subject OF an address given. by Rev.
DR.. Thomas r. Shields before the Spe-
cial Child Club, at meeting held
Tuesday evening at 605 z street north
west.
"All children grow in mental power
through the use of their hands," said
DR.. Shields in speaking of the better
equipment or past generation train
ed to industry in a more primitive
home life. We are twenty years be-
hind in industrial schools. but il does
not do any harm to be a little behind.
We can profit by the mistakes Of Ger
many and England"
The cause Of the backward child was
in the primary grades the speaker
asserted. The fault lies in primary
grades" said DIR. Shields, by too much
stress on eye and ear training, and
insufficient development of other senses.
Sight and hearing are short cuts to
knowledge, and teachers take advan-
tage of the short cuts. regardless OF the
difference between looking on and
doing"

Four more days before the Easter Vaca-
ton begins, and fourteen more days ana
the Easter holidays will be thing OF the
ma st and books and lessons will be taken
up again.
Arbor day, spring gardening and nature
study work were given a boom by one or
two days that were really ''springlke."
1t is said that interest in nature work
has never before been so keen in the
schools as it is this year. What Is
thought to be one OF the best proofs OF
this is the fact that though 1t was not
compulsory for the children in the schools
to plant a tree Arbor day. actica!ly
every one did. In the Business High
School alone l.l40 trees were distributed.
Also, more than 10000 packages of
flower and vegetable seeds have been
planted.

Is still unnamed, the meeting Of the

The death Of former Supt. Wilson came
as a shock to many Of the teachers and

he was we'll known. Many expressions
Of regret for his death were given by the
officials and teachers.

west end. of the polo field. While the
wind was strong. it was steady. and
several flights were made, during which
the operator sent a number OF messages.
These were received plainly enough at
the flying machine tent and less plainly
at the laboratory of the War Department
on Pennsylvania avenue, between 18th
and 18th streets.
There was some trouble with the wire
less instrument. owing to the fact that
it was the first set Mr.. Berman had
ever designed for flying machine and
the jar Of the engine interfered with
some Of the connections. This. he said,
was merely a mechanical trouble that
there were several different ways Of
obviating.
Highest Flight, Forty Feet.
The highest flight Of the machine while
sending was going on was about forty
feet. Janus then took the machine out
by himself to try a higher fight to see
whether a passenger could be taken up
under weather conditions prevailing. He
flew the length Of the field, but after he
had made about half a turn the wind
forced him down and on landing the
breeze made him collide with a tree
trunk, breaking the end of the lower
plane. This accident stopped flying for
the rest of the day, but it was said the
damage could be repaired in a few hours.

MESSAGES BY WIRELESS
FROM REX SMITH b|PlANE
Experiment Successful Until
Interrupted by Accident.
Benefit of Signal Corps.

Experiments with wireless telegraph
apparatus We're made for the Signal Corps
from the Rex Smith biplane yesterday
afternoon. Only a short time was con-
sumed, and the sending was stopped
owing to an accident to the machine, but
the wireless part of the experiment was
satisfactory so far as it went.
The wireless set had been made by the
Signal Corps for the machine. 1t was
intended to run it with a motor geared
to the engine, but there was delay in get
ting the gears for the motor and the Sig
nal Corps decided to use a small storage
battery instead.
Sending Apparatus Only.
The set on the machine was merely a
sending set with a wave length Of about
100 meters. There was an instrument for
receiving of about the same wave length
set at the flying machine tent at the foot
of 18th street. about a mile from where
the machine was flown.
The sending key was set on the side Of
the passengers seat on the right of the
operator. Antony Janus was the aviator
and handled the biplane. while Rufus
Berman of the Signal Corps was the
operator
The machine was started from the tent
at the foot of 18th street in the midst Of
a rather high wind. but Janus rose
from the north side of Potomac Park and
flew over the hurdles, alighting on the
