As the major cost of advanced education, if the student is away from home, is board and
lodging one can argue that as far as possible the expansion of public
education beyond high
school should be arranged reasonably. Otherwise, in order to offer equal-opportunities we
should have to envisage using public funds to provide years of free board and room for a
considerable fraction of our high school graduates. But there are different types of professional
and vocational education which can be given at only a few centres in even a
very populous
state. It is literally impossible, for example, to give adequate instruction in clinical medicine
except in cities of sufficient size to support large hospitals. Similarly, advanced work in the
arts, sciences, and letters can be done only where adequate libraries and laboratories are at
hand. It is clearly in the national interest to find all the latent talent available for the lengthy
training that research centres at every point in the United States where general education
beyond the high school is desired would be not merely uneconomical, but impossible.
