COLLEGE-RE-EVALUATED

It is interesting to note that. while there is a growing tendency to stress the value of a college education in certain businesses and professions, there also is tendency to admit that college educatons are not necessary for every young or young woman. A few years ago Americas slogan might have been Higher education for everyone" We now may be on the way to offering the opportunity for higher educa tion to everyone who it.
 Screening tests have been given for some years to a few high school pupils planning college careers. Certain education journals say that these tests will be much more common in the future than in the past. Military training experience has contributed much to this field Scientific screening practices plus the old time screening" information offered through study of grades made by students during high school years will give an excellent basis for deciding whether or not certain youth would be wise to continue his formal schooling. Such combination of facts also will throw much light what type of work the pros pective student should follow.
 For many individuals, and in many businesses and professions college training is essential But voca- tional training better suit the needs of other individuals fitting themselves for other types of work. For the latter college years might well mean wasted years; might well retard instead of advance the opportunities which later life will afford.
 Hundreds of thousands of American families in the past have striven and sacrificed in order to send Johnny and Mary through college university This was usually without rhyme reason; only

 Our rehabilitation program may have it's problems, but at least thank goodness we're spared one problem that the Japanese are encountering frequently these days-vz the demobilizaton of dead heroes who turn up very much alive.
 During the war, the Japanese army carefully cul- tivated the notion that no Jap ever surrendered. Soldiers and their kinfok schooled to think that surrender was worse than death, and that It was a supreme pleasure to die for the Emperor. Every time Japanese detachment left to defend position, or was ordered into "banzai charge, the Jap army simped it's casualty report to state that all concerned died for the Emperor
 Even before the final surrender. of course good many Japs had personally different ideas about the joys of death than the Japanese army regulations prescribed and others found it less convenient to die than be captured. Consequently upward of 10000 Japanese soldiers whose names had been enshrined among the nations heroic dead now returning home and the Japanese Consolidation Ministry has job on it's hands restoring them all to legal life Members of the Japanese Diet demanding explana- tions why many reported dead erroneously by the imperial headquarters What the imperial head quarters saying do not know, unless it's 50 sorry, excuse it, please
