PUBLIC AIRsHIPs.

A company has been organized, and

actually works, 1t seems likely that
craft will move within fixed parallel

OF tho exigencies of local travel and

must everywhere be Instituted to rule
the operation of aerial conveyance, be-
sides which International agreements
must be made, as for the regulation OF
any traffic over highways Joining for

inevitable. and here the question, too
arises: how far up shall they reach-or
shall there be any limit to height? No
doubt the usaSes now prevalent with

THE CRITIQUE OF sUzzALLo.

The criticism of DIR. Suzzallos recent
address by DR.. ]. H. Paul of the State
University, opens the ever-pressing
question as to what subjects and by
what methods the schools can most
effectively teach.
Viewing DR.. Suzzallo's argument as
q whole, 1t is scholarly and plausible;
yet the contrast which he makes be-
tween educational subjects that deal
with material things and those that
deal with spiritual or human affairs. Is
not so convincing. as to the benefits
OF general culture, as is the remainder
of his argument. To the latter phase.

point out that the distinction urged by
the Doctor. though apparent enough, is
not necessarily well made. when ap-
piled TO subjects of instruction.

Old fashioned people have comforted
themselves with the reflection that In
spite of the overwhelming march OF
modern Ideas some few things yet re-
mained fixed and immovable. One OF
these they supposed to be the multipli-
cation table. Even this comforting reh-
ance is now denied them. Everything
else having been reformed by the mod
ern schoolmaster. the multiplication ta-
BILE itself is to be simplifled. and thus
better adapted to the Juvenile mind.
The ono great object nowadays Is to
make everything easy and pleasant for
the children. Whatever is difficult must
be cut out If they find twelve times
hard to learn. they must not be asked
TO learn It, When they consider all the
stumbling blocks that have been re-
moved from the path of the modern
child, the old-fashioned people must
often wonder at the achievements OF
their own childhood. But the modern
child has so many things to study-or
at least to be told about-of which his
parents never heard. that he really has
not time to learn all of anything. Even
the multiplication table must be cut
down to get it into the curriculum.

Many a Sood story, dealing with his

RADIO. was estcomed the most brilliant
orator of that body. But the anecdote,
hitherto unchroniclcd, | believe, that is
about to be related of him deals not
with his love of poker or politics, but
with far greater loye-that OF family.
Some time after he and his brother
Henry who ran unsucceSSfully on the
Republican ticket in 1898 for governor
of Colorado, had fought their way TO
afGuence in that state, the senator
wrote to his parents. who were then liv-
ing In Cleveland, o.. that he and Henry
were going to take them on brief visit
to the town of Long Meadow, Mass.
near Springfield. There the Wolcotts
had lived for a number of years While
the father struggled to make both ends
meet, and give his numerous children
good education at the same time as the
poorly paid pastor of the httie
CONGREGATIONAL church. But de-
spite all the hardships and self
sacrifices of that pastorate, 1t
had been both the fathers and
the mothers favorite. and so they were
delighted to accompany their sons back
TO the town of Long Meadow.
Arrived there the boys took their
father and mother first of all to the old
church Then, when they had fingered
there a little while. the senator asked /;
Father. do you remember that old
mansion within the park-land that you
used to admire so much when you lived
here?"
The eyes OF the godly old man glis-
tened at the fond recollection. Il have
never forgotten IT," he said.

A little later they stood before The
entrance to the place. The senator
turned to his father.
IT don't suppose there would be any
objection to our wandering through the
grounds?" he querled.
The old gentleman, with the love of
the place strong upon him. opened the
gate and walked in.
For a long while the little party
strolled through the grounds, the faith
er exclaiming toyfully every little while
at tho beauties of the place that had
fascinated him I'm the years that We're
gone. Finally, they arrived near to the
mansion itself.
II wonder IL they would let us look
