I SCHOOL l YOUR CHILD | HERE’S A WAY TO COLLEGE This year the first of World War II’s crop of babies knock ed on college doors for ad mission. The youngsters found entrance through the school’s portals tougher than listings in the social register. The institutions have become acutely fussy about back grounds — specifically, acad emic backgrounds. Before opening their doors, they ex amined students’ high school grades, gave so-called “intelli gence tests.” Only the better applicants got in and for good reasons. Most U. S. colleges and uni versities, including North Carolina’s were built during pre-war days when there were fewer children and less demand for higher education. Births during the 1940's practically doubled any previ ous decade. These kids have started coming of college age. Many of their parents served in the armed forces or tech nical industries where educa tion is highly valued. The parents want their chil dren to attend college and have the cash to send them. But there’s just more youngsters than the colleges’ physical fa cilities can handle. The result: Practically every four-year college has set up a selective system, based on applicants’ high school grades and scores on ability and knowledge 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 state’s fast est growing educational med um—the two-year junior col ege. Originally founded in the Middle West, the junior col ege has grown to 677 fully accredited ones in the United States, 24 of them located in North Carolina. They enroll 105,062 students ■— or one out ,f every four students attend ing college this year. The Old North State’s 24, ranking seventh in number na tionally, dot cities, towns and countryside from mountains to sea. Louisburg College, or ganized in 1855, is one of Am erica’s junior colleges. Char lotte College, begun in 1946, is one of the youngest. Because of the large num ber of junior colleges, 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 iway-from-home schooling. Junior colleges also catch the overflow failing to meet the four-year college qualifi cations. It should be pointed out that many students fail tug school requirements, not because of lack of ability, but because they loaf through high school.

Doctor's Orders Are Important The doctor pulls his prescrip tion pad toward him and scrib bles away like mad for a couple of minutes. All that’s needed is the name of the pills and how many of them. What’s he doing? Writing his life story ? No, he’s writing directions for taking the medicine. The druggist will type them on the label he puts on the bottle— and if you know what’s good for you, you’ll follow them. “One tablet three times a day” — That’s not the same as three tablets once a day. If you take all three at once, you may get a dangerous over dose. The doctor wants you to spread the pills out over the day so the medicine will be working in you all day long. “Before meals” — Yes, it makes a difference.
