German AeroplGne Chased
in Darkness by Belgians
Special to The TELEGRAPH

London, Aug. 14.-Martin H. Dono-
hoe, special correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle, in a dispatch from
Brussels tells of an exciting aeroplane
chase over the River Meuse. "Brus-
sels," he says anticipates big hap
pennings in a few days"
Mr.. Donohoe's dispatch read:
II witnessed an exciting aeroplane
chaos this evening close to Namur. A
German aeroplane, which had three
days persistently reconnoitered over
the Belgian position, was observed
lowering over an important fortified
position on the banks of the River
Meuse. Two Belgium biaplanes inn
mediately gave chase to the Kaiser's
aerial scout, who. when finding that
he was being pursued. turned and

would be pleased to tell you about
more of the old school buildings of
Harrisburg forty years ago, and to
whom credit is due that they have
peen replaced by structures that are

would love to tell you of men
from humble walks of life, shopmen,
and carpenters, and ironworkers, who
came into Harrisburgs Board of
School Control, served their constitu-
ents intelligently and we'll for many
years without one penny of compen-
sation, did justly advance the cause of
education, and finally after many
years of service, retired to private life
with no taint of corruption upon
their records | would love to tell
you of the contributions which the
medical and allied professions have
made to our school board
l would love to take you into the
inner school life of some of the noble
men and women with whom l was in
timately associated in Harrisburg S
educational work. and tell you of their
discouragements, of the difficulties
with which they contended and which
they surmounted-to show you the
actual school life of the past, not as il
appeared to the casual glance of the
outside world, but as it was in all the
intensity of its trials and its triumphs
The Old and the New
Have matters scholastic reached
perfection? Hardly. Perfection is an
elusive term when applied to aught
that is bounded by finite ability and
finite intellect. There have been vast
changes in forty years. Have there
been improvements? Yes: emphati-
cally, yes, improvements, vast inn
provements. Have all changes been
Improvements? No: emphatically, no

ture will supply their place in the
stern battle of life.
1t may be possible that modern edu-
cational methods, with all their i'm
provements. may be coated, occasion
ally, with a gaudy tinsel that conceals
defective foundation in those things
that are essential to all true educa-
ton. Costly buildings, expensive ap-
paratus cannot produce results unless
supplemented by brains, study and
application There is no royal road to
learning. 1t is the same route for
peer or peasant, and he will win, who
works.
Do modern methods ever permit
pupils to pass from grade to grade
with whom spelling has become one
of the lost arts?" Do we not some
times have boys and girls who are
prodegies in a smattering of various
languages and numerous sciences, but
who are lamentably deficient in the
fundamental facts of United States
history: To whom this mighty conti-
nent is a terra incognita as far as ac-
curate geographical knowledge is con-
cerned?
Harrisburg has done well, nobly
along every line of educational ad-
vancement. Our city occupies COM
manding position as to its schools
We have many-very many improve
ments that were not even dreamed OF
forty years ago in the most enthusias-
tic vision of the most devoted friend
of the schools. Some of these I hope
to outline in some future series. Let
the motto still be Excelsior" If there
be single weak point let it be elimi-
mated in the same way that difficulty
after difficulty of the past has been
overcome.

All these eccentricities of form and
growth have arisen from the needs of
the industries that have built up the
suburbs. If you will look at the Gu
rious outline pictures here of the ex-
traordinary forms assumed by some
twenty-five German cities with their
suburbs you will perceive what diff
ferent thing the city Of today is from
that of former times.
In Olden days cities we're compact,
and rounded in outline, for reader de-
Tense against enemies, and for easier
communication within their walls.
Now they spread into the most as

instance, resembling some long-legged
animal; or Leipzig, Breslau and Stat
tin, with their curious projecting arms,
like the tentacles of growing snails.

Following the example of New York
the great cities of Europe are begin
ming to combine their envirOning
towns and villages under a single m,i-
nlcipal head. Thus Greater Berlin has
sprung into existence within a short
time past. and astonished Europe by
showing a census population of BAH
700 souls, and taking third place
among the worlds cities.
Now Paris, finding herself out
ranked on the census list by her Ger
man rival, is preparing to step up
into her proper place among the SUI
per-cities by including all her sub
urbs within her municipal boundaries,
which would give her population of
more than 4,150,000.
They call NJ Delaney, the Project
of the Seine. who has worked out the
details of the scheme, the Second

'Grand Paris soon to be- His plan
would, at one stroke, increase the area
Of the French metropolis from 10000
acres to 10000. and instead Of in
Guiding one bend of the crooked river
Seine within it's boundaries it would
include half dozen.
But the thing that interests the
foreign observer most in this magnifi-
cation Of Paris. is the magnificent
scale on which vast parks, public gar
dens and breathing places of the peo-
pie are provided in NJ. Delaney

as much space laid out in gardens,
