A daily Bible motto urges readers to value instruction over wealth. The piece highlights Proverbs as a cornerstone that has shaped Jewish cultural and moral life.

The idea tests state rights and local equity, hoping to ease Washington gridlock while funding schools, but risks misalignment with actual needs and gaming by lobbies.

A telephone tax could, if refined, fund schools without enlarging federal reach.

Rumblings from the hinterland suggest the 1958 elections are a prelude to 1960 national politics. Democrats reinforce congression al majorities while Republicans hold the White House.

The 1959 General Assembly faces tax, prison, highway, and school reforms, plus reorganizations begun in 1957.
