tiring disposition is In strange con-
trast to bis shock of glowing red hair,
works as hard to make his section
good as any man on the regular staff.
Two studious shines: Die beiden
Herren von Johnson, or the two Mr.
Johnsons, just two years out of Ger-
many.
Interesting Item from a daily paper:
• Dr. H. IS. Stout, president of Texas
Women's College of Port Worth, re-
ported his school last year had ex-
perienced its best financial year in
the past seven years. HE REPORT-
ED A PROFIT OP 17000."
There Is a strange contrast between
education for profit and education at
Rice Institute. Pew students stop to
think that at some schools, in addi-
tion to the laboratory and registration
fees such as are charged at Rice,
there Is an additional item of some
two or three hundred dollars for tui-
tion. We get more for nothing here
than others get for money. Present
and future alumni might consider this
when asked to help the Alumni Asso-
ciation with Its various projects.
hi yives this as the object of higher) ——
filing iiiciiltics of our youth, Wtllarge j Be it said, in closing, that the per-

The telephone grows air-minded
*HE BELL SYSTEM has made many
successful experiments in two-way plane
to ground telephone communication. This
new development illustrates how it marches
a pace ahead of the new civilization. It is
now growing faster than ever before.
New telephone buildings are going up
this year in 200 cities. Many central office#
are changing from manual to dial tele-
phones. A vast program of cable construc-
tion is going on.
This is the period of growth, improve-
ment and adventure in the telephone
industry. Expenditures this year for new
plant and service improvements will total
more than five hundred and fifty million
dollars—one and one half times the entire
cost of the Panama Canal.
