The Accredited Sank Centre
Junior College


most important tasks is the accred-
iting. No one wants to attend a
college, spend money, and use time,
then receive credits of questionable
value. The three important ques-
tions that interest prospective stu
dents are: Cd Is the school accred-
tied; (2) How much does it cost;
90 What advantages does the
school offer.
Most colleges usually pass thru
a period Of organization in which
the work is not fully accredited.
Sometimes a college has to wait
until it has made a name for it.
self before its credits are accepted
at full value outside the state. The
usual course in establishing a col
lege is first to organize and begin
the work, and then have the college
accredited by the state association
of colleges, then afterwards by such
accrediting bodies outside of the
state as the North Central Associa-
ton Of Colleges and Secondary
Schools.
The Sank Centre Junior Exten-
sion reverses this usual procedure.
The college opens this September
fully accredited because it is af-
filiated with the Extension Division
Of the University of Minnesota. The
credits are actually given by the
University of Minnesota and are
recorded in the office Of the Reg
istrar and as such are accepted at
full value both within and without
the state.
The University Of Minnesota
closely checks on the work done in
the Extension Junior Colleges. Each
subject Is blocked out" into units.
The instructors must see that all
the work of each unit Is completed
before taking up the next unit in
succession. This method is to in
sure mastery of each lesson and
unit in the subject of study. 1t is
an excellent plan and teaches the
student how to study.
The saving in cost in attending
the local Junior College is not the
only advantage, although it is one
that will appeal to many who would
not otherwise be financially able to
attend college elsewhere. There
are other important advantages.
The instructors teach the students
the technic of study or how to study
effectively and give much other in
dividual help. This is impossible
where the enrolment is much lar
ger. In the local college the classes
will be small and every advantage
to do good work will be provided.
The four rooms assigned the Junior
College are isolated in the extreme
West Wing of the Public School
Building. This location affords easy
access to the library and gymnas-
ium and Is in every way ideally
situated for the work Of the Junior
College.
The percentage Of students who
pass in other Junior Extension Col
leges is naturally very high. The
reasons for this have been mention
ed. This Is another reason for the
growing popularity Of Junior Col
leges. Appleton, Montevideo, Gran
lite Falls, and Little Falls have all
found this Junior Extension College
movement highly satisfactory, and
this year there are many other cit
les, including Sank Centre, adopt
ing the movement and starting
work this coming autumn in college
freshman courses.
In another article we will describe
the curriculum to be offered this
coming year.

are usually made early in life, and
often these decisions are made
without any careful study or plan
ming. The choice of an occupation
is of highest Importance. Yet many
older persons will frankly admit
that they chose the wrong vocation,
and in the choice of their life's
work, never had any constructive
help. Some were thrown into their
occupations by well meaning friends
and others just drifted along. They
took the job that was available.
never considering their training, or
skills, abilities, interests, aptitudes
and desires. They gave no study
to their course and had no guild
ance.
Today, the leaders in educational
theory and practice are emphasiz-
ing the Importance of the principle
Of guidance in the choice of a life's
work. Guidance means simply
that the student is helped to make
the best possible use of his talents
and abilities. The idea is to train
the individual for the occupation
for which he can be best fitted.
There is trite saying that "the
stone that fits into the wall never
falls by the wayside."
The College Course
The college year is divided into
three quarters of three months
each. A five credit course meets
five times a week. A three credit
course meets three times a week.
A full program consists of sixteen
credits per quarter. Three credits
per quarter are required in English.
We also recommend three credits
per quarter in American Govern
ment and Politics. The remaining
ten hours are to be chosen from
the other subjects offered. The
cOmDlete LIST follows.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1939-07-27

A modern foreign language can
be offered this year only If the en-
rollment is sufficiently large to in
sure the assignment Of another
teacher. However, it is planned to
offer Rudiments Of Music and Har-
mony, while the college students
will be permitted to enroll in the
high school band and orchestra. We
also plan to set up a full physical
education program. There will al
so be opportunities in Public Speak
ing and Dramatics.
Evaluation Of Courses
English is required in all voca-
tions and Is an important factor
in ones success, especially in the
highly desirable occupations.
German is required in Engineer
ing courses and is useful in ad-
vanced work in Natural Science.
1t is fully accredited in degree
courses in Science, Literature and
Arts.
Mathematics courses are required
In Engineering, Surveying and the
Natural Sciences.
Economics courses are the sub
jects of Business.
History is helpful in Citizenship
training and valuable supplement-
al training in other courses.
Extra Curricular work Is valu-
able part Of leadership training
provided it Is not over-emphasized
to the detriment Of ones scholastic
achievement.

