An institution either In st. Louis
or Carlton County would save the
County of st. Louis more than my
salary each year I would like to feel
that had done something towards ac-
comphshing that project, especially
since the saving will be perpetual.
When we consider that we are COM
mitting 125 to $50 patients per annum
to Fergus Falls the need is apparent.
Many that we have committed in the
past could be transferred to such an
institution, relieving the pressure at
Fergus Falls.
Similarly, an institution for the
feebleminded would relieve the pressure
at Faribault. In other words, the state
at large would benefit by locating two
such institutions up north, and 1t would
be merely gratuity to the area where
located.
At the present time, the school dis
trict of Duluth and the various Range
districts, at considerable expense are
maintaining special school facilities for
many pupils who could very properly be
cared for in a school similar to the one
at Faribault. It is special training that
they require at the hands Of skilled
teachers who have special training and
ability along these lines, and who COM
mand more than average salaries.
I recommend that st. Louis County,
and all of the counties of northeastern
Minnesota, join forces for securing such
institutions, and that st. Louis County
particularly be not aggressive in de-
handing the location of the same with
in its boundaries in view of the bar
gain made years ago. While 1t would
be pleasing to have the institution In
the County, yet we win accomplish q
great good by having it readily &C

city where there is already fine col
lege or university. The largest junior
college in the United States 5000 en-
rollment) Is In Los Angeles where are
located the University of California at
Los Angeles, the University of Southern
California, and many other colleges
There are still other junior colleges
within ten miles Of these great uni
versities. The Junior college idea is
considered so sound that Bucknen and
the College of the Pacific have organized
junior colleges on their own campuses.
The original purpose Of junior col
lege was to offer the first two years Of
college or university work to students in
the locality. This generally included
two years of liberal arts work and GER
tain pre- professional courses. After
about twenty years of operating with
this objective it was felt by many that
the Junior college should have broad
er purpose. that 1t could adequately
train students for certain types of work
which are sometimes called semi-pro-
fessional.
More recently, third objective IS
making its appearance due to a public
demand for two years of non-specialized
training beyond the high school. The
General College of the University Of
Minnesota is perhaps the best example.
Many Junior colleges are considering the
establishment of two years of general
land some specialize0 training which
will end with the second year and not
lead to a baccalaureate degree. Recent
economic and social changes have post
poned the age of employment and are
making more irsistent the demand that
some training beyond the high school
be offered. This no doubt will in time
become an important objective Of the
junior college.

COMMUNICATED

The Ely Miner:
The State of Minnesota maintains
hospitals for the insane at Anoka,
Hastings, Rochester, Fergus Falls, and
one at st. Peter for the criminally in
sane. We commit our insane patients,
except in rare cases, TO Fergus Falls.
If, for instance, a patient is picked up
in Duluth and the residence of that
patient is in Olmstead County, we
would, with the permission of the State
Board of Control, commit to Rochester
The State maintains hospital for the
inebriateS at Willmar; one for epileptics
at Cambridge; one for feebleminded at
Faribault; and state high school and
school for the blind at Owatonna.
From September, 1928, to February
%, 1885, we committed 1873 patients to
Fergus Falls, whose cost of transpor-
tation was $30,98O24. We committed
IS patients to Willmar, whose transpor-
tation was $2,50997. We committed
165 patients to Faribault, who have al
ready been transported, whose cost Of
transportation was $3,77050. We have
committed more feebleminded patients
than this number indicates who are on
a waiting list waiting for room Some
OF these have been on the list for
nearly two years.
Some of the incurable insane have
been transferred from Fergus Falls to
Willmar. About the LIST of February
there were 1877 patients at Fergus Falls,
too many for their accommodation.
About thirty of these. patients have
epilepsy in some form, and many of
them should never be there, but they
are emergency cases and had to be
sent somewhere pending room for them
at the proper institution. In the same
manner there are twenty at Fergus
Falls on account of feeblemindedness
who should never be there, and would
not be there were there room for them
at the proper institution.
You will notice that geographically
st. Louis County, Cook, Lake. Carlton,
Hasca, Koochiching, and other nearby
counties, are out of the picture. We
have to transport our patients we'll
nigh clear across the state. The State
Board of Control, the various welfare
agencies, the superintendent of the
various institutions, and others whose
work brings them in contact with these
patients, will all inform you that there
IS an urgent need for hospital for the
insane, and secondarily hospital for
the predetermined, in the northeast por-
ton of the state.
I understand that several years ago
it was conceded by people in Duluth
who are interested In another project,
that the next state institution should go |
to Carlton County. That would re-
duce the cost of transportation per
patient from $4,000 to $500 as at
present. down to not to exceed $500 or
500.

