...Moines (to postmasters): "Everything we do should be calculated to assist and encourage private enterprise." Crossing Missouri, Jim Farley listened closely to what people had to say about Democrat Lloyd C. Stark, fair-haired reform Governor. He was careful to avoid Boss Tom Pendergast of Kansas City, upon whom Governor Stark sicked Attorney-General Murphy and got him indicted (TIME, April 17). In Kansas, which went Republican last year, Jim Farley got right down to the grassroots, motored from Salina to Topeka with stops at a dozen towns. Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona were on his course, then California, where...
...Washington last week toward the New York World's Fair (thence to New England) rolled a roadshow long promised to stamp collectors by Jim Farley: a three-ton truck fitted up as a philatelic museum, displaying 535 varieties, representing every U.

...this is not a blanket condemnation of tutoring in toto; there are, according to the majority opinion, a variety of cases where tutoring is a fair and ethical expedient. For the lame, the halt, and the blind, it is quite proper. The man who has been sick and the "slow but honest" student have a clear right to extra guidance. So also the extra-curricular man who values his activities more than his academics. Nor should a student be denied tutoring as a supplement to the work he has done for himself. All but the most exceptional scholars need...
