to find everywhere the same great

against advocates of digger and

only opposing expression was in the

pal Palmer stated that the county
wide j2n:or college is the only solu-
ton Cor advanced education, he felt
that the local junior college, estab-
lished in con Injunction with the Braw-
lev high school, filled the immediate
need Of his particular bailiwick.
A number of speakers gave short
addresses on the subject. Earl
Northrup, chairman of tie special
farm bureau committee, appointed TO
investigate the junior college situa-
tion, said that the community should
forget sectionalism and geographical
lines and work for a real Junior col
lege for Imperial Valley.

against two or more scattered and
feeble institutions. Professor j. l..
House. Of Fl Centre, said for seven
years he had advocated county jun
Tor college and IS still heartily in
favor Of it.
Professor Jones Of Westmorland is

best in education and the way to at
tain this,'' he stated, lis large

riculum. Politics and sectionalism
must not enter into the situation in
this matter" he concluded.
Professors Aker and Collins Of
Uoltville were unable to be present

favored a single large county unit
for the junior college. Mrs. kavan-
augh of Holtville. on the county SUI
perintendant s staff, stated that

the junior college idea, 10 out of 80
graduates las, year being enrolled

belief that there should be one jun
ior college in the county, central as

and activities.
Urges State Aid

that the county should have state
