Hoosac School stays steady amid enrollment dip
Hoosac School in Hoosick New York prepares for its 88th academic year with about 60 boarding and day students. Headmaster James Beckford emphasizes a traditional religious liberal education, four chapel sessions weekly, a strict dress code, and a work program. Tuition rose this year to 4200 for boarders and 1800 for day students, with 50 percent of income from tuition and 50 percent from endowment and gifts. The school remains selective, offers 20 percent scholarships, and may become more coeducational as more girls apply in coming years.

UAW Studies Ford Offer in Ongoing Contract Talks
Ford offers its 170000 hourly workers about 9 percent in a three year deal but the UAW remains wary. President Leonard Woodcock said a strike may still occur after a two hour session, with Ford opposing paid days off while backing a 40 hour week and a schedule shift. The average wage would rise from 6.88 to 7.51 per hour in year three, plus potential COLA boosts.
