AFTER LONG FALL
Aviator GarrOs Undaunted
by Serious Mishap.

Memphis, Tenn, Dec 9.-Speetators
crowded into the Tri-State Fair grounds
were Mortified this afternoon to see Ro-
land S. Garros, flying a Bleriot mono
plane. suddenly careen while speeding
high above the earth, and tumble 10 the
ground with a crash
Hundreds rushed to the scene, but
found the plueky birdman up and unin-
jured other than a broken nose and cuts
about the face He remounted later on,
and was in the air when darkness fell.
The warping strap on the left wing of
the machine snapped. GarrOs heard il
and knew what it meant, He tried TO
control his monopIane, but was too late.
Moisant made one fight before Garros
met with the accident, and Immediately
following he rose again, closely followed
by Barrlo.
Hamilton furnished the fifth sensation,
rising high above the grounds and doing
stunts for ten minutes before alighting
Barrio followed Hamilton. announcing he
was going for an altitude record. He rose
to a height of about a mile.
If plans being promoted by the Illinois
Central Railroad are successful. the avn
atOrs will attempt a eross-country flight
from Memphis TO New Orleans, probably
at the end of the aviation meet here next
week

had never lived in cities. and even after
they came upon Roman soil, where the
municipal organization was very highly
developed, they We're slow TO take ad-
vantage of this higher grade Of living.
Adapting themselves TO these conditions,
the monks at once took the lead in agri-
culture and taught their crude neighbors
by their example the best means OF TIL
Ing the soil.
Then, again, as has been mentioned,
these monasteries, protected by their
sacred character against the violence OF
the time, began to be eenters of learning
The Teutonic people struggling to estab-
lish themselves on their newly acquired
domain had little time for and little need
OF learning the Roman had lost his taste
for study and the Teuton had not pro-
crossed sufficiently TO acquire that taste
II had thus come about that there was
no scholarship save such as was con-
served by the monks in the seclusicn OF
the monastery. There came time later
when kings began TO feel their thrones
secure. that they looked about them for
some one to teach their children the arts
which they coveted to add dignity TO
their reign. It was then that the monas-
teries began to offer their services as
teachers, and thus the great centers OF
learning began TO grow up around the
monastic orders.
II was about this time, when the mon
asteries began TO come In closer touch
with the reigning house and TO be able
to furnish them, something which they
valued highly. that great change came
over the routine life OF the monastery.
In many cases the VOWS OF poverty were
forgotten, and, profiting by the favor or
the great ones Of the world, the property
OF the orders increased greatly. AT the
same time many of the abbots. who were
men OF keen diseernment, began 10 take
active part in politics. and many of the
political questions of the day were dis
cussed in the secfusion OF the cloister
Luxury at once crept In where had
been the most abstemlous self-denial
The leisure OF the monks gave the oppor-
tunity TO cultivate art, and in some OF
the surviving monasteries of that period
are 10 be seen priceless treasures Of
wood carving, painting. and manuscript
illumination. In the sumptuous banquet
Ing halls princes and kings even were
frequent visitors, and the service and
Surroundings were in keeping with those
TO which the company was accustomed.

STEUBEN HONORED
IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Proposed by National Ger
man-American Alliance.

A well-timed appeal to the officials
and teachers of the public schools of
Washington comes from the National
German American Alliance to impress
upon the minds of the children of the
public schools the great debt that the
United States owes to the brave Ger
man American soldier. Baron Frederick
William Won Steuben. II is especially
desired in the communication that spe-
eial emphasis be laid upon the most
eminent services that he rendered TO
Gen. Washington and the American ma
tiOn for all time by converting the I'M
trained and almost demoralized Colonial
forces into well-trained soldiers at a
crisis in our affairs. It is pointed out
that but for the aid that this gallant
officer rendered at that time American
history might have been written very
differently.
The occasion OF the unwilling OF the
national tribute To Won Steuben on
Wednesday next. il is urged. should be
the most OppOrtune time 10 bring 10
the attention of school children a sense
of the greatness of the man and of the
eminent part that he played as inspec-
lof general u the OOlOnldE FORCES. 10
which Office he was appointed by Gen.
Washington.
The claim is justly made that among
the many conspicuous actors in that
great struggle for freedom Won Steuben
should rank In gratitude and appreciation
only below Washington and Franklin.
1t is such an incident as the approach
ing dedication that serves to impress his
torical persOnages and events with indeli-
bic clearness upon the pupils minds.
II is to be hoped that the pubic schools
may take some part in the ceremonies
that will serve TO bear testimony of the
fact that the great men OF the nation are
gratefully remembered. DR.. c. j. Hexa-
mer. the president: Adolph Timm. the
secretary. and DIT. w Fritsch. chairman
