The report also said it viewed what it called education min ister Ben Hanuschak s umbrella concept with interest but could t approve or disapprove without knowing the specifics of the plan. The direct or traditional form of Aid to private schools which the report rejects is direct government Grants or Al lowing parents of private school children to divert their Educa continued Tion taxes to the private school they support. S i x arguments Are Given against direct Aid and five areas of dissatisfaction with the current educational system Are set out. Among the Points made in objection to direct Aid Are these the granting of Aid May Lead to a proliferation of Pri vate schools some of which May teach philosophic dogmas which Are anathema to a demo cratic society.
