a remarkable amount of cooperation on the part of many people"--Foreword.
