TN POSTWAR America, technical
l. education will "overshadow" all
other forms of higher education and
technical Institutes will be more i'm
portant than universities except for
such professions as law, medicine and
the ministry.
There will then be more "higher"
education available in the country
than ever before; it will be more
widely diffused than ever before, and
the nation will have the benefit of the
developed skill and leadership of a
large number of active citizens who
have been highly and specially
trained for their vacations.
This forecast was made by DR..
Mark Ellingson, president of Roch
ester IN. Y. Institute of Technology
before the American Society of Me-
chanical Engineers in New York
"The technical institutes lUiU play
an increasingly important role in
higher education in the postwar
period" DR.. Ellingson said.
"Since their education is func-
tional and practical they tOiH drarO

an many cases their offerings

schools because they Uill not require
so long a period for completion of
their work.
"For the most part they haze in
diUidualized their programs and they
will be wiiling and able to make
adjustments that colleges and uni
uersities UiH not make"
nR. ELLINGSON r eminde d the

York has formulated a policy of
establishing a number of state tech

tional training requirements of the

BUY Christmas Seals

1t has dropped largely because
of the pennies and dollars we spend
each year at this season for Christ
mas seals.
Apparently we grew careless
and assumed we had stamped out
this scourge because last year we
failed to meet the modest quota of
the Detroit tuberculosis Society.
A ND the disease is menacing again
"A due to lack of essential foods
because of war restrictions.
The Detroit tuberculosis So
ciety asks Detroiters for only $780,
600 in seal purchases this year. We
must not fail that plea. We must
pursue the fight relentlessly.
The seals themselves are brave
and pretty little symbols to adorn
our Christmas gifts, but they are
more than that.
They are pledge tokens that we
have re.enlisted in the grim battle
against tuberculosis.

III AVE you obtained your Tubercu-
IL losis Society Christmas Seals?
If not you better get them right away
to use on your Christmas mail and
packages.
You can't afford to be without
them, they cost so little and accom-
plish so much for so noble a cause.
For instance, the Detroit Tuber-
culosis Sanitorium at Twelfth and
Tuxedo avenue is supported almost
entirely by the annual sale of Christ
mas seals. So is the tuberculosis
Farm Sanitorium at Ypsilanti. So
are the free clinics in the public and
parochial schools and the summer
camp at North Lake which cares for
200 ailing children selected through
the Detroit schools.
A S RECENTLY as six years ago
"A more deaths in Michigan resulted
from tuberculosis than from any
other disease.
Today it has dropped TO seventh
place in fatal Affections.
