BY Albert H. Munday. Illustrated.
Harper Brothers, publishers, Frank
lin Square. New York.
Flight Lieut.. Albert II. Munday has
added his experiences as a member
OF the royal naval air service to the
knowledge cleaned from the govern
mental textbooks used in instruction
camps. Practical. sensible and terse,
his extraordinarily valuable hints to
beginners are clearly illustrated by
diagrams, photographs and useful
tables.
The intricate problems of stunt fly
ing, night flying, airplane wireless,
airplane photography, bomb dropping,
aerial fighting, are but few of the
subjects he has explained and sim
plifled.

the same lobby effects which con-
trolled appropriations in the past
Heads of the state schools, as well
as thousands of friends of the big edu-
cational institutions. believed adoption
of the constitutional amendment would
forever end their troubles. They

heads could stay at home and tell the

quite certain that little trouble is nee
essary to stir up the old time row con-
corning funds for the state schools.
Under the law direct appropriations
may be made by the legislature. The
law making body, however. may fix a
levy for the support of the schools.
Yet this levy is subject to change by
the succeeding legislature and the bud
gets may meet the troubles which en-
