California lias the largest number of such alleges, 49, which at that time lad an enrollment of 15,091 men inti 12,436 women.During the 1934-35 season, two Wisconsin junior colleges closed, the education office reports. They ire: Central Wisconsin college, Scandinavia, founded in 1893 and became a junior college in 1933; and St. Mary’s college, Prairie du □lien, founded in 1814.Education officials reported that while some ’schools with junior college rating had increased tbeir curricula and requirements and aave become senior colleges, this is considered undesirable in general, because so many colleges and universities now exist, and the tunior college system Is still young. At the present time there are more than 500 accepted junior colleges m this country, according to Dr, Walter Greenleaf, specialist in higher education.PRODUCT OF PRESENTIn summing up the junior college movement in Wisconsin, Dr. Greenleaf said:“As an institution the junior college is almost entirely a prod-duct of the present century, developing for the most part since1900, and receiving the encouragement of the colleges and universities.“Many of its fundamental problems remain unsolved, anti attempted solutions of these problems with respect to support, administration, and states vary widely in the different states.”Throughout the country, according to Dr. Greenleaf, various changes have taken place during the past few years.. Branch junior colleges have been sponsored by several universities; a number of the four-year colleges and universities have divided their curricula into two divisions equivalent to a junior college division and a senior college division; and emergency and freshman junior colleges have sprung into being during the depression.On the other hand, Dr. Greenleaf reports, some one-time junior colleges have increased their two-year offerings to become degree-granting colleges or universities. Also some have merged with other stronger institutions as a means of self-protection. Still others, on failing to attract sufficient students or funds, have closed their doors permanently..HAS FOUND PLACE“Notwithstanding these latter changes, however,” Dr. Greenleaf said, “the bewildering activity evident in promotions, affiliations, reorganizations, and innovations indicates that the junior college, although still in a state of flux, has found a place in American education.”Enrollment in Wisconsin junior colleges, where men exceed women students, differs from enrollment in many eastern states. This, he pointed out, is due to the factthat many of the eastern junior colleges grew out of exclusive girls’ finishing schools.DROUTH REACHES TOP, EMERGENCY SECTIONS ARE BEINGWashington—(UB—First indication that the drouth of 1936 has reached its zenith and begun to relax its hold on the nation’s “breakfast” came today with announcement by the department of agriculture that it has begun to reduce the area designated as emergency drouth territory.The worst drouth in history hasn’t been broken but it’s been badly dented, the government said and announced that the first county to be removed from the emergency list is Sweet Water county m Wyoming.The one county was inconsequential in relation to the 1,091 counties still left on the list but it represented a trend that was the first concrete encouragement to result from recent rains m tbe drouth area.RE ICED
