! SCHOOL AND YOUR CHILD'
i By John Coray. Appalachian Staia Taaehata Collaga
HERE'S A WAY TO COLLEGE
ddiis year the first of World
Wtt irs crop of babies knocked
on college doors for admission.
TfcSS'Youngsters found entrance
through the schools’ portals
toother than listings in tiie so
cial register.
’rtie institutions have become
acutely fussy about back
grounds specifically, academic
backgrounds. Before opening
their doors, they examined stu
dents’ high school g.ades, gave
so-called “intelligence tests.”
Only the better applicants got in.
And for good leasons.
Most U. S. colleges and uni
versities, including North Caro-
were built during pre
war; days when there were fewer
chifilren and less demand for
higher education.
Births during the 1940’s prac
\ tically doubled any previous de
cade. These kids have started
, coming of college age. Many of
their parents served in the arm
ed forces or technical industries
where education is highly valued.
The parents want their child
ren to attend college and have
the' cash to send them. But
there’s just more youngsters
than the colleges’ facilities can
handle.
The result: Practically every
four-year college has set up a
selective system, based on ap
plicants’ high school graces and
scores on ability and knowl
edge tests.
What happens, then, to the
kids who don’t qualify, or don’t
have the cash for tuition?
The problem has put wind in
the sail of the stale’s fastest
growing educational medium—
the two-year junior college.
Origfhally founded in the
West, the junior college
Has-grown to 677 fully accredit
\ ed pries in the United States, 24
of them located in North Caro
lina), They enroll 905,062 stu
dent®—or one out of every four
students attending college this
year.-
Thjg, Old North State’s. 24,
ranking seventh in number na
tionally, dot cities, towns and
countryside from mountains to
sea. fLouisburg College, organ
ized in 1855, is one of America’s
oldest junior colleges. Char
lotte College, begun in 1946, is
one of the youngest.
Because of the large number
of junior cblleges, most young
people in the state are within
accessibility of at least one.
This means students who can’t
afford a large college can attend
a nearby two-year school while
living at home, reducing the
principal cost of away-from
home schooling.
Junior colleges also catch the
overflow failing to meet the
► four-year college qualifications.
It should be pointed out that
many students fail big school re
quirements, not because of lack
of ability, but because they loaf
through high school.
Junior college offers them a
chance to catch up and Show
ability, which, if promising, can
move the students on into their
third year at the big college.
Since 90 per cent of all college
failures occur in the first two
years, junior colleges weed out
students who cannot succeed in
college before they become bur
dens. on large institutions. It’s
easies - in a small school to iden
tify such pupils early, and to
steer 1 .them into work fitting
their capabilities.
Thfe' two-year college can be a
proving ground for many. It

objective.
Most four - year institutions
'recognize and support the junior
college role. Appalachian State
Teachers College, under Presi
dent William H. Plemmons, has
a program for preparing junior
college teachers.
Dr. Jesse Bogue, past secre
tary of the American Association,
of Junior Colleges, has conduct- '
ed classes at ASTC in junior
college administration and teach
ing.
Since Appalachian inaugurated
its graduate program for prepar
ing junior college instructors
'three years ago, according to
| Graduate Studies Dean Cratis
Williams, the demand for them
| has soared. Requests for more
than 200 college personnel, in
i eluding instructors, deans, regis
trars and coaches have come
from as far away as Massachu
setts, Alaska and the Canal
Zone to Williams’ office.
Typical degrees granted by
junior colleges are A.A. and
A.C., representing Associate in
Art and Associate in Commerce.
The two-year colleges thus pro
duce skilled technicians and as
sistants.
For example, the girl who
doesn’t fancy herself as a lady
doctor, but who is interested in
medicine, can become a medical
secretary through training at
Lees-Mcßae College at Banner
Elk. She graduates highly
skilled and much in demand for
I a well-paying job.
Many Tar Heel institutions
specialize as “finishing” schools
! for girls and military schools for
boys. Fifteen offer special re
ligious training.
I One important advantage of
the junior college is its size.
Student populations in Carolina
range from 70 at Oak Ridge
Military Institute to 1,000 at
Mars Hill.
Most are in the 200 to 800
bracket. This permits small,
more intimate classes and en
courages greater participation in
student activities. A youth’s
chances of making the basket
ball or debating squad are much
greater than at the 7,000-student
university.
Five of the state’s junior col
leges are publicly controlled and
charge nominal fees. Tuition for
a year at Wilmington College
'comes to about $2lO, plus books
and small laboratory fees.
Privately controlled institu
tions are slightly higher, but not
much, depending on their ex- j
elusiveness. A year’s expenses 1
at Louisburg College costs about!
$690, and can be paid quarterly.
A new breed of junior col
leges arising is t'he “community
college,” so-called because it of
fers subjects to adults and youth 1
who live and work locally.
Examples of the community
institutions are the Asheville-
Biltmore, Charlotte and Wil- j
mington Colleges. The state;
considers their services so worth
while that financial help is giv-'
en through the Community Col- j
lege Act.
Community colleges have
grown like bamboo sprouts. |
Wilmington College rose from a |
yearly 200 enrollment at its be-1
ginning after the war to an ap
proximately 1,000 figure, which
includes adults.
Charlotte College has a 655
enrollment.
The three community colleges
offer student and adult courses
ranging from “Tourist Training”
(which became an international
model at Wilmington College)
to “TV Repairing.”