THE JUNIOR COLLEGE.

I'VE can look upon the junior college
movement which is now spreading
throughout the United States as the
most wholesome and significant &C.
currence in American education in the
present century. Ray Lyman Wilbur
president, Stanford University, former
secretary of the Interior.
Harvard College was organized in
1886, the first institution of higher
learning in America. In 1884 the Edu-
cational Directory listed less than Toe
four-year colleges and universities. In
the same directory over 500 Junior COL
leges are listed, and all but a hall
dozen have been organized since 1905
1t took 300 years to develop TOO col
leges and universities, but only 80 years
to develop 500 junior colleges. The
junior college is evidently fulfilling q
real need in our educational system
California, with 81 junior colleges and
an enrolment of $4,000 students, has

cessible to us. It will enable the
families of the unfortunate ones to
visit at less expense. The main OBJ
tective Is one or both of these hos
pitfalls, location is of secondary i'm
portance, provided the location is in
northeastern Minnesota. It seems
strange that northeastern Minnesota
should find all state institutions so in
accessible.
The need throughout the state Is so
general that the state ought to and
probably will provide facilities. We
should oppose facilities which are mere
ly additional buildings upon grounds
now owned, or which are mere wings
to present institutions.
st. Louis County, and possibly any OF
the counties up here, could well afford
to donate the building site, making ur
any cost by the saving of transporta-
ton.
suggest that letters to the State
Board OF Control, all members of the
House and Senate from all of the
counties effected, Senator Rockne, the
Governor, and any other state officials
whose activities may be enlisted, be
sent at once. Newspapers can con-
tribute much by only one editorial, but
by contributing many editorials. anc
sending marked copies to the various
officials.
Possibly your Chamber of Commerce
should take the lead and contact al
civic organizations of similar nature
organizing a committee made UP of al
of them with a smaller executive com.
mittee to keep pounding away at thi.
until we get what we want. Our owl

value.
AS I understand it there are state
funds to be spent for his purpose and
some federal funds may be available, SO
it would seem that since the need is
acute that we can now get these in
situations at less cost than at any other
time. We will, at least, save that which
the federal government contributes, ID
this is possible.
These two projects are certainly worth
while projects and are not merely
emergency projects for the purpose Of
affording relief.

WHOSE MORO WILL YOU TAKE
FOR BLOWOUT PROTECTION?

Are you accepting the judgment of
men who risk their lives on their tires and
know from experience tho tire that gives
them the greatest blowout protection?
Thirty-three race drivers and their
mechanics lined up for the dangerous,
gruelIing grind of the 5OO-Mile Race at
the indianapolis Speedway May 3Oth-
Firestone Tires were purchased and used
on every one of the thirty-thrce cara-
Kelly PetiIIo won the race at an average
speed of 100 miles per hour. Wilbur Shaw
was second, flashing across the finish line
just behind the winner. Both drivers broke
the track record without tire trouble. In
fact, not one of the thirty-three drivers had
tire trouble of any kind.
Cum-Dipping is one Of the outstanding
reasons why Firestone Tires give such
amazing performance. 1t is a patented extra
process not used in any other make of tire.
When you realize that last year 1000
accidents we're caused by blowouts, pune
lures, and skidding, you will understand
how important it is for you to protect your
