...several months. The ship that Captain Bruce was in was out of regular production, fully licensed by the Department of Commerce. . . . Aviation needs all the help a publication like TIME can give it. C. T. HUTCHINS Manager, Advertising Department The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., Inc. Akron, Ohio. I find, on making a further check, that the regular Department of Commerce license has not been received but is expected shortly. The ship has met all the requirements of the Department of Commerce. The local Department of Commerce representative checked over this, flew it, tested it - -and, pending the arrival...

The great numbers and the differing abilities of those involved increases the trouble. No wonder that untried theory and visionary experiment find wider acceptance among the secondary schools than in the colleges. The teachers feel that there must be some golden way out, and they are willing to try anything that offers, even to searching about and finding something that the pupil will like rather than helping him to like what time...
