D. J. Morriss, Supervisor
of the Pisgah-Croafan Na

nounced the establishment

Counseling Best In Small
Colleges, Experts Find
Individual counseling,
which is considered so im
portant in higher educa
tion today, finds some of
its best application in the
country’s small colleges.
“The typical counseling
program in the small col
lege,” says the February is
sue of Good Housekeeping
magazine, “consists of ori
entation and testing, dur
ing the first year; personal
and academic counseling,
throughout the course; and
vocational guidance, begin
ning when the student de
study, and regulated hunt
ing and fishing. Designa
jtion as a Wild Area by the
Chief of the U. S. Forest
Service precludes future
road construction, commer
cial timber cutting, or oc
cupancy. Thus, a sample of
virgin mountain forests is
reserved to posterity. Since
the gorge is too rough for
economical logging its re
servation will not affect
; the forest’s timber sale pro
gram.
Visitors are advised not
to go down into the gorge
alone. The hike through
the length of the area a’
long the Linville River is a
strenuous two day trip.

“Everywhere you 1 ook
you see hills and homeless

blessing to know my wife

the same thing.

In its third Annual Re
port on Small Colleges,
which lists 125 institutions
in all sections of the coun
try, the magazine says that
it is the special claim of
such colleges that “the in
timate faculty-student re
lationship is a reality, not
a mere ideal.”
The college list includes
those which are independ
ent institutions with en
rollments not exceeding
1,500 and with board, room,
and tuition fees not exceed
ing $1,200. They were chos
en by an Advisory Board
of three distinguished edu
cators.
In its report on the col
leges listed, the magazine
cites specific achievements
and facilities which have
enabled many small institu
tions to equal or surpass
the academic records of the
more famous schools.
