In the early 1960s, the River Valley Local School District built its middle school, its high school and its athletic fields in the former Marion Engineer Depot. During World War II, the depot had used the land for heavy equipment rehab, military artillery practice, materials storage, burial of construction debris and burning of waste materials and fuels. In 1997, a River Valley High School nurse grew concerned about the high rate of leukemia and other cancers in graduates. Then a stunning news report announcing a 122 percent increase in death rates over thirty years in the Marion area sparked an investigation. Was the land to blame? The question of what may have been known about the contaminates on the school grounds sent shock waves through the community that still linger today.

And they work their magic on the B and C students as well as on the A students.

Inside you'll find evaluations of each school's program and personality to help you decide if it's a community that's right for you; interviews with students that offer an insider's perspective on each college; professors' and deans' viewpoints on their school, their students, and their mission; and information on what happens to the graduates and what they think of their college experience. Loren Pope encourages you to be a hard-nosed consumer when visiting a college, advises how to evaluate a school in terms of your own needs and strengths, and shows how the college experience can enrich the rest of your life.

Christian schools in Ohio were the first to face major lawsuits to determine whether they have the right to exist. But Christian schools in many other states -- Vermont, New York, New Hampshire, Alabama, to name a few -- face similar attacks. It is a life-and-death struggle: make no mistake about it! Ohio's Trojan Horse details an early skirmish that was fought and won in one state. But it does more than that: it prepares the reader to fight his own battles with tyrannical government educationists on his own home ground. In this book, Alan N. Grover -- dynamic young executive director of Christian Schools of Ohio -- deals with the threat of statist control of Christian education. He views the problem from legal, theological, educational, philosophical, constitutional, and doctrinal perspectives. - Back cover.
