The Council position is in accord with the predominant views of na- tional and local Jewish organiza- tions, and warns that "permanent, full support" of nonpublic schools could be the eventual outcome of direct financial subsidies, and it questions the obligation of the state to support competing school sys- tems as advocated by some pro- ponents of the parochiaid measures. "Any parent desiring to provide private education for his children must be willing to assume the obli- gation to pay for such-services at his own private expense," the state- ment says, while the state's obliga- tion is to provide "qUality public" education for all children. The Council statement pointed as welleto the dangers to religious or private education that would ac- company government support. "The increased government control which inevitably accompanies pub- lic money could diminish those characteristics which distinguish nonpublic from public education.' Youth on the Move Lisa S.
