Tuition Drops Over New York Line
Manchester Granville and North Argyle High Schools in New York State cut their tuition from 750 to 520 for 1967 68 as state aid rises. The schools serve 19 students from the Bennington Rutland Supervisory Union with five from Manchester. New York rates undercut Burr and Burton Seminary limits, so Manchester parents pay no extra tuition. New York schools will not accept more Manchester tuition students. Dorset and other towns may still send students.

Can a Christian Be A Good Businessman
NORTH BENNINGTON The Women's Fellowship of the local Congregational Church held a panel discussion on balancing Christian ethics with business. Panelists and audience agreed a Christian aims to be full time, yet profit pressures and moral choices challenge him. The group endorsed the Golden Rule and personal codes, noting individuals rely on life influences rather than strict dos and don'ts. They urged viewing any job as service to God, with honesty and cooperation in dealings. The fellowship announced ongoing charity item collection for a Waterbury bazaar and an upcoming May 23 tea and flower show inviting nearby church women.
