Yale university professors formed a committee to study

It is said that the professors themselves are largely to blame

whenever a university's endowment or income is increased,
the number of professors is increased. As a result, the extra I'

HOW AVIATION IS GROWING C j
The aviation business may in the near future take rank
with the giants of American industry. Its growth during
the past half decade has been amazing; production schedules
of manufacturers are advancing so rapidly that the volume
of business which will bo reached a few years from now can
! only be guessed. ' ?
In 1928 American manufacturers sold slightly more than
; ; 4000 planes with a total market value of $75,000,000.' During
uie pi-esent year, according to a survey made by the Aeronau
1 tical Chnmlwr of Cohimei-cc, production will le between 10,-
000 and 12,000 planes, valued at over $100,000,000.
; Yet that tells only part of tho story. In 1921, the year
in which the chamber, was organized, there Was only $5,000,-
000 invested in. the'airplane business in this country. The
, few plants that existed managed to keep going chiefly by
' virtue of government contracts, and large-scale production
' for commercial purposes seemed very remote. '
It was not until 1921, when day and niirht transcontinon-
t..i airmail service was started, that the industry began to;
pick up. iy jujf the industry's total commercial sales were
f a mile better than ?:.0i0,00), with military sales swelling
' " the total to around $20,000,000. '
The pick-up experienced in 1928, which apparently is go
ing to go ahead at an even faster rate this year, however,
is the first real "boom" that the industry has felt. The
chamber's survey reports jubilantly:
"Additional capital appears to lc available as needed. The
requirement for more schools in which to train piano pur
chasers to fly is iK'iiip; mot. The shipments of airmail and
package freight mount each month. Operators of air trans
port lines reiHirt such increasing patronage as to warrant
extensions and more frequent service."
We are beginning, at last, to reap the full benefit of the
i ocean flights of tho past two yoai-s. They maue the nation
I "air minded" and proved the airplane's possibilities. America
i is sprouting winrs as a result.

But that wouldn't be kind and it wouldn't
