Stiff Schools

Sirs:

I wish to challenge the reference to Massachusetts Institute of Technology under "Education" (TIME, Aug. 26) as "the stiffest U. S. school."

As a graduate of the Colorado Schol of Mines, a leading U. S. institution in its field, I should like to call your attention to its four-year curriculum leading to the degree of mining, petroleum, or metallurgical engineer, fully as exacting as any engineering course offered at M. I. T. Other "stiff" U. S. institutions are Case School of Applied Science, the Schools of Mines of Columbia, Missouri, Michigan, and Stanford, the engineering schools of many universities.

Nie Mehr Krieg

Sirs:

TIME reported interestingly on the Boy Scout Convention in England, but failed to report — or did I fail to see such report? — on a larger and possibly more important meeting of young people, which occurred the second week of July in Vienna. Young workers of both sexes from many countries, 50,000 strong, met to demonstrate for world peace, for friendship among peoples, their slogan "Nie Mehr Krieg" (never more war). Taken in connection with the remark attributed to Ambassador Dawes, that war depends on the man in the street, this meeting of young socialists becomes truly significant.

An enthusiastic account of this international meeting appears in "Vorwaarts" Aug. 3, 1929 — a Socialist paper published in Milwaukee, Wis.

Fifth Leg?

Sirs:

Speaking about "table of contents." Why not cut it out? No intelligent person would pass up anything printed in TIME. It is one-two-five three legs — down kick the it line out — with serves me. no The purpose — "table" has wastes time and space in your valuable mag.
