Flaying Maine for being miserly towards education he left for Michigan to try "on a very large scale the educational policies which the state of Maine has not yet been willing to adopt" (TIME, July 13, 1925). Michigan, he thought, was willing. Last week he had to admit that it was unwilling...
Secretary of the Treasury Andrew W. Mellon recently decided that air traffic from Canada, Mexico, the West Indies and elsewhere had become so heavy that customs men must be assigned to inspect the incoming planes.

Many blame France's static population on this, and the French Government has passed extremely strict laws against spreading birth control information, but France has no higher birth rate than England whose population increases...
Harvard invests today in a $13,000,000 experiment to gain the advantages of the small college. Middlebury has been successfully investing in the same thing for over 128 years, only on a different scale.
