J.C.’s Must "Meet Students’
Needs leather Than Prepare
Them for iJmversity
HARBESON GiVES PAPER
Junior Colleges Should Be
Grouped With Secondary
School system
John W. Harbeson, principal of
the junior college, who returned
last week from a convention of the
American Association of Junior
Colleges held in Atlantic City, an¬
nounced that the convention voted
approval of the 6-4-4 plan, pio¬
neered by the Pasadena schools.
Pasadena was further recognized
by having Mr. Harbeson placed on
the committee of standards along
with Prof. J. J. Oppenneimer or
Stephens college and Professor
Monsmger of the Virginia inter-
mont college.
“mere was a general recogni¬
tion on the part of all speakers
that the junior college has as its
chief problem meeting the needs of
the s aments of junior college years
lor tne maximum growth and de¬
velopment irrespective of the ad¬
mission requirements of the four-
year colleges," said Mr. Harbeson.
“in other words,” he said, “the
junior college must recognize itself
as a distinct being and must meet
the needs of its students rather
than serve primarily as a prepara
tory senool for higher institutions.
Willie at the convention, Mr.
Harbeson presented a paper on
“Prevention of Overlapping of the
High acnool and J unior College.”
in his paper he showed where
the 6-4-4 system is more advan¬
tageous to the student and pointed
out tnat the junior college year
are, in reality, secondary in char¬
acter anu snould be grouped with-
the rest of the secondary schooi
system rather than with tne stand¬
ard colleges and universities.
Mr. Harbeson visited the Sarah
Lawrence junior college of Bronx-
viiie, N. Y., and the Isaac Delgado
trade school of New Orleans on his
return trip.
Junior colleges from all over the
country, with approximately fif¬
teen junior colleges from Califor¬
nia, were represented.

Christmas Party
A Christmas party was given by
the Y. W. in the library of the

gend, dramatized by Von Leer.

Reinhart, Katherine Ford, and Ha
zel Kaiser. The costumes were in

othy Dibble and Lois Greenley.
Christmas carols and a cheery fire
in the huge fireplace added to the
Christmas spirit expressed in the
decorations. Place cards at the sup¬
per were designed by Blanche Hub
bard. The members present each
brought some toy which will he the
Christmas present of a child in the
Mexican settlement. The party took
