MAN WHO LANDED IN THE PARK
He Submits Some Airy Persiflage in
Support of Risking Lives.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir | have read your remarks regard
ing my recent landing in Central Park
and as a result | am greatly impressed.
! was unaware that editors were such Il
versatile body Of men as 10 be qualified
TO tell aviators where and how TO fly.
TO tell such able jurists as Magistrate
McQuade how TO render justice, and 10
issue advance opinions Of what the Aero
Club OF America ought TO do in this and
similar cases. Truly. should editing be-
come profitable those who do it will nave
an unlimited field to choose from.
In the first place, let me say that | had
both rivers to land in. and that | picked
the park only as an alternative TO losing
a 5000 aeroplane and possibly my lie.
Had there been the slightest danger Of
injurins anybody in the park | would
have cheerfully headed for the river.
Perhaps some OF your readers will recall
a certain Sunday at Hampstead Plains,
where much graver risks were run, not
only with my own but with my pas
senger's life. to avoid hitting some Curl
osity seekers who had strayed on the
neld. The river would have been easy
compared TO what might have happened
that day.
Another thing: | was not arrested for
trespass. as you evidently think. You say
that Magistrate McQuade should have
employed the law pertaining to 'mussng
up the park lawns" las you define it, To
punish me as warning to other pilots.
Had you read the press and court reports
OF the affair before launching your stock
of unfortunate transformation you would
be aware of the fact that violating the
lawns was exactly what | was arrested
for and that because no damage was
done / was Immediately discharged by
Magistrate McQuade. AS the complaint
clerk remarked. even If the grass mad
been damaged he considered mans life
to be worth more than grass. Apparently
your respective opinions differ.
One more point: II my disregard for
human life Is as great as you would
have your readers understand. what do
YOU suppose prompted me to 20 some
miles out OF my way to avoid passing
over Brooklyn on my way TO staten

Not Ready for Self-Govcrnment.

According to Manila dispatches there has been an
alarming increase in shortages in insular accounts
since Governor General Harrison put into effect
the new policy Of replacing Ar 'rican officials with
natives. Here are two items in a cable dispatch
dated last Saturday:
The auditors department to-day reported three
cases Of shortages aggregating 23ovO pesos

The American inspector in the province Of Pang-

Bryan Harrison theory Of native readiness for self

death penalty for murder are In direct

. Floating Palaces for River

A new all-steel constructed. abso- lutely freproof and nonsinkable side wheel steamer, costing about s100, 900 Will be built by the Lee line, accord ing to announcement by officials of that company in Memphis.
 There is possible chance that the new boat will be named the Robert E. Lee,' and that every effort will be made to make her one of the finest and fastest steamers on the Mississippi
 She will be placed in the Memphis and Ashport trade in order that the cotton business can be handled to better ad- vantage, says the Memphis News Scim- itar.
 One thing the company proposes, and that Is to revive elegance and beauty in her cabin. She will have q bridal chamber. something steamers abolished a quarter of a century ago. Her smokestacks will be tall and decor ated on the top by oak leaves. She will have the most modern engines known to river traffic and powerful enough to make not less than 15 miles an hour upstream and from IS to 20 miles an hour down stream.
 A contract for new stern wheel all- steel constructed steamer has been let. She will be about the size of the Harry Lee.and will be model of shipbuild- irg industry Her hull will be con- structed in St. Louis. and when launched will be brought to Memphis to receive the finishing touches.
 Officers say the engines of the Harry Lee will ke used on this new boat. and after coml letion she will be placed in some short line packet trade.
 Contract for this steamer calls for an expenditure of about eS0.000

arship is valued as 1t is transmitted to the toilng masses to tighten their labor, to bring to them richer returns for their toll, that they, and not alone the schol- ars in academic halls. may know the truth that makes men free. This new con ception of education necessitates a new conception of the state, as an organiza- tion of society designed to increase the ef- fcency as well the happiness of all the people. and to bring the best that is known and thought in the world into the lives of the humblest citizens
 It is a far cry from the University of Athens to the University of Wisconsin The former nourished only those who sat at it's tables; the latter sends forth nour- ishment to every farm and fireside in a great and free commonwealth. This new conception of education regards 1t as process continuous with human life be- ginning at the cradle and extending be- yond the grave. All the people are pupils in this school of democracy, and the mod ern state is the teacher. However humble and obscure the station of the lowliest citizen, his life and welfare are vital con- cerns to the state. In former times only the so-called learned professions were comprehended by the state in its system of education; today the nations of the fu- ture give an equal concern to industrial and vocational education; today the na- tfons of the future give equal concern to industrial and vocational education, fit- ting all the people for efficient service to their fellows. As education and the state nave thus acquired a new meaning, the teachers have come out from cloistered halls and gone into rural districts to carry the school to the homes and farms of the people. Thus the state not only goes to school but stays In school making it's very life source of education, and by a wide training elevating and transforming that life. Germany offers the best exam pie Of this new order of things. Vocation al education and continuation schools have there reached the highest development Certain American commonwealths are Germany's example, and education is be- coming the chief concern of the modern state.
 The day Is not distant when all our com monwealths will regard education as the chier function of the state. and will ex- tend It's benificent influences to every calling. and bring It's transforming power into the life of every child and citizen
