The Advantages Of A Community College
In a recent talk before the Hyannis Board of Trade , Sena-
tor Stone had this to say, "The young people have more advan-
tages here for the future than in any other part of the country.
Keep the young folks at home by having a Community College."
As yet the decision does not appear to have been made to
move the Maritime Academy away from Hyannis. If it is finally
determined to move the Academy, the expectation is that it will
be done by September 1, 1950. That the move will be completed
by this date, however, is by no means conclusive.
During the last couple of years, while discussion has been
rife regarding such proposed move, the question has been to the
front as to use of the buildings which, prior to occupancy by
the Academy, were the headquarters of the Hyannis State
Teachers College.
The suggestion was made almost two years ago that a Com-
munity College be established in the Maritime Academy build-
ings; and, periodically, since then, the matter has been men-
tioned.
At the present time, there is a definite move to have a Com-
munity College here. And, in the event, the Academy should not
leave, the advocates of a Community College feel that another
place should be secured for the use of a new institution.
What is a Community College and to what purpose would
be its presence in the Cape Cod area?
Our State Legislature provided by an Act in June of 1948
that the State Department of Education may "in its sole dis-
cretion " "establish a Community College" to conduct "a pro-
gram of general and vocational education to serve the edu-
cational needs of one or more communities within the general
area wherein the same is so established."
A Recess Committee of the 1948 Legislature which was
dealing with educational matters recpmmended Hyannis as an
excellent place in which to start a Community College.
A Community College is a Junior College offering courses
suited for the two grades beyond High School. These courses
may be adapted to the needs of the community in which the
College operates. In this area, for example, courses should in-
clude those in the shellfish industry, agriculture, berry and tree
culture, forestry, hotel management, and in subjects to fit pupils
to carry on businesses in which the Cape and Island towns would
be particularly interested or adapted.Included under agriculture
should be the raising of all kinds of crops on farms; under berry
culture , the great cranberry industry; and under forestry, that
most interesting subject, our renewable natural resources.
With the exception of a number of private opportunities for
specialized advance training and the adult evening courses pro-
vided by our high schools, there is no organized public or private
institution of higher learning. A double-barreled purpose would
be served through the establishment here of a Community Col-
lege. It would give the young graduates of our high schools the
opportunity to carry their education further without having to
seek it elsewhere, with all the accompanying expenses entailed
in travel and living away from home. Not only would it enable
them to pursue further studies, but it would enable them to pur- 1
sue studies of direct training for scientific work in. the home
field. This is one side of the slate.
The other side shows the needs of our Cape communities,
the developments waiting for eager hands and minds, but hands
and minds that must be trained. Then, too, such an institution
would mean an influx of business and population. It would also
create additional local business. And we would suppose that
students would be attracted from other places,—those who liked
our location as good surroundings conducive to study, and those
who will be seeking to gain mastery in the subjects taught here.
The territory might well cover not only Barnstable County,
but Dukes and Nantucket Counties and some towns in Plym-
outh County as well.
? Senator Stone has been active in advocating for us a Com-
munity College and sponsored in this year's Legislature a bill
directing the Department of Education to establish an institu-
tion of this kind in Barnstable County.
The Department of Education will be sending a question-
naire to High School principals and others, in an endeavor to as-
certain the number of probable pupils who would enroll in .a
Community College. The Department has stated that at least
150 students should be available to justif y its establishment.
Senator Stone stated in a recent letter that he has himself
called the matter to the attention of the chairmen of the school
committees in all the Towns, asking them to pass the word along
to their school superintendents , high school princi pals, and par-
ent-teachers associations, and stressing to them the importance
of having the questionnaires seriously considered , so that the
requisite number of pupils may be obtained.
The Community College is a matter that concerns us all,
and it is well that we become familiar with what is being pro-
posed. We thus can voice favorable opinions , when our opinions
are needed , and speak for the idea, whenever occasion arises
to do so.
A Cape Cod Community College would be a fine asset from
every angle. Cape Cod needs it and would benefit greatly by it.
The Department of Education exists to serve the educational
needs of the State. Insofar as it will serve this corner of the State
well by giving us a Community College, so will it serve the
entire State. Training here will inure to the benefit of all the
Commonwealth. It will permeate the economic and social struc-
ture of the State and beyond, increasing the total wealth by add-
ing to the usefulness and strength of the larger community.

Dear Theodosia:
You've probably heard all about
the Cranberry Festival from some
of your nearby friends who went
to It. There were so many folks
there that among the crowd n\few,
at least , must have come from up
your way, methlnks.
As you might know, I went along,
in a small party, and we found
it most enjoyable , nil of us. There
was the pageant, the big feed , the
crowning of the queen, the tiny
railroad and the ride on it , but I'm
sure you've rend all about these
in the papers,—that is, what you
I haven't heard from your friends.
What I wanted to speak about
particularl y was a moment in the
grove, when, seated at several long
tables stretched out under the
pines were between two and three
hundred people. They were all busy
eating and I stood up for a moment
to look out over the crowd and, of
course, I got to thinking. "Here
is a cross section of America", I
Bald to myselt|." "How happy and
natural they all seem. All busy
eating and showing quite plainly
how much they are enjoying the
food, some even going at the pro-
cess pretty fast and furiously. But,
with it all, polite and jolly as they
could be. No crowding and trying
to get ahead of anybody. (To be
sure, this may be a doubtful virtue,
for there is plenty of food here,
and no one needs to grab.) Still ,
It makes a very pleasant sight to
see a group of Americans, many of
them strangers, sitting together in
this free and easy manner, par-
taking of- pleasure, and with atti-
tudes of freedom and lack of re-
straint. This Is a typical , American
group."
So ran my soliloquy. For n few
moments I ivns far awny from that
scene, gazing upon America in one
of its all-too-fe w care-free moments
of time. And 1 liked what I saw.
Then I glanced above tlrtse lines
of people at the tall pines and be-
yond into woods and open spaces,
and I thought, "That's America,
too, plenty of room to stretch and
move about, Bpace for wandering,
vistas to rest tired eyes that have
been working, peace and solitude,
distances for thoughts to roam,—
expanse and amplitude. But we 1
don't always want solitude and
space; but with that as a back-
ground, here we are in the midst
of all good fellowship. " ¦
I
My own thoughts then left their
roaming nnd I, too, returned to
earth and.beiug hungry, attacked
the good food as well as the rest
of them and settled down to light
and happy conversational ex-
changes with my eonmaplons.
