Under the Throne of The Car
BY Joe G. McSarren

BY Joe G. McSArfen
Old forms of government have given
place to tue new. As people have ad-
vanced through Christianity and Edu-
cation kingdoms have passed to Con-
stitutional Monarchies and Republics.
England, Spain, Germany, even Turkey
and Italy have become Constitutional
Monarchies. Many South American
countries, Switzerland, France and the
United States are Republics. but Rus
sia remains practically an absolute
Monarchy-a despotism.
In a country reaching the far north
almost to the torrid zone and one third
around the world, embracing one-sixth
of the land surface, lives Russia's
one hundred and sixty millions. ruled
by an absolute Monarch in whom is
vested legislative, executive and judi
cial power. The Douma, representa-
tive of the largest cities, owes its elec-
ton to property owners who have the
right of suffrage. Constantly under
the supervision of the Gar, the Douma
executes his dictated wishes or dis
bands under his right of dismissal, only
to be formed again for the farce of
representation.

Manual Arts and Agriculture in
cur Sedgwick County Schools

Before maunal arts and agriculture
can be of the greatest service, we
must have schools that recognize and
Use Z course adapted to the needs of
modern s6ctety. 3ney must lead both
collegeward and lifeward. The boy
and girl for whom the college door never
inward swings must be provided for
as well as the child whose parents are
financially qualified to continue his ed
ucation in higher institutions of learn
ing. All subjects from the Kinder
garten to the University are presented
to youths because of the present and
past demands of society. Civilization
must hold to the past because slow
elimination is constantly dropping off
while assimilation is slowly changing
the old with new structures.
Here is the field for the great ed
ucational leaders. Thoughtful teach
ers and members of professions other
than teaching, and superintendent feel
the need of change in our conrse of
study SO as to include Manual Arts and
Agriculture.
The greatest demands now upon our
public school teachers are directing and
working with patrons and pupils in
interpreting these educational move
ments of the present time in way
that our boys and girls will enter lifes
work with a maximum preparation.
These duties are not, nor never can be,
defined by statute.
Here enters the personality of pat
rons and teachers. All the patrons in
Sedgwick county and all of the differ
ent school directors have done and are
doing everything that will be advan-
tageous for our school system. May we
all stand for the best, for the better
courses, for new ideas, for everything
that will help to make SedgwickC County
Schools the best in the state.
E. w. Babcock,
County Superintendent of Schools.

President himself was member of the
Dutch Reformed. President Taft is a
Unitarian. No faith is prescribed,
no unfaith penalized. An agnostic or
m atheist has the same right and
privileges as any other man. opinions
are not always admired, but every man
is entitled to form his own.
Fair play today gives the Indians
citizenship, is providing the negro
better and better opportunities for self
development, is receiving almost all
races as members of our American
family. The spirit of fair play has
some problems yet to solve, but in
America today there is more plain
human kindness, friendliness. hospital
ity and cordial feeling than any where
else in the world.
Finally perhaps, The Spirit of Amer
lea Is best shown in her literature.
The shrewd and genial Franklin will
find readers after many present day
writers are forgotten. High School
students will always like to read hum
orous Irving, adventurous Cooper and
neglected Poe. Mark Twain and
Howells have an international reputa-
ti0n. Rhodes, Fiske and McMaster.
Our sympathies for the south are
asoused by Gable, Allen and Page.
Hawthorne, Emerson, Lcngfellow,
Whittier, Holmes and Lowell form a
group unexcelled as yet in America.
Markham sings the sorg of labor,
Riley is entertaining to old and young
and Whitman's audience is growing
The sentiment of humanity underlies
all our literature. the plain people
furnish subjects for many of our
writer's. High-life novels are gener-
ally satirical. The hero is seldom rich,
the william seldom poor. The humane
sentiment has impressed upon our lit
erature the stamp of moral purpose,
the wish to elevate, to purify, to
fortify the minds and the lives of those
who read. Surely American literature
has done much to perpetuate the
Spirit of America.

ADVENTURES y
0a<z4zz1 j. ARMSTRONG DRExEL
VI.-When a Man Takes to Flying

a circle to the left, and almost before
I knew it l was back at my starting
place and had stopped the engine.
Then Grahame- White explained to
me that a Bleriot always has a tend
ency. to steer to the left when it is
running along the ground. This is due
to the downward thrust Of the propel-
ler and the greater effect of the air
pressure on one side than another.
After being instructed to steer with
my foot lever until got going at full
speed l started off again. This time
at the first sign of pull toward the
left l thrust out my right foot and
headed her the other way. Once more
l had to do this. and then l attained
full speed and was able to keep on in
a straight line down the course.
Feeling with the utmost confidence
that the tying of the wheel would
make it impossible for me to rise from
the ground, had not the slightest
nervousness as to the outcome of my
journey, and l thoroughly enjoyed my
dash down that mile of level earth at
a rate of about thirty or thirty five
miles an hour. But again was des-
tined to great surprise-a surprise
Morris tribune., 1911-10-06

! that taught me to fly much as one
! teaches a boy to swim by throwing
him in the water and letting him
! strike out for himself.
I Find Myself In the Air.
At the end Of the mile straight away
on the course was road crossing the
! field at right angles and at an eleva,
ton of several feet above the rest of
; the ground Without thinking much
about this road and feeling perhaps
that so slight and so gradual an EN-
bankment was not serious obstacle,
I went dashing merrily on and up the
slope toward the highway.
A few minutes later my utter as
tonishment may be imagined when |
| suddenly realized that I was not upon
| the ground at all, but was sailing
gracefully through the air at height
of about eighty feet above the earth.
The explanation is simple enough to
me now. When the front of my ma
chine took the slope of the embank
ment it rose until the slant of my
planes was exactly what was neces
sary for the impact Of the air to get
under them and give the required
lifting power for the machine to fly
In other words, the embankment did
for me what l might have done for
myself had my wheel not been tied
and it sent my machine upward into
the air as gracefully and as easily
as though it had been nnrposely operat
ed for that result by the most skilled
aviator
For the first few minutes my aston
ishment was so great that l did abso-
lutely nothing but sit motionless and
let the Bleriot take it's course. Then
/ pulled myself together and tried TO
remember everything that Grahame
White had told me about how to man
age the machine.
My one thought was to get back to
my starting point, for by this time !
had gone beyond the smooth fields and
was flying over rough and dangerous
ground that would have meant instant
disaster had I landed upon it. So. in
order to turn, trust my left foot
gently forward, and l shall never for
get my thrill Of triumph as | found
the Bleriot gradually sweeping abou;
in wide and easy circle to the left
that soon brought me again back to
the smooth fields and facing toward
the direction from which had come.
An Unexpected Disaster.
AS | approached nv starting nlsce |
showed my wheel gently forward, as I
