Last week the first sober study of consequences was published by the hard-headed Southern Regional Council. The authors: Education Professors Donald Ross Green and Warren E. Gauerke of Atlanta's Emory University. In an objective, 40-page pamphlet (If the Schools Are Closed . . .) they dismantle the private school plan completely.
