Curriculum. To prepare their students for Army & Navy commissions, colleges have introduced a host of new military and allied courses, among them: military geography (TIME, Jan. 19), map interpretation, chemistry of explosives, camouflage, electricity, radio, meteorology, aerial photography, navigation, military law, Japanese, Military German, Russian...

Such disbalances are mostly defects of organization, not materials, and are cured by experience. Output of air-cooled radial engines is now well ahead of schedule, and liquid-cooled production is stepping up fast...
