STILL ANOTHER,

A German who Is now Il resident OF
the United States thinks he has In
vented the "jim dandy flying machine
at last. He AYERS that It win fly at
least three thousand miles and carry
as many as two hundred passengers-
and he wants to sell II to Uncle Sam.
He asks one million and a quarter Am
erican dollars for It. of which he is tc
expend six hundred thousand in build
ing and proving his machine; the
rest is to go into his own pocket.
Pretty high figures. we should say.
Six hundred thousand dollars for the
construction Of one flying machine
looks like going up into the air. for a
fact, and the remaining six hundred
and fifty thousand would give him a
good nest-egg for the future. The
Chattanooga Times Is rather inclined
TO favor the project OF the German,
and the plan Of government assistance.

full that successful airships would not
be rewarded. The man who invents
and builds an airship that win travel
5000 or even 900 miles at a clip and
carry even as many as twenty-fiv
passengers safely wouldn't have to
wait many minutes, and he would get
as many millions as minutes he would
have TO wait.
Such lie the state Of tina public
mind on the subject OF aerial naviga-

show that the ordinary course Of study
IL sineuiariy deficient In teaohfng the
pupils to think. Many persons learn
through their muscles more readily
and easily than through abstract mem
tai application. For such pupils the
manual courses must be Of very great
benent. The balance between head
training and hand training for our
children was lost when the opportuni-
ties for hand training. which came
from outside the schools, were reduced
almost to the point Of disappearance.
We shall not get efficient and capable
men and women until that balance 10
restored. and the most practical neld
Of Its restoration seems to, he through
the manual work in the public schools"
All this is true. and II does not tell
all that may we'll be said on the sub
ject.
In former days, as all older readers
well know. no thought was given to
the subject of hand training In any
of the common schools of the country.
The time and attention was all devot-
ed to the task of educating the head
but no thought was given to educat-
ing the hands. The consequences was
that the boy who went out with what
was called a finished education knew
nothing OF mechanical. engineering or
constructive work. and II 1t fell to his
lot to engage in such occupation he
had to learn all about It after he quit
school,
Many of us. know, from observation,
IL not from experience. the disadvant-
ages under which the young man la
bored IL he had to work for living In
after life. If he desired to enter into
any mechanical business whatever he
had to learn the use Of tools at the
start; to begin at the beginning and
how to use them. A fair degree OF
hand training while at school would
have given him a start in HE trade
which would have been Of Immense
advantage in after life. and would
have saved him much loss Of time to
say nothing Of the loss OF wages whi'e
learning his trade.
And the same reasoning applies to
the man who adopts farming ss his
occupation. The farmer is often far
removed from q shop where he can
have his work done. or from me-
chanic who can do 1t for him. In
many cases he Is unable to make
piow-stock, a wheel-barrow, a bee
gum, or anything else needed on his
farm, and would as soon think OF
building an ark as trying to con-
struct any article OF household futni-
ture. with proper mechanical train
ing in the schools, and with few
tools, he would be Independent and
seif-reliant. and would not find him
self handicapped by his ignorance of
the use of tools In short. the young
man who adopts any kind of labor.
mechanical. engineering. agricultural
or anything else that requires the use
of the hands, will be the better II his
hands have been trained in schoo' to
the use Of tools.

: 40" party given on Friday afternoon
by Mrs. Jack Holiday to the Fort
nightly Club.
Chrysanthemums, the queen of au-
tumnal flowers, made gorgeous masses
of color in hall and front parlor,
while bridesmaid and Paul Neyron
roses adorned mantels and cabinets il
the rear parlor. Red shades on gas
jets and numerous red candies in crys-
tai and silver candelabra diffused
roseate glow most becoming to the
charming assembly of women.
In an alcove in the front hall the
punch table with its plateau of golden
chrysanthemums and asparagus ferns
was placed, and Mrs Henry Allen
served the delicious beverage. Ten ia
bles were used for 40" and other
games, and a sumptuous hot luncheon
with orange ice was served late in
the afternoon.

tainment of Friday is one of several
that will live in the memories Of her
