Educator Predicts Increase in Number Of Junior Colleges
Chicago, (INS)—Junior colleges will expand more rapidly in the next 20 years than high schools did in the two decades after the first world war, Dean B. Lamar Johnson of Stephens college, Columbia, Mo., has predicted.
Writing in the School Review of the University of Chicago, Dean Johnson foresaw the junior college of the future as a "terminal" school, with only one-fourth of its graduates going on to universities. He also predicted that junior colleges will be predominantly public schools and that they will become increasingly four-year institutions, covering the four years after the sophomore year of high school.
The educator foresaw a need for junior colleges "which will enroll between 900,000 and 1,000,000 students in contrast with a total enrollment of less than 250,000 in 1940.

"U.S. Pacific Fleet Knocked Out; Troops in Leyte Are Isolated, Seven More U. S. Warship Blasted" read the headlines of The Tribute, extra published in Manila, Philippines, Oct 27, 1944. The Tribute, a Japanese propaganda paper, was found with several other pamphlets in a Jap tank, knocked out before it reached the Allied Infantry lines.
Sinkings Announced Are Mythical
The publication was sent to Prof. Elmer F. Beth of the department of journalism by Maj. Maurice C. Holden, a graduate in 1940, as a sample of ineffective Japanese propaganda.
The news story, sample of the enemy's factual reporting, said that "the once mighty U.S. Pacific fleet is no more. It has been practically wiped out by the destructive blows of the Japanese grand fleet. Formidable units of the Japanese navy have at last opened up in full force, working in perfect coordination with the naval and army air arm.
Statistics published by the Imperial Japanese army and navy units of American air and sea craft sunk or damaged in the air battle off Taiwan inculded;
In the sea an dair battles east of the Philippines before Oct. 26, 7 aircraft were sunk, 13 carriers damaged, five battleships damaged, five cruisers sunk and five damaged, four destroyers damaged, three destroyers sunk, ten transports sunk and fourteen damaged, and seventeen landing ships and barges sunk.
Ten aircraft sunk; five carriers damaged; two battleships sunk, two damaged; three cruisers sunk, four damaged; and 13 warships damaged. More Sinkings Imagined
"Japanese forces either sank or heavily damaged seven more American warships, including six aircraft carriers, in addition to the exploits announced yesterday, Oct. 25, in the battle in the seas east of the Philippines."
A special communique to the Tribune stated:
Although Frank Davis, PT 10, had him "out on his feet" in the second round, Dick Laub, PT 7, came back with enough power in the third to take the decision, in the lightweight semifinal bout in Robinson gymnastium yesterday.
Laub and Farber Win In Semi-Final Bouts
This pamphlet is only one of the many printed by the Japanese to be thrown out near the Allied lines to create doubt, fear and distrust among their enemy.
