Experimental Boston school aims for private nonprofit system
The Boston public school system resists community groups seeking teaching and integration changes, prompting creation of the first experimental school with a $390,000 Ford Foundation grant. It envisions non-profit operation, state aid for innovative schools, mixed ethnic enrollment, and a community board oversight. The founders seek a league of such schools, though concerns arise about leadership and potential political influence.

Mellon Bank Sees Major Advances in Poverty Reduction
The Mellon Bank of Pittsburgh argues that further massive efforts are needed to eradicate poverty in cities and rural areas. It notes a drop from 38.9 million to 25.9 million in poverty between 1959 and 1967, adjusted for inflation, and cites rising white and non white family incomes as signs of progress. The bank’s publication suggests poverty could be eliminated by 1980 if this seven year effort is matched in the next fourteen, with continued progress among non whites.
