...questioned by sincere individuals who would exaggerate free religious enterprise into a form of state-help for diverse religious activities. The latest of these experiments in extended state participation in the spiritual field, and by far the most painful to evaluate, reached its unsatisfactory climax in the Ewing Township Decision, rendered last week by the Supreme Court. Split into a five-and-four grouping, the Court nonetheless upheld a New Jersey law which grants tax rebates to families whose children must pay bus-fare in order to reach parochial schools. These tax rebates constitute repayment to families which cannot...
...often the value of parochial education has been injected into just this type of argument. There is no place in the case against the Ewing Township Decision for any conclusions about Church schooling.

But he notes with satisfaction that he, an "intellectual," belongs to the P.T.A. and the volunteer fire department, that he is secretary of the fire district, director of the Community League, editor of the town bulletin, and trustee of School...
...Ridge Observatory, 25 miles North-east of Cambridge in Harvard Township, was established as a more likely site for the systematic photography of the Northern skies. Today, armed with a Schmidt Camera--advantages; better image over larger field, astronomically speaking short (one half hour) exposures, revealing stars down to nineteenth magnitude--the staff at Oak Ridge is aiming at a complete analysis of the Milky...
