The educators compared pri-
vate and public school costs in
the Atlanta area and said that
the average yearly cost per
pupil is more than twice as
great in private schools ($625)
as in public schools ($265.
Unfortunately" the educa-
tors said, "the financial difficult
ties the tuition grant proposal
creates are only the beginning
Of the tale"
One of the more serious prac-
tical obstacles listed by the
authors was deterioration Of
quality. Contrary to popular
opinion" they said, "the public
schools even now are doing 9
better job, on the average, thar
the private schools" They
cited Princeton tests to back ur
this thesis.
Other obstacles, they said
would be the loss of variety in
the programs offered, the fact
that it takes a year or more to
obtain accreditation even under
the best of circumstances, anc
the fixing of responsibility fol
school policies.

Two AtIontons Stress
Private School Costs

ATLANTA. Ga. Aug. 10
(AP).-Operation of private
schools in the South to prevent
indignation would cost twice
as much as public schools and
probably lower the standards
as well, two Atlanta educators
report.
Their findings were con-
tanned in a pamphlet prepared
for the Southern Regional
Council and released yesterday
by the council. The authors are
DR.. Donald Ross Green, assist
ant professor Of teacher edu-
cation at Emory University,
and DR.. Warren E. Gauerke,
associate professor Of teacher
education at Emory.
The authors said provisions
for a private school system
have been enacted into law in
Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia,
Louisiana, North Carolina and
Virginia should the public
schools be closed.
The pamphlet was primarily
concerned with what would
happen If private schools were
set up by giving tuition grants
to all Sabotage children.

Writing in the government

scientific progress is being
hampered because the acad-
emy's personnel is begged down

field.
Wide Changes Asked
Mr.. Semyonov, a vice presi-
dent Of the academy, urged the
elaborate system Of scientific
academies in the various Soviet
republics be transformed. Cen
eral research and scientific
tasks should be centralized In
a few major scientific centers,
he said. while the local groups
would study local natural re-
sources and seek ways to in
crease productive forces.
The scientists views appeared
generally in line with those of
Premier Nikita Khrushchev,
who criticized the academy at a
meeting Of the party's central
committee last June and urged
that 1t be streamlined. Mr..
Semyonov endorsed the pre-
mier's suggestion that the acad-
emy's eight departments be re-
duced to three: experimental
sciences. geological and geo.

ences, with mathematics and
computer techniques included
in all three.

ing brightly" in La Grange.

the motion, saying the defend
ants have the best attorneys
in La Grange and that they
have had sufficient time.
AS soon as Judge Boykin de-
MED this defense move, Mr..
Darden then asked for further
time for the purpose Of filing
a petition to move the trial
elsewhere. There were no ar
gumentS and Boykin quickly
denied this plea.
