A brief history of the two-yearcollege movement in general, and in Maine in particular, is followed by descriptions of three area surveys. The High. School Survey of 2,246 junior and senior year students at seven local highschools found that 45 percent of the 1,486 students intending tocontinue education beyond high school would prefer to attend a low-cost local two-year college if one were available. Thirty-nine percent of the 662 students not intending to continue beyond high school indicatedthey would change their minds about continuing their schoolingif a low-cost local community college were available. TheIndustrial Survey of 23 local businesses and industriesfound that approximately 10 percent of those presently employed neededtheir skills upgraded and that between 1972 and 1975 an additional 4,356employees will be needed to fill anticipated vacancies and new positions. TheModel Cities Survey found that higher wages and more jobs werethe most important factors needed to improve area living conditions.Community suggestions and present area educational opportunities wererecorded, and a report of existing and needed facilities,along with a report of potential building costs, is included.

The first, Franco-American Origins, em­ phasizes one of Lewiston's outstanding characteristics, its Franco­ American heritage. The second, A Textile City in Transition, relates the change from an agricultural community to a company mill town and the recent transition to a diversified economy. In all three there is extensive use of unpublished material to which local residents and especially students do not have easy access. The authors are grateful for the assistance of all members of the Historical Commission who offered information and constructive criticism during the four years of preparation, to the staff of the Lewiston Public Library, to mayors and their relatives who granted interviews and to the Lewiston city government for its financial assistance. /., ~" //J · ,/ LP .f'ha;zr~ !KJ-. </' _j . , .:J/ 9/a/c. j ~ ~Fiavnv.
