\ \ PAGE TEN More Colleges Are Torkel East Of The Mississippi There are more than twice as many accredited colleges and univ- ersities east of the Mississippi River than there are to the west. Of course, there are also twice as many people in the east. Of 970 accredited schools of high- er education scattered throughout the 48 states, 652 are located east of the Mississippi and 318 are in the west. Seventy-six of the eastern schools are in Pennsylvania. This distribution of the nation’s schools has been graphically pres- ented in a unique Map of Colleges and Universities in the United States, which was introduced this summer at the Diamond Jubilee Convention of the American Asso- ciation of University Women. The map, compiled and published by Esso Standard Oil Company, was presented to the A.A.U.W. at its convention in Boston. It is currently being distributed through Esso Sta- ndard offices in 18 eastern and southern states from Maine to Louisiana. The college and university map shows eastern schools on one side, western schools on the other. Col- lege and university towns and cities are keyed to show whether a school is for men or women, or if it's co-educational. As a rule the nation’s more pop- ulous states have the most schools, while the sparsely populated states have but a few. New York leads the nation with 85 accredited schools Than West Of It and Pennsylvania is next with its 76. California is third with 54. Two western states — Wyoming and Nevada—each have one univer- sity. The same is true for Delaware in the east. Rhode Island, smallest in size but not last in population, boasts five accredited schools—two for men, one for women and two co-educat- ional. ‘And, in the south, Louisianna straddles the east-west Mississippi Riyer boundary line with impartial- ity. Ten of its universities and col- leges are located on the eastern shore, while eight others are to the west.

Here are just a few of them: “Even though a student has taken a commercial course in high school, he or she would benefit greatly from further education. I took the com- mercial course in high school and decided to go to a business college to further my secretarial studies. I feel that I have learned much by attending Wilkes - Barre Business College. I have bettered myself not only in shorthand, typing and other subjects that make a good secretary but, I have also made many new friends end have learned to under- stand people better.” Another says: “I feel that having advanced training in business will benefit me. I will have more con- fidence in myself if I know that I am thoroughly trained. Attending Wilkes-Barre - Business College has helped me greatly. It gave me the opportunity to overcome my weak points, and has given me an ample idea of office routine. Without this extra training, I doubt whether I would ever have been able to carry out office duties as expected of me. Extra training in business also helps to get better jobs. I think a gradu- ate of business training is given a lot more attention than a person who isn’t trained.” A Third Replies “Because I think it will advance you in your training, and it will cer- tainly build up your skill in the commercial subjects. Business Col- lege also prepares you more for the secretarial field you desire to enter. You certainly will build up your speed in shorthand and typing. And, I believe you will feel more qualified when you apply for a position in an office.” Had Two Years Typing “When I was in high school, I figured I knew all that could be learned about business. I had had two years of typing, two of short- hand, and a year of general busin- ess, along with my history, English, and other subjects. I couldn’t see how they could teach me anymore in typing or how I could get any- more speed in shorthand in just nine months since it had taken me at least two years in high school. I was so wrong. They go about it in such a different way here! I have learned so much more that I know I'll never be sorry I came.” A Fifth Reply “I strongly believe that a com- mercial student should have more training in addition to the training he received in high school because the competition in secretarial and clerical jobs today is becoming very keen. I think that a person MUST be above average to get a real worth-while job. A person with more training gets job preference over others because he is much better equipped to do technical office work.” Mental Adjustment “I think going to an advanced school of business not only prepares you for a better secretarial position, but also tends to help you associate with many different kinds of people. To be successful in the business world, one must not only be able to take shorthand well and type fluently, but one must be able to make psychological adjustments for life in the business world.” Bright Ideas For Their Lunch Boxes Mothers whose children car- ry lunch boxes to school are presented with an ever recur- ring challenge to fill them with ‘appetizing taste tempters offer- ling daily variety, as well as {proper nourishment. | Here are some bright ideas lto help mother meet the challenge: * * * Apples, oranges and bananas make healthy, delicious lunch- box desserts. It's a good idea to remove orange skin ahead of time and separate the orange into segments. Or else slit the skin four or five times to loosen 2. * * * Add small meat balls or slices of frankfurters to a vacuum bottle jof tomato soup. The youngsters can fish them out and eat them on toothpicks. * * * - Floats for soup add interest to school lunches. Such favor- ' {ites as pop corn, potato chips or [crisp ready-to-eat cereals can be easily packed in sandwich bags. * * * Cold meat loaf, sliced thin, is a tasty lunch-box addition. Send along with it a little pa- per cup of ketchup covered with foil. Cold roast or fried chicker lis another good way to put meat into the school menu. j £3 pp { i IIE es EL THE DALLAS POST, FRIDAY, AUGUST 23, 1957 MORE THAN EQUAL TO THE SUM of all parts of a busy school day is ‘this geometric print dress.