 Witnesses told the committee last week that a man identified only as George Rice, passed on to Dudley Gilbert, of New York, conversations which he said he overheard in a club relating to a plot to overthrow the Government.
 Gilbert testified yesterday that he had reports which caused him to urge promotion of an organization which could cope with the situation in event of an actual revolution.

 CHAIN OF CALLS
Kinq and Queen Now Trav- cling Faster than Average
 Movie Star on Circuit
By WILLIAM McGAFFIN

LONDON, May 23.-The King and Queen of England, now in Canada and also to tour parts of the United States, will travel faster and make more wearying public appearances than a movie star in circuit. Being born to the purple is no snap.
 Among the most trying features are the countless public engage ments you must keep-partly be- cause it's customary, partly because, like Hollywood stars, you need the publicity.
 In Your Sleep
 You walk until you're ready to drop, unveiling memorials, laying cornerstones, opening new buildings until you must see them in your sleep.
 You're only figurehead. You can't even write your own speech. But you've got to deliver it--in per- son--even though you have speech impediment that makes talking in public torture.
 Above all, you must always smile, always come through with an in telligent remark after they finish explaining whatever it is you're in- specting.

Ayers Balancing of Budget . Is Nearly Impossible
 for Next Year
REAFFIRMS SUPPORT
 OF ADMINISTRATION
Says "Diehards" Would Gamble with Nations
 System on Huneh

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Presi- dent Roosevelt, addressing the Re- tailers' Natinal Forum last night in his first major speech in five months. denounced his critics as radicals" eager to gamble" with the safety of the nation.
 The President bluntly gave notice that he does not sanction any abandonment of A m nj ation principles or objectives and declared that the taxes on undistributed profits and other "so called business deterrents'' are repealable only ii other business taxes are enacted to replace the revenues which would be lost.
 Budget Balance?
 The President said: While the conservative attitude of this Admin istration" hardly contemplates a permanent budget deficit, "balanc- ing the budget, today or even next year is pretty diffisult, if not i'm possible job
 Move Forward
 Further, the President said. "To- day, with no danger from surplus goods hanging over the market-Just because we have tried to keep the consumers purchasing power up to production-the nation is in an ex- cellent position to move forward into a period of greater production and greater employment"
 Some critics, the President de- clared, "are eager to gamble with the safety of our nation and of our system of private enterprise on nothing more than their personal hunch that if the Government will just keep it's hands off the economic system, customers will just happen. The word gamble" was used, the President explained, because there is nothing in modern experience to support such hunch.
 Plays Orchards
 The President said such people as would do such thing are actually the widest eyed radicals in our midst, because, despite the examples of proved failures, they want to gamble on their own hunch once more"
 Scanning fears of overbalancing budgeting, the President said "rea- sonable internal debt will not im- poverish our children"

BULLETIN--PORT
 May 23.--Coast Guard and Navy
 Craft are floating above the
 sunken submarine and are pre-
 pairing to send diver down to
 effect rescue.
 Condition of the trapped men
 is not known because the tele-
 phone communications estab-
 lished three hours after the sub
 marine sank have been cut off.
 PORTSMOUTH, New Hampshire, May 23-United States submarine Squalus. with a crew of 51 officers and men is trapped" in 240 feet of water about five miles off Marrow, on the Newhampshire Coast.
 The undersea craft went into a deep sea nose dive without closing one of her vital sea valves.
 Approximately five hours after the accident, high authorities of the Navy. who are here. expressed the opinion the majority of the men aboard are safe, so far, and with good luck. all will be saved.
 "The Squalus," said one Navy of- fiecr, lis new craft and is equipped with all of the latest safety devices and should be able to hold out for approximately 24 hours"
 Crews Quarters Flooded
 The only part of the submarine flooded is the crews quarters in the after part of the craft and aft of the engine room.
 Two rescue ships rushed to the scene and Navy officials said the line of attack will be to try and send a diver down from a surface ship and close the induction valve which was left open. If this could be done, they said, the ship might be raised.
 Two Navy boats and two Coast Guard ships were immediately sent to the scene which is off White Island, about five miles southeast of the Isles Shoals.
 Pretty Good Chances"
 The office of the Commandant of the Navy Yard, said: We think the men aboard have pretty good chance. We don't know just how much water got in but the ship is capable of being shut off in four or five water-tight compartments and it is possible, with the oxygen tanks on board, to keep them going for one week."
