MAY Tech Authority Lists Barriers To Continued Education
By Dr. O. M. Blake Jr. V*?
It has been said, and truth
fully I believe, that every
one has educational needs.
Some of these needs are met
through the elementary and
high school; others are met

be met through special chools
which include Community
Colleges and Technical Insti
tutes.
Each petson may have his
own list of barriers to continu
[ ed education. Indeed, there
| are many barriers. From among
| the many barriers, the follow
ing-three sitem to be rather
—well documented? {1) geogrsph

( motivational.
s
Geography many ti mes is
a factor in determining whe
ther or not a large proportion
ofhigh school graduates will
attend an institution offering
post-high school education. In
otlier words, .some citizens
have a very distinct advantage '
over their contemporaries in
post-high school educational
opportunities simply because
an institution happens to be
located nearby. Studies show
that more people will avail
themselves of the opportunity —
for continued education when
an institution is located within
their geographical area.
Mayland Technical Insti -
tute helps to reduce this com
mon barrier to continued edu
cation.

Financial'obstacles com -
bined with distance also con
stitute a barrier to attendance
at a post-high school institu -
tion. The rising cost of higher
education is a well-known fact.
When students can live at
home, and >vhere there are
possibilities of student .work
programs, .and student aids are
availably more ’students sire
able to continue their educa
tion.
Mayland Technical Instiictc
makes -it possible for students
in the Tri-County area to
attend a post-high school insti
tution with a minimum of cost.
Tuition is only $32.00 per
quarter or $128.00 for a school
year. In addition to lower
cost, students may live at
home and “commute. Other
financial assistance will be
available too.
Motivation for continued
education is the third barrier
and is much harder to elimi -
nate because it is an individu
al matter. When people begin
to realize that there is a direct
relationship between employ
ment opportunities and
tion, and that |ob opportuni -
ties for the trained person are
increasing but jobs for the un
dereducated are decreasing,
then they may become moti
vated to pursue career educa
tion designed to prepare them
:. for jobs with a future.
Among the many barriers
to continued education, these
three—geo graphical, financial
and motivational—seem to be
the most prevalent. Mayland
Technical Institute helps less
en these bamers for the people
of Mitchell, Avery and Yan
dey Counties.

Letter To
The Editor
i
Dear Editor: -a- . _
I would like to contact any
of my mother's relatives who
live near Burnsville or Ram
seytown. Is it possible tohave
. aft item in your paper asking
them to write to me?
My ancestor: were Stephen
Edwards who married Lucinda
Roland. They lived in Egypt
Township in 1860. Their son
James Edwards married Claris
sa Mashbum. They died with
- in 3 days of each other, about
1896. •
Their daughter, Eliza Ed- -
wards, was my grandmother.
She married John Clark John- «
son in 1879. My mother was
born to them 1882. ,
Mary L. Johnson, mother
of John Clark, was widow of
Andrew Johnson who died as a
Union soldier in Civil War.
Mary L. Johnson was a doctor
not a midwife. She travelled
by hoise and buggy, treating
and caring for those who were
ill. My mother said she had
enormous doctor book which
she always took with her. She
died in or near Burnsville in .
December, 1902.
I would like very much to
hear from any descendants of
Edwards, Roland, Mashbum or
1 Johnson fai .lilies and anyone
who can give me information
about the Roland Cemetery
west of Burnsville.
I truly appreciate any help
you can give me.
Sincerely, \ i
Mis. J. M. Diffendoffar
