...Professor King has been watching the test tubes more than the students. My 37 years in a suburban high school indicate that he need not worry about today's pupil becoming a "tired old man" from "a 17-hour day of classwork, school activities and homework" [Feb. 17]. "Day" should read "week." Tired all right, but rarely from study-instead, from boys, girls, telephone, cars, TV, sports, clubs, spastic dancing, slumber parties, clothes, hair grooming, parties, girls, boys...

A more cynical person might describe the strategy as one of feeding the sparrows by feeding the horses. The Education section proposed that public expenditure per pupil be increased from $532 to $1000. This would reflect an increase of tax outlay per Negro family of $104, or 37.5 per cent of average Negro family income. But almost every last penny of this increase would go to middle-class persons whose salaries are already well above the poverty...
