Who Will Be Aided by Federal School Aid?

According to President Johnson, the passage of his aid-to-public-schools bill (masquerading as part of the War on Poverty) is “just the beginning of the first giant stride toward full educational opportunity for all of our school children.” Doubtless Mr. Johnson will seek, next year, to increase this subsidy from the Treasury — which for the first year, by the terms of the act passed by the House on April 9, and soon to be by the Senate, would amount to $1,300,000,000.
