by former student bodies. As com
pared with last year thei’e is little
difference, since two hundred and
seventy-five messages, in. keeping
with the day, wei'e mailed in 1929.
Further proof that few of these
messages went home is noted in the
fact that only one hundred and sev
enty-six telegrams were sent on
Mothers Day. Facts secured from the
two most popular “filling stations’’
on the campus reveal, that of the
five hundred and fifty sweetheart
boxes mailed, approximately four
hundred and seventy five were ad
dressed to Miss—.
Yeah, Elmer, some hard-hearted
corps in Aggieland.

Baker Approves
Low Percentage
In his annual report, President
Thomas S. Baker greets with satis-
faction the report that the percent
age of increase in the total enroll
ment in American colleges is less
now than in recent years.
“The rapid expansion of the Amer
ican universities after the war has
not been an unmixed blessing to
the intellectual life of our country,”
President Baker said.
“It has not been possible to se
cure a sufficient number of well-
trained and inspiring teachers to di-
icct the flood of young people who
have been pressing for admission
to college.”

Removing mental barriers
In the Bell Telephone System men are
constantly studying new ways to make the
customer’s dealings with the company
easy and pleasant. The new “counter
less” idea, now being introduced in the
telephone company’s business offices, is a
case in point.
Here the customer is placed at once on
a friendly .personal basis with the company
representative. He is invited to sit down
comfortably and discuss his business. Cer
tainly more satisfactory than standing at a
counter.
This single instance represents a point
of view which telephone men think is im
portant. Telephone service calls for engi
neering skill and more—it needs human
understanding.
