To do this, the junior college must become an actual and routine extension of the senior high school, making a complete course of five years.
Junior College Aids Adjustment "Under the present system," according to between graduation from high school, and entrance into a university or college is too great in most instances to be adjusted to the best interests of the new college student. The first two years of college work should be done before the students' life's work. The two years of junior college work should be to take care of and make this adjustment, so when the student enters any institution of higher learning he will have an objective before
"Many students have not the ability or the desire to complete a four year course, who would be benefited by a two year course if such a two year course is accepted in a stepping stone to something else. The junior college would also help the students who decide to continue their education, to determine whether they mean business or are simply interested in the idea of attending the university."
First Year Students Not Mature

Statistics show that while a certain interest in maintained during the freshman year, a decided slump is found during the sophomore year. The sophomore year, is a greater number of voluntary withdrawals.
"This is due principally," said Dean Brendan, "to the inability of the student to adjust himself to the rather intricate organization of the modern university during the transition from the regular four year high school

Junior colleges may be divided into two types. The first type is the municipal junior college supported in the same manner as the high school and is an extension of the high school courses.

Not meeting with much success there, the company became a party of strolling actors that toured the province 1930-1934. During this
cees from 1646 to 1658. During this time Moliere observed many types of persons and wrote some fences on the plan of the Italian comedy of masks.
It was not until November 1659 that Moliere won instant fame by "Les Preciens Ridicules" which satirized the faibles of polite society.
to toss the company was allowed to call itself the "Troupe du Roi" in competition with the actors at the Troupe, and were known as the "Troupe Royale."
"L'Avaré," (The Miser) appeared first in 1608. It is a study of the miser and the dissections which avarice brings into a family. Father and sister.

Brick work on the Union buildings will be started next week, and will be completed by August, according to Dan Stewart, foreman of the workers. Work is not being rushed now but favorable weather conditions have permitted building to proceed at a steady pace.

This plant hydrotest-and weight a testigon and consists of a vertical shaft hydrometron attached to a 750 ton generator delivering $2,000 kW of hydraulic power.
Bigger Generators Cheaper Electricity
A 70,000 horsepower hydro-electric unit recently installed at Niagara Falls utilizes the same amount of water as seven former 5,000-horsepower units, yet does the work of fourteen such units. And it saves 700,000 tons of coal yearly for the nation.
As more and still more uses are found for electricity, larger and more economical generators are installed. At the power plant, as well as at the consumer's end, important changes and startling developments have steadily reduced the cost of electricity for light, power, and heat.
And wherever electricity has blazed its trail—in towns, cities, industrial centers, and rural communities—comfort and progress have come to stay.
Generating and distributing electricity concern the technical student. But electricity's application in the betterment of industry, the professions, and home life concerns every educated person. Cheap electricity means many startling achievements today, but countless and unbelievable possibilities tomorrow.
