Bill Whorton Junior Colleges The wind blowing, and an Expanding In United States -D.C.-0.P- .) Washington, Within the next ten years there will be systems of junior and community colleges providing two years of advanced education beyond high school for everyone in this country, according to Dr. Edmund J. Gleazer, jr., Executive Director of the American Association of Junior Colleges. Calling it one of the great educational phenomena of our age," Dr. Gleazer points to a 1,500,000 student enrollment in junior and community colleges, up from 1,200,000 last year. The U.S. Office of Education predicts there will be some 2,000,000 students enrolled in these two-ye- ar institutions by 1971. Presently there are 800 junior colleges in the United States and by 1970, Dr. Gleazer predicts, there will be 1,000. He finds some states where the ideal of education beuniversal two-ye- ar yond high school has almost been New York, Florida, reached California, New Jersey, Pennsyl- vania, Michigan, and Illinois. These states represent some 40 percent of the population of this country, and, he indicates, are well on their way to making this sort of education available to everyone. Is there a role for continuing private, junior college education?" he asks. Yes, there is considering the tremendous growth of public support. Presently they enroll about 12 per cent of the total number of junior college students.
