Extractions: ACADEMIC, PRIVATE AND PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS The years of the village of Grand Rapids, before the growth of the public schools with the High School at their head, were the palmy times for private schools. In the early days they quite overshadowed the poorly equipped district schools, and kept their hold upon the public confidence until the establishment of the public schools upon a liberal basis made the private schools no longer such a necessity. They might well be called legionthey were a multitude, and no more than an enumeration and brief description of the leading ones, and their teachers, can be given. Certain of the pioneer schools have already been mentioned in connection with the history of the public schools, and the most important of the latter, private and parochial institutions of learning, will be noticed in these succeeding paragraphs. July 18, 1842, Miss M. Lovell opened a school in a room "over the Kent store," "for the instruction of Young Ladies in the French Language, Drawing and Chinese Painting," as the advertisement had it. The terms were reasonable$3.00 for French and Painting, and $1.00 extra for drawingand Miss Lovell's school received a goodly share of the patronage of the young society ladies of the village who wished to acquire the accomplishments furnished therein.

Extractions: In one narrative, the six-year-old program, in which nearly 4,000 of the Cleveland school district's 57,000 elementary-age school students are enrolled, is a lifeline intended to rescue poor children who would otherwise be without options in a district engulfed in "an unprecedented educational crisis," as Judith L. French, an Ohio assistant attorney general, told the court. In the other narrative, the program is a charade in which millions in tax money is funneled in the name of parental choice into the coffers of religious schools. Parents play little more than a "ritualistic role in the transmission process" because religious school tuition is the only use for the vouchers in the nearly complete absence of private nonreligious schools, said Robert H. Chanin, a lawyer for the Cleveland residents who successfully challenged the program in the lower federal courts.

Extractions: George F. Will Happily, the number seven was not lucky on Thursday for the disgustingly determined and mostly liberal people who oppose extending to poor parents the right of school choice that is routinely exercised by middle-class Americans, including many liberals. In the most important case concerning equality of opportunity in the 48 years since the school desegregation decision, the Supreme Court ruled that Cleveland's school-choice program, which empowers parents to redeem tuition vouchers at religious as well as nonreligious private schools, does not violate the constitutional prohibition of "establishment'' of religion. It was the seventh consecutive defeat in the court for the enemies of choice, whose tenacity is inversely proportional to the morality of their cause. They have again failed to get the court to rule that the separation of church and state is violated by any program in which an individual is allowed to direct public funds to religious schools or programs. Dare one hope that Thursday's ruling, although 5-4, will, nevertheless, be decisive, and that the anti-choice forces will relent in their campaign to continue blighting the lives of poor children? Cleveland's choice program was created shortly before Ohio's government declared the city's schools to be in an "academic emergency.'' Well, yes. The school district flunked 27 out of 27 standards for student performance. These are schools that no affluent liberal of the sort crusading against school choice would let his or her children even walk past, let alone into.
Extractions: By GREG TOPPO AP Education Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - Lawmakers in eight states are poised to push school voucher legislation, now that the Supreme Court has ruled that these programs do not violate the Constitution's requirement of separation of church and state. But parents should not expect their local parochial school to begin offering taxpayer-subsidized slots in the first grade this fall. States first would have to devise such programs and the political process to put them in place inevitably will be slow. California, Texas, Colorado, Minnesota, Arizona, Indiana, Virginia and Utah are ready to move. And on Capitol Hill, House Majority Leader Dick Armey, R-Texas, plans to introduce a voucher program for students in the District of Columbia. Even supporters of vouchers - or school-choice programs, as they call them - say it could take months or even a year or two for state legislatures to develop similar programs. Further complicating matters is the question of whether religious and private schools that take government money must comply with laws on disability and civil rights.

Extractions: Education is highly valued in the Wheeling area, beginning at the preschool level, with a variety of excellent choices available to families in both the public and private sectors. Private and Parochial Schools Three private and six parochial schools are an important part of the positive reputation of the Wheeling area's educational network. This unusually fine group of private schools, synonymous with educational excellence and tradition, provide options for school age youth and their parents. Each year many students from the public, private and parochial systems become National Merit scholars and receive national recognition. For example, in 1992 more than half of the Presidential Merit Scholars in West Virginia were from Ohio County, and this one small county provided 1 percent of the merit scholars chosen in the entire nation. The dedication of the community to academic achievement is an on-going commitment that is continually being enhanced. The NASA Classroom of the Future project at Wheeling Jesuit University (see

Milton Friedman is a senior research fellow at the Hoover Institution. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in economic sciences in 1976. T he recent Supreme Court decision upholding Clevelands voucher program has cleared the way for a major expansion of parental school choice. Opponents of choice can no longer use the First Amendments religious Establishment Clause to attack voucher programs, now that the Supreme Court has declared the Cleveland program constitutionally acceptable even though most voucher recipients went to parochial schools. Most schools that accept vouchers are religious for a simple reason and one that is easily corrected. That reason is the low value of the voucher. It is not easy, perhaps not possible, to provide a satisfactory education for $2,500 per student. Most private schools spend more than that. But parochial schools are able to accept that low voucher amount because they are subsidized by their churches. Illustrations by Taylor Jones for the Hoover Digest When the GI Bill was enacted, doubts were expressed that the colleges could expand rapidly enough to handle the flood of new students. Yet the number of students enrolled in colleges nearly doubled in the two years after the end of the war. The supply expanded to meet the surge in demand.

Extractions: Teachers want their students to return in the fall with their reading skills intact or improved. They are your natural allies as you work on attracting children to reading programs at the public library. Enlist their natural support with promotion in as many ways as possible. One of the best ways to promote library programs and good school/public library relations is to arrange to visit all, or as many as you can, of the elementary/middle schools in your area. If you are targeting young adults, consider sending information to be put on daily announcements. Once you've scheduled your programs and have promotional materials in hand, contact the school district's administrative office and the administrative offices of all public, parochial and private schools. Ask permission to promote the library program in each elementary school in the library's service area. Then schedule individual visits during the last few weeks of classes through principals, teachers, or school librarians. Try making a visual impact by wearing something related to the theme. Give students information about the program to take home and make sure posters will be prominently displayed at the school. Glean ideas from promotional book talks from
