...radical change of method in policing the exams, but rather a sprucing up of the existing method. Consideration for others in not talking during the period, alertness in distributing blue books when they are called for, and uniform enforcement of the closing time, with adequate warning, would assure fairer treatment all around. Of course it is obvious that better cooperation from certain parts of the undergraduate body in stopping on time will have to be forthcoming, for the enforcement authorities have not been completely to blame in this.

TIME readers need have no fear of the treatment they will be given in Mississippi. We are building $42,000,000 worth of new highways to make it easier for them to travel in the State, and we are spending $100,000 for advertising, part of it in TIME, to invite them here.
