Community Colleges see demand as the Headline in the METRO section:

"The Future of Community Colleges" published by the Congressional Record,July 18, 1974 with a vision for the 21st century from the 20th century publication.

The Obama administration is promising to help 1,200+ community colleges, which educate about 12 million students, or 44% of all undergraduates, including the majority of blacks and Hispanics, and Asians. White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel recently said that the administration was working on a plan that would allow as many as 5 million more students or laid-off workers to attend the schools, which are at the fore of retraining efforts.

Editorial: "Teachers are the single most critical factor in improving student achievement, it is time to start drawing distinctions in how they are retained, promoted and rewarded."

As a teacher since 1945, I fully support such rationale as a former Fulbright Senior Scholar in Hong Kong,1989-1990. I shall continue my efforts to teach students who have achieved distinction with their talents at www.Dictyon.net,the gateway to global languages.

Moreover, the following works are dedicated to stress the role of community colleges:

1. Keys for Economic Understanding(1971) www.Amazon.com book catalog. The theme is to emphasize training and retraining.
2. Keys to Economic Understanding(1976) www.ask.com for reference.
3. Work and Study Cycle Theory (1978) to be validated and implemented in the USA or China to enhance productivity for economic development.
