THE KIND OF TOWN YOU LIKE
Something like a decade ago the
idea took hold all over the country
that aspiring towns should advertise.
So universally board of commerce
and citizens’ committees and town
councils began to think up slogans
and the world was exhorted to
“Watch Winkville Win,” and “Boost
for Bingtown.”
For a long time the making of the
slogan seemed to be about all that
was done in these local advertising
enterprises. It never seemed to oc
cur to anybody that people don’t
rush to a town and plead to be per
mitted to stop there because of its
slogan. Many of the places having
the most enticing slogans also had
the most wretched hotel accommo
ditions. It was the common remark
among those who attempted to drive
an automobile thru the country that
the improved roads of the township
were vastly safer and better than
the main streets of the villages. These
were frequently left so full of holes
and ruts and so cut up with ele
vated crosswalks that to drive a mo
torcar over them faster than 10
miles an hour was perilous perform
ance. Nevertheless at the entrance
to nearly every village was the hos
tile warning that anyone driving fas
ter than a certain speed would be
prosecuted to the full extent of the
law. And village constables and jus
tices of the peace were frequently in
a league of watchful waiting to make
good the threat.
All this has changed now. A new
spirit of hospitality is spreading.
Nearly every town and village likes
to be known for its courtesy to tour
ists. Pavements are of the best, if
there are pavements. Signs at the
city limits welcome the stranger and
bint without offense that his self-re
straint in observing the local speed
regulations will be appreciated. The
slogan is not necessary in such towns.
The stranger not only watches but
wishes the growth of a community
in which he has been so kindly
treated.
YOUNGER COLLEGE HEADS
The election of a president by a
university is not commonplace, and
wiieu three large American universi
ties choose new presidents within a
'lew weeks of each other it is an
event of more than passing moment.
And the event assumes added signi
ficance from the fact that all three
of these university heads are under
50 years of age and two are under
40.
Those here referred to are Glenn
Frank, elected president of Wiscon
sin University; Dr. Clarence C. Lit
tle, president-elect of Michigan Uni
versity, and Dr. Max Mason, new
president of the University of Chi
cago. The former is 38 years old,
i Dr. Little is 37 and Dr. Mason is 48.
These men are not the first to be
made presidents of educational in
stitutions before they have passed
the half-century mark, although they
I belong to a minority. If there is
| a trend toward placing younger men
j in the administrative offices of the
i institutions of higher learning it has j
only recently gained momentum.
There may have been a time when
none acquired leadership in the fields
of education, thought and science
until well past the two score and
ten mark. If there was, it is no
more. None will doubt the leader
ship of the presidents of the uni
versities of Michigan, Wisconsin and
Chicago and all are still in splen
did prime of life.
Perhaps those in control of Amer
ican educational institutions have
just made the discovery that men
still in the full vigor of life are best
qualified to administer education to
young men and women.
FAST AGE; MORE YEARS.
—
Reflecting on the fastness with
which time flies, and particularly on
the sunset slope of life, there has
been plenty of comfort in the last
few years in the reports of new
marks in longevity. Centenarians
have become comparatively common
and men of 50 are spoken of as
young. Now comes an officer of
the American Insurance Union with
the statement that the span of hu
man life has been lengthened four
years in the last quarter century,
and that within another generation
“the allotted three-score years and

ten will be a thing of the past.” And
this inspite of the entra hazards
which have come with twentieth cen
tury progress!
There need be no surprise in it.
The fastness principally is in ma
chinery; instead of suffering from
the wear and tear of it, humanity,
lolling in the parlor cars on floating
palaces setting new speed marks,
tends rather to indolence. Advances
in the science of guarding health now
effect rescues where formerly death
was regarded as certain. At no time
did ananhood ever show greater har
diness than in the World war. An
increase in longevity is to be expect
ed naturally.
Besides, the people of the future
may look back upon our age as slow
just as we do upon the period of only
half a century back. .
