THE McHENHY PLAINDEALER Thursday, Septembar 26# 1963 Advantage Of Communify College From Recent Survey Report 4Thl* b the second fa » series of articles based on the firtdings and work of the Me- Hfmy County Community Collie committee.) As area citizens have followed- the progress of McHenry otluntfy's Community College committee, many have no doubt asked themselves, "What It a coinmunity college?" In brief, there are two types aNwrnmunity or junior colleges ^-^ublic and private. The public community college can be described a»«-school administered a&tf operated by a local board of education offering twa-years of Instruction beyond the senior year of high school. •Although the first junior college in the county was established in Illinois (Joliet, 1901, the state has lagged in the development of this, important element of higher, education. tn 1962, there were thirty junior colleges recognized by the Office of the Sujierintendent Of Public Instruction. Seventeen were public junior college enrolling 45,000 of the 50,000 student who attend the two-year schools. The remainder are private junior colleges. The students enrolled in the coinmunity colleges of Illinois that year made up 35 per dent of the total student attendance at all public or state instutitkxis of higher education. Basic Functions "What are the basic functions of the junior or community college? In California, for example, which has successfully pioneered in the field and now has sixty-eight public junior colleges enrolling 354,000 students, the Board of Regents outlines tdese functions: --Terminal education providing training for those students who will finish their period of f0rmal education in the junior College. This is usually designed to achieve occupational competency, civic competence, and personal adequacy. >»-General education for efcery junior College student vrtiich will prepare him to function effectively as a member of a.;family, a community, a state, ••ration and the world. •--Orientation and guidance to enable the student to discover his aptitudes, choose his life's work and prepare him for the pursuit of such work. .--College parallel training Which will provide the first two years of senior college work for students who plan to transfer to a university. --Adult education Including cultural and vocational education offered in cooperation with other public educalional institutions. --Community colleges should also provide an opportunity for students who failed to meet college entrance requirements to remove such deficiencies and' qualify for admission to the higher institution of their" choice. It is significant that when the Illinois Advisory Committee on Junior Colleges defined the public community college, it went on to outline its instructional areas which paralleled the California recommendations. Offers Advantages The principal advantages of the community college are readily apparent. It offers posthigh school educational opportunities at relatively low cost to residents of the area. This can be an extremely important factor when one considers that the cost of going away to school and paying large tuition costs are two of the major reasons why many individuals terminate their education when they complete high school. A study in Minnesota indicates that in towns located within 10 miles of a college, one high school graduate in four went on to college. As the distance increased to 25 miles, the ratio dropped to one in seven. Similarly, in a Michigan study, it was revealed that in some counties with high per capita incomes but without local institutions of higher education, the percentages of students continuing their education beyond high school were among the lowest in the state. There are also some hardheaded, pract ical advantages in the establishment of a community college, even for those who may not have children who will benefit directly. Money Leaves Community It has been estimated that millions of dollars leave local communities every year to pay for further education of the youth of the area as they attend colleges, universities, and technical or trade schools in cities that are centers of posthigh school education. In local terms, this means that a great deal of money leaves McHenry county every year to be spent for educational purposes in cities which have institutions of higher learning. A conservative estimate of the cost per student to attend college away from home is per year. A community college that would have 500 students enrolled who might otherwise have attended college elsewhere, would keep some $600,- 000 per year in the community. Community colleges can also be of benefit in alleviating a problem which has become a major concern to many nonurban areas. This is the loss of youth in the 18-22 year-old-age bracket. Some studies indicate that local community college facilities tend to keep the youih of the community near home after their educatipn is completed. ! 1 Many authorities predict that community colleges offer the best hope of meeting the ever- STATION WAGON IS PRESENTED TO CHILDREN'S HOME A station wn^on, three bicycles, and outboard motor and water skis have been presented to the Woodstock Children's home by Frank Walters of Pennsylvania, member of the board of directors of the home. Gifts such as these help meet the budget of over $90,000 needed to operate the home, which is presently caring for fifty school age boys and girls from 6 years through high school age. Over 50 per cent of their increasing number seeking higher education. One went so far as to say that the junior college movement is the most significant occurrance in American education in the 20th centlll'V. care must come through contributions and gifts. According 1 o Mn Redding, this is a good start on the McHenry county fund drive which is already under way. Twenty-four thousand letters have been sent to McHenry county residents In the annual request for help for the home, which has been operating in Woodstock since 1900.
