Supervisors Asked To Finance Survey A.C.ofC.WantsActiononJuniorCollegeProposal With implications that the boards of education of the Santa Ana junior college and Fullerton junior college were selfish in their decision not to cooperate in a program for institution of a county junior college, and with assertions that the county will need within five years one or two more junior colleges to accommodate pupils from those districts not attached to the two junior college districts, the meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange County, at Huntington Beach, Thursday night, authorized appointment of a committee to go before the board of supervisors and request that body to finance an educational survey of the county for the purpose of determining the requirements that may be needed within the five-year period. Ralph McFadden, Placentia; H.A.Lake, Garden Grove; W.B.Mandeville, Huntington Beach; Frank Henderson, Orange, and W.C.Jerome, Santa Ana, were named. The committee had previously served for the same purpose and appeared before the board, but dropped its activities when the Santa Ana board of education declined to enter into the program for a county college. Discussions on the situation were long and developed some "firework," with a declaration by O.T.Stevens, of La Habra, that if the committee should file a report designating points at which other junior colleges should be located, a bomb would be exploded that would wreck the Orange county boost body. Later it was pointed out that the committee would not be expected to make such a recommendation, but that a report submitted by experts making the survey probably would indicate the advisable points for establishment of additional institutions of learning. W.J.Carmichael, of Fullerton, and H.H.Hale of Placentia, said that educational men were directing the business and the educational program of the schools, and declared their belief that it is time taxpayers were interest- Carl Knopf, assistant professor of Biblical literature at the University of Southern California, will be presented by the Honor Society of the high school to speak to the student body at a special meeting called for Tuesday, February 7.

Later it was pointed out that the committee would not be expected to make such a recommendation, but that a report submitted by experts making the survey probably would indicate the advisable points for establishment of additional institutions of learning. W.J.Carmichael, of Fullerton, and H.Hale of Placentia, said that educational men were directing the business and the educational program of the schools, and declared their belief that it is time taxpayers were interesting themselves more in school affairs and taking the business management out of the hands of the educators. "I believe taxpayers should take more interest in school matters than they do, and see that hired educators do as the taxpayers believe best for the schools," Hale said. "Administration of business affairs of schools by other than professional educators would be beneficial, and we would have just as good if not better, educational facilities than we have now." J.P.Greeley, president of the Associated Chambers and superintendent of schools of Orange county for many years in the early days of the county, recounted conditions obtaining in the state when the state university and Stanford were mere text book colleges, and stressed the rapid population growth in the state. He also referred to the institution of the first high school in Orange county when an attempt to establish one that would serve the whole county was defeated by petty jealousies between two sections of the county. As compared with that time when Santa Ana instituted the high school, the county, he said, now has four such schools on the west side of the river and three union high schools and one city high school on the east side. Pointing out that universities in the state are working toward a program of elimination of the first two years of university work, M.G.Jones, principal of the Huntington Beach high Suit was also filed for the same amount against the Southern County Bank, named in the suit as agent for the company.
