Prof. Krister Stend a h 1 of Harvard Divinity School, agrees with this verdict. And he believes it is primarily up to Christians to relieve the tension by re-thinking some of their basic attitudes toward
Judaism.
Three Focal Points Rabbi Bokser lists three aspects of Christian teaching which Jews find particularly
disturbing.
The first is the contention that “Christianity is the true

Rabbi Bokser acknowledges that the Jewish high priest and his associates "played some part In the apprehension of Jesus,” but says that “this in no way shifts the focus of primary responsibility from those who were the true masters of
the land.”
Prof. Stendahl says many anti-S e m i t ic tendencies In Christianity have their origin In passages of the New Testament which are violently critical of Pharisees and other Jewish religious leaders of Jesus’ day. But Christians should bear in mind, he says, that the men who founded the church and wrote the New Testament were themselves Jews. The Harvard scholar suggests that the solution may lie In Christians learning anew to think of themselves as did the Apostles who first preached the Gospel: namely, as “a peculiar kind of Jews.”

“the continued Christian preoccupation with proselvtizing the Jews.” Christians are committed to the missionary task of trying to convert all people to faith in Christ, and Jews bitterly resent the Christian assumption that Jews must eventually see the error of their waya and enter the church.

By DAVID NYDICK School systems throughout the nation are in the process of preparing their budgets for the 1968-’69 school year. The development of a budget is a complex matter ordinarily involving many members of the staff along with the school board. A budget is the translation of the total school program in terms of dollars. It represents buildings, salaries, equipment, books along with the many other items necessary for the operation of a school system. Passes Several Tests The superintendent of schools, after extensive discussion and evaluation, compiles a proposed budget which he presents to the board of education. Board members examine the recommendations in order to consider the total cost, maintain a balanced program, and judge the effect on the educational philosophy. Special citizens’ advisory committees are often appointed. Changes are made. Public meetings are usually held to explain the budget to the citizens. After any additional changes, the board of education adopts a final budget. This may be the last step, or the budget might be presented to the community for a public vote, or it may be presented to another governing group such

as a city council for approval. The procedure will depend upon the particular laws of the state and community. Regardless of the method of approval, the school budget is an important responsibility for every member of the community. It determines in many Ways the quality of the educational program. The cost should be realistic. False economy is as bad as wasteful spending. Attend All Meetings How can local citizens make proper judgments concerning the school budget? They must learn the meaning and purpose of each expenditure. They should attend all budget meetings as well as regular board meetings throughout the year. A full understanding of the school’s activities cannot be obtained at a few budget hearings. Many decisions and reports are made during other meetings during the year. A budget is only on estimate of expenditures. The actual purchases are made during the school year. Many costs are determined by competitive bidding. The board also has a responsibility to proride the opportunity for citizens to learn about the budget and the schools. Budget meetings should be open to the public. Sufficient written materials should be provided for the community. Remember that many portions of the budget are required by law or contract. A ris ig cost of living m^ans that a budget must also rise to maintain the program.
On The Farm Front
WASHINGTON UPI — The Agriculture Department says it plans no changes in its announced 1968 cotton program. The department said a thorough review of the cotton situation for the current season and anticipated supplies for the 1968-69 session Indicate that no changes are warranted. Some segments of the cotton industry have urged the department to change its program to boost production. In its summary of the current cotton situation, the department predicted that the U.S. carryover of all kinds of cotton at the end of the current marketing year on Aug. 1 would total about 6.75 million bales, compared with record stocks of nearly 17 million bales in 1966. A little more than 6.5 million bales of the expected Aug. 1 stocks will be upland cotton, the department said. The report said the expected supply of cotton for the 1967-68 season has declined by nearly a half million bales because of the small 1967 crop, the smallest output of cotton in the United States since 1895. At the same time, government economists said, prospective demand for U.S. cotton has declined by about a half-million bales because of weakening prospects for U.S. cotton ex-
ports.
Export prospects for U.S. cotton are weakening because of smaller than expected use of cotton in some importing countries. particularly in Europe, primarily reflecting the continued lag in economic recovery in several countries.
