DR SHELDON READS INVESTIGATION INTO JUNIOR COLLEGE PLAN Ashland, Medford, and Baker City Favor Idea Fostered By California Several towns in Oregon, Including Ashland, Medford and Baker City, are considering establishing Junior colleges in connection with their high schools. Dr. H. D. Sheldon, dean of the school of education, is heading a committee to investigate the standards established for Junior colleges in other states and the ad visability of organizing such schools in Oregon. Some of the advantages claimed for giving the freshman and sopho more years at one or two high schools throughout the state, Dr. Sheldon says, are that it would relieve the crowded conditions always present in first year classes, and make it possible for instructors to give in dividual attention to the younger stu dents who need this direction much more than they do later in their col lege course, and also that young people financially unable to come to the University from distant parts of the state could afford to attend local! schools. ine movement originated In Cali fornia, according to Dr. Sheldon. A standard has been worked out there whereby the high school must have a certain number of students, so much apparatus, a stated amount of taxable property and the academic courses offered must equal those at the universities. Since the work is given at the high school the expense incurred is met by the town sup porting the high school. It does not receive state support. On gradua tion from the sophomore year of one of the accredited junior colleges the students may enter either the Uni versity of California or Stanford uni versity as a junior. Dr. Sheldon expects the committee to have a meeting later in the spring, and fn the meantime it 5s getting ul! data possible from California and other places where there are junior colleges. The committee, named by the state superintendent of public instruction at the request of the State Teachers’ association, consists of Dr. II. 1). Sheldon, chairman, Pro fessor 10. I).
