The Aerial Packhorse.

What is a packhorse?" asked some
one in the party.
So that the airman explained the ne"
grouping of aeroplanes When the sci
ence of fighting by air was still IN It's
infancy the aeroplanes were sent away
on bombing trips carrying insignificant
little bombs. Hen egg size. the fler
said. Most of them weighed about four
pounds. Few rose TO twelve. AS the
aeroplane began to rise in efficiency 1t
began to carry an observer. By and by
machine guns were mounted on it
Then the size of bombs began to in
crease. Many aeroplane bombs nova
days weigh 100 pounds. Some Of the
Zeppelin bombs weigh $50 pounds.
Then some one had an idea. The OBJ
server and the machine gun are of no
real value on those bombing trips. The
driver can do all the observing needed.
BY craning his head over the side of
the car he can see the little points of
fame spring UP in the gray of the
morning far below. 1t is far better to
leave the observer and the gun at home
and carry their weight in bombs. An
average packhorse carries eight bombs
nowadays They may average twenty
five pounds each. 1t depends on condi-
tions and the ideas of the new bomb
maker and to some extent on the idio-
syncrasies of the man in command of
the flyinP park

A Model Post Office.

The Grand Central post office, recent
ly opened in New York. combines all
the latest devices for the rapid and ef-
ficient handling of mail, many of which
have been designed especially for this
office.
The secret of rapid mail service is the
elimination of as much handling as
possible. This is obtained by three de-
vices. Electric trucks. moving belts
and mail chutes are so arranged that
sacks of mail may be taken through
the building and sorted and finally
placed upon the waiting mail trains
without having been touched by hand.
Bags and pouches are dropped from
the trucks into chutes. At the bottom
of the chutes they hit sliding canvas
belt propelled by electricity at the rate
of 130 feet minute, which is operated
from a. switchboard. AS the bags pass
different station in the building they
are removed according to their ulti-
mate destination. Those which need to
be sorted are quickly disposed of and
the others are passed on to the waiting
traill below,

Big Triplanes Said to Have Been

BY HERBERT COREY.

Copyright. 19l5.D
PARIS. November 23-"He was driv-
ing a packhorse.
That's the way fliers talk about their
job nowadays. Aeroplanes have been
classified as scouts and battleships and
packhorses. A fiier goes out with no
more emotion upon a bombing trip than
If he were shooting birds in the wheat
stubble. They say they are not even
excited. 1t is part of the days work.
"He thinks he put bomb in the sta
ton at Vouziers.'
The fiier under discussion had flown
in the greatest aerial raid of the world,
history. Early one morning sixty-hve
aeroplanes rose awkwardly in field
somewhere in France" They scuttled
off to the attack like so many clumsy
hawks By and by they came back,
having discharged their duty in the
most prosaic and humdrum manner
possible. The announcement caused no
excitement. An aerial raid nowadays
isn't half the newspaper story that one
of the old-time cavalry raids would be.
A cavalry raid has become Impossible.

in constant use. constant repair is
necessary, and the young mechanics
learn from the first to face practical
problems
The we'll equipped Gary school in
cludes a printing press, where the pu-
pills may get a very fair knowledge of
that trade, including photography and
engraving. The Froebel School now
books. and many of the schools take
orders for outside work The printing
plant fthe Emerson School in Gary
did nearly $4,000 worth of printing
work one year and made profit over
all expenses of that department. In
the cabinet-making department. Che
value of the work was over $4,000, and
here also the work more than paid the
expenses of the course.
The defective child and the brilliant
child are the two great problems of the

fit the average child fairly well, but
the backward one cannot keep up. and
the bright one is idle half the time.
The Gary plan is easily adjusted to
both of these cases. A weak child may
spend most of his time in carefully
supervised play until he is strong
enough to study, and one who learns
slowly will be given plenty of time.
Promotion is by subjects. not by
grades. The brilliant youngster can
thus go ahead as fast as his aptitudes
will carry him.
According to this new idea. the ad-
vantages OF school are not merely for
children. but for any citizen who wants
education. The Gary plan comprises
evening school for men, and last year
there were more men enrolled in the
evening classes. in some of the cities,
than there were boys in the day school
These evening schools are divided into
sections just as the day classes are.
The privilege of using the school
shops is also extended to all citizens.
Any one may make anything he wishes
in the school shops by merely paying
the price of the materials.
This maintenance of night school for
adults is a great deal more expensive
than day school. but its value to a
community is equal to the cost in the
opinion of most educators. For one
thing 1t is the surest and quickest
way to make citizens out of aliens.
Another unique feature of the Gary
plan is the use of the children to in
struct each
Children Used to OF her e
Teach Each Other. yorues are
graded upon their efficiency The de-
sire to excel before their fellows is,
of course, great stimulus to effort.
This feature of the plan is the subject
of a good deal of discussion, educators
disagreeing as to its value, but it has
undoubtedly been used with success.
The Gary plan is purely and typically
American in its origin. 1t was work ed
out by William r. Writ, a young edu-
Gator who was placed in charge of
the public schools of Gary. Ind. Gary
is an industrial town with a popula-
ton of $4,000. There are nineteen diff
ferent nationalities represented. To
educate the children of this motley
crowd of alien laborers, and to make
good American citizens of them with
rather scant appropriations, was the
problem that confronted Mr.. Writ.
Out of this difficulty and this need
grew the big idea that is now attract
ing the attention of all progressive
American cities.

Corn Clubs in Brazil.

The corn club idea. which was re-
ceived with SO much enthusiasm by
American schoolboys. has recently been
introduced in Brazil. The minister of
agriculture of that country considers
it a splendid means of increasing the
nations corn crops, and with the help
of the department of commerce has
succeeded in starting over 300 boys
corn clubs during the past year.
The bulletins of our own Department
of Agriculture dealing with the corn
club movement have been translated
into Portuguese for the benefit of the
boys of Brazil, and have done a great
deal, toward making the experiment a
success. Already the clubs have accom-
plished encouraging results. At the first
Brazilian corn exposition held at San
Paulo recently, under the auspices of
the National Society of Agriculture,
many boys were awarded prizes for
their fine exhibits of corn.
