Dennis Payne 2209 Magnolia La Marque By SENATOR RALPH YARBOROUGH Just a few days ago I introduced a landmark into the Senate of the United This was called the Post-Secondary Education Act of 1970 or the Free Universal Junior College Education Act. The purpose of this is to extend the concept of free public education in America beyond the high school years to include two additional years of what the educators call post-secondary or what we normally call junior college This provides for a system of educational assistance allowances to be paid directly to the eligible certain amount for each academic year of full-time study for a maximum of two It also provides for cost of instruction allowances to be paid to the colleges The eligible persons would be high-school graduates and the eligible schools would be those legally authorized and accredited schools offering not less than two years of work beyond the high school Arid these would include not only academic institutions per conventional junior but also technical institutes and vocational schools which required high school education Thomas Jefferson believed that a free and prosperous people must be intelligent and In Thomas Jefferson's a majority of the adult people could not read and but Thomas Jefferson demanded free schools for the public He was unable to demand more than three years of free schooling though he believed that more was He was after what he could Jefferson also thought that basic free education was the means to out among all the finest talent in the general whether that talent was rich or He believed It might be diffused Time has proven him Now these two steps of educating all of our youth through high tuition are regarded as a natural provision society made in the interest of an enlightened citizenship and a more economically efficient and productive working This type of education was accepted because society itself demanded it for its its its I am asking that this same general principle be extended beyond the high school years through the 14th year of education as the new minimum level of free public State GOP Director Cites Fantastic Strides In County Norman executive director of the state Republican was featured speaker at the Galveston County Republican Executive Committee meeting held Tuesday evening in Texas Newton opened his remarks by stating that he was extremely encouraged with the results he he found during the day in stops in El and now Texas and he would finish up in after his at an appreciation He pointed out that much important such as the Crime Control was bottled up In the A difference of seven Senate seats would allow Republican which would clear up the Newton placed Texas and Tennessee as the two most important states in the effort to obtain these Newton spoke of George Bush as most articulate and the most with a tremendous He quoted a job approval poll that showed Bush with a 30 per cent and 39 per cent above Newton went on to talk of a late 1969 poll that showed Preston Smith with less than 50 per cent and explained that the pollsters feel that an incumbent getting anything less than 60 per cent is in trouble and that they have never seen a candidate so bad off.
