-Caveat Lector- Page 6 Libertarian Party News January 2001 Poverty crisis New figures from the U. S. Census Bureau indicate that the percentage of Philadelphia school-age children living in poverty fell by about 19% over the last three years. Since poverty correlates with poor academic achievement, this is good news, right? Not according to school officials. "It could mean a decrease in federal funds," Jim Sheffer, chief of federal programs for the Pennsylvania Department of Education, told the Philadelphia Inquirer. "We're very concerned," added William Kozlowski, the director of the Philadelphia district's Office of Grants and Fiscal Services. "We knew all along this could be a problem." No word on what measures will be taken by city officials to increase the poverty population. -Education Intelligence Agency Communique December 4, 2000 -- The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking; he can ruin himself with gambling. If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog. - G. K.