Sunday School Lesson
OUR NEED FOR GOD
International Sunday School
Lesson for October 23, 1960.
Memory Selection: “Why are
you cast down, C my soul, and
why are you disquieted within
me? Hope in God, for I shall
again praise him, my help and
my God.” (Psalms 42:11).
Lesson Text: Psalms 19; 42.
The purpose of our lesson to
day is to show how God, as an
ever-present spirit of redemptive
love and saving power, meets
our deepest human needs.
The writer of the forty-second
Psalm had made a great dis
covery. He had learned that a
God of saving love and redeem
ing power was present every
where.
A thirst for, and an aware
ness of God! This is the ulti
mate human distinction, the piv
otal fact in human destiny, the
awe-inspiring height and depth
of human life, the beating heart
of the human story. But at
this point we confront a para
dox. Wanting God, we run from
him. We acknowledge religion
as the supreme value, yet at the
same time we dread the de
mands it makes upon us. The
greatness of God frightens us.

We alone of God’s creation are
endowed with the capacity to
think God’s thoughts after him.
We sense the reality of exist
ence beyond earth and time.
We can envision and serve the
good. We have the awesome
freedom of moral choice. We
feel the pangs of conscience.
This is a greatness that breeds
in us a sense of alarm. Instinc
tively, we want to pull back and
hide away; we shrink from de
mands for growth from beast
to man. We cringe before the
! vista of eternity—an outlook re
vealing the weighty consequence
of moral choice, the far-ranging
significance of daily thought and
action. We are, alas, enamored
of self. By nature we rebel
against the requirement to con
trol our conduct in obedience to
law higher than our own de
sires.
As an answer to this paradox,
let us look at what can hap
pen When we respond to this
basic truth about ourselves and
God not with fear and rebellion,
but with faith and love. First,
we gain the priceless resource of
vital religion. When this hap
pens, God is no longer an abs
tract idea. He is a Presence;
personal, intimate, warm and
responsive. He is a reality of
daily life that satisfies our deep-

the office into the crowded street, and hur
ried on into the fading sunlight. The bell
m the familiar old church tower was strik
ing five. I had made it again! I would
reach the commuters’ train and be in my
suburban home at the usual hour.
As I rushed past the church, chimes
sounded melodiously over the busy, strug
gling mass of humanity. Suddenly, I
stopped in the midst of it. Why this mad
rush day after day? Tomorrow and to
morrow and tomorrow would be the same.
But today the chimes recalled to me a
sense of peace and purpose, a satisfaction
once experienced in the fellowship of
worship and friendship.
The commuters’ train was forgotten
as I entered the vast, semi-lighted church.
From far up at the marble altar came the
words of a prayer: “O God, our Heavenly
Father . . . the endless tide of business,
toil, and care moves on around us. Go
with us and bless us who have stopped
within this holy place of prayer for one
brief moment to be refreshed by thy love,
and quieted by thy peace.” The organ took
up the response and the "Ament" soared
upward as I knelt in grateful prayer.
“Never again,” I resolved, “shall I deprive
myself of the security and satisfaction of
regular church attendance and worship.
My place in the little suburban church
shall be filled on each Lord’s Day.”
THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . .
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest factor on
earth for the building of character and
good citirenthip. It is a storehouse of
spiritual values. Without a strong Church,
neither democracy nor civiliiation ean
survive. There are four sound reasons
why every person should attend services
fgularly and support the Church. They
are: (I) For his own sake. (2) For his
children's sake. (3) For the sake of his
community and nation. (4) For the sake
of the Church itself, which needs hit
moral and material support. Plan to go
to church regularly and read your Bible
Jaily.
