Signal Service officers Confident, Of
the Practicability of Air ShiPs.
The officials Of the army signal service
have practically decided to build flying
machine. Its construction will probably
be under the supervision of Captain
Glassford, who, under Gen. Greedy, Chief
signal officer, has been carrying on ex'
tensive experiments In military ballooning
for the last three years. Captain Glass
ford is making preparations for an extern
sive exhibit, to be instituted in connection
with the Denver exposition, to open July
/, 1896. During the intervening year
every effort will be lent to the construc-
ton of an apparatus which may actually
carry a man. The mechanism to be used
is what is known as the soaring appara-
tus, the only kind of flying machine on
the aeroplane order which has actually
succeeded in transporting a man in free
air. Captain. Glassford is an enthusiast
both as to the future of his balloon ex.
periments and the accomplishment of me-
cnanical fight by means of the aero
plane.

Denver during the past week has been
filed with educators from all parts of the
country, who assembled by thousands to
attend the annual convention Of the Ma
tional Educational Association. 1t Is the
largest educational body in. the world. The
claim is also made that 1t 10 the most in
fluential body, not only because It IL the
largest body, but also because 1t IL differ
cntiated into so many specialties. There
are In the association thirteen depart
ments, each independent in itself, yet
forming part of the whole. The eonsti-
tuition provides for eleven departments
and National Council of Education. The
thirteenth department is found in the
Herbart Club. This is perhaps to be re-
garded more as a group than a depart
ment. 1t is an association of Herbartians
to whom philosophy is both food and
drink, and who take advantage Of the
association meetings for their gatherings,
making a very welcome accompaniment.

association are school superintendent.
