 While MT. Johnson has departed from the literary field in which he achieved fame, he is still keenIy interested in the welfare of American boys. He holds that the spirit of snobbery is gaining ground in American colleges, and that the suppression of snobbery and a return to educational democracy offers the biggest problem that now faces the heads of American institu- tions of learning. In the tale of Dink Stover's career s+ Yale he puts into the mouth of one of the characters:
 Our colleges are all turning into social clearing houses and every one is too absorbed in that expressing task to know what is going on outside: our universities are admirably organized instruments for the prevention of learning"

Mr.. BOURNE'S PLAN
TO RAISE ROAD FUNDS
Would Have Government Aid States
on Security of Their Own
Bonds.

Extensive road construction is not gen.
orally practicable without extensive
system of financing" said former Senator
Jonathan Bourne, jr, chairman of the
joint committee on federal aid in the con
Struction OF post roads, today. Ordinary
road revenues are barely sufficient TO Keep
the roads in repair after they have been
constructed For that reason permanent
improvements almost always require the
raising of funds by some form of indebt-
edneSs. This may be either by making
the cost OF the Improvement Il lien upon
the property benefited or BY the sale Of
bonds.
Where bond issues are found neces-
sary, it is. of course, desirable 70 secure
the lowest rate of interest practicable.
Ny plan for federal aid contemplates rals-
ing funds in the first instance by sale OF
federal :, per cent bonds and the loaning
of this money to the states on the secu-
rity of their 4 per cent bonds, the differ
ence in interest constituting a sinking
fund which, with compound interest
thereon at 4 per cent, would amount II

fifty years.
