Narrative:
This was an instructional flight with a student pilot. We were cleared for takeoff on runway 27 with a right turnout. The takeoff proceeded normally with the student flying and we climbed straight ahead to 1900' MSL in accordance with noise abatement procedures. Just prior to reaching 1900' tower requested that we start our turn and we complied. On crosswind; tower issued a traffic advisory (10 O'clock?). As we were a high wing we had difficulty seeing the traffic which was joining directly on the downwind for runway 27. When I finally saw the traffic; we appeared to be on a collision course. I took control and performed a diving turn to the right. Tower then requested that we maintain 2500' MSL which we did until the edge of the class D at which point we resumed normal navigation. It appeared that the tower had tried to turn us early with the expectation that we would pass in front of the aircraft joining downwind.
