...INCOME STAGNANT. This classification includes Cambridge, Mass., McKeesport, Pa., Joliet, Ill., and Bell Gardens, Calif. Of the four types, it has the highest proportion of nonskilled and service workers-janitors, firemen, waiters, longshoremen, common laborers and the like-and the lowest proportion of commuters to the central city (34%).

...Democracy's College." In 1901, when University of Chicago President William Rainey Harper helped found Joliet Junior College, the nation's first public two-year college, he thought of it as a mere extension of high school: "Students should complete their basic education before coming to college." Now Edmund J. Gleazer Jr., executive director of the American Association of Junior Colleges, envisions "a new kind of college standing between the high school and the university-democracy's college of this century...
