To the Editor of The Tribune.

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: You have given a prominent
place to Theodore Prices article on
the need Of work and the neglect of
our schools to stress this point. Nav
1 IN connection Herewith call your
attention to phase of our elementary
school education where this neglect
is so evident that any one can AT
once see and diagnose it? Not that
the directors and their teachers are
not doing all they can under the most
trying conditions Not at all. For
they do, and produce worth while re-
suits, although very much short Of
their ideals. But the chief trouble is
with the larger aspect of the question.
Our schools are, as Mr.. Price cor
rectly points out, overemphaszin the
abstract and are neglecting the con
crete. Our children are still the VIC
TINS of a medieval system. which puts
book learning over all. This is unnat-
ural, foreign TO a real boys nature, 10
whom tool work is most congenial, be-
cause natural. Our shops are too few
IN number, they are much too small,
very poorly equipped, the appropria-
tions inadequate, the classes shame
fully overcrowded and too numerous
the periods too short, the supplies de-
livered too irregulary or none at all
tor whole terms or parts of them. AL
in all, the manual training conditions
in our large industrial cities are often a
cross between tragedy and farce
Because of these inexcusable short
comings We fail to impress the boys.
we fail 20 implant even the smallest in
sight and outlook on industrial life
And Yet ninety-six out of a hundred
never go 70 high school. OF these.

Der Of scontentcd young men, who

Our overemphasis on bookwork
places the manual work in a false po-
sition, and the net result is an over
supply Of callings where manual la

New-York tribune., 1919-10-18

ANE of the most dismal failures of
the war was made in the endeavor
by all of the principal belligerents
to utilize the inventive genius Of the
average citizen. Every major belliger-
ent had board of inventions and re-
search, to which every man with an idea
was asked to communicate that idea. All
these boards had precisely the same
experience in England, France, Italy
and the United States. They all agree
that not one suggestion in ten thousand
which came in in this way was of any
value whatever, and that the occasional
worthwhile idea which was presented to
these boards was, in general, arrived at
earlier in other ways.
And yet every one of the aforemen-
toned countries actually did make dur
ing the war extraordinarily rapid prog
ress in applying new scientific methods
to the problems of submarine detection,
of aviation, of signalling, of gas war
fare, of mechanical warfare and of the
location of enemy guns, airplanes and
mines How was it done? What was
the method adopted to stimulate devel-
opment in such an extraordinary way
as it was stimulated during the Great
War?
The problem of submarine detec
ton was a problem of physics pure and
simple. Hence, the number of physicists
being quite limited, the number of men
who had any large capacity for handling
the problem of anti-submarine expert
mentation was small. These men existed
mostly in university laboratories or in
a very few industrial laboratories which
employed physicists, and we unquestion-
ably had gathered very representative
group of them together in the fifty men
assembled in the conference at Washing
ton. The success or failure of our anti
submarine campaign, and with it the
success or failure of the war so far as
we were concerned, depended upon select
ing and putting upon this job few men
of suitable training and capacity.

Airplane Cameras

Or, take again the problem of airplane
photography The developments Of the
war have completely revolutionized the
whole art of surveying, for a camera in
an airplane can now take in a few sec
onds complete map of any locality
even from height as great as 5000
feet. It is only necessary to have a few
fixed points on the photograph which are
determined by the old triangulation
methods and, by simply measuring up
the photograph you have all that it used
to take years of time to get by the old
time methods. Probably the finest air
plane cameras in existence were devel-
oped by the American group assigned to
that task

namely collision in fog. And, when it
is remembered that the preventing of a
single disaster like the sinking of the
Titanic or Of the Empress of Ireland
more than pays, without any reference
to the value Of human lives, for all the
time and money spent by England
France and the United States combined
in developing detecting devices, it will
be seen how shortsighted a thing it is
for any country to fail to find in some
way the funds necessary for carrying
on research and development work in
underwater detection. For decades and
for centuries we have allowed ships to
go down year by year needlessly. simply
because we have not realized the pos
sibilities of prevention through properly
organized scientific research in this field
But it has not merely been in sound
ranging and in submarine detection that
the war has demonstrated the capabili-
ties of science. Every single phase of
our war activities has told the same
story.

The Sound Lens

At the close of that conference a small
committee was appointed to select ten
men to give up their work and go to
New London to work there night and
day in the development of anti-subma-
rine devices. The men chosen were Mer-
II. A. Wilson, of Rice Institute; Pierce
and Bridgman, Of Harvard; Bumstead,
Nicols and Zeeny, of Yale, and Michel
son, of Chicago, although Professor
Nicholson was almost Immediately taken
off for other work of much urgency and
Chicago was represented in fashion
by the writer who was there a portion
of each week
Unquestonably the most effective de-
vice developed in America, and one
which played q real role in the elimina-
Immediately and directly out of the
aforementioned conference. The French
had already developed an apparatus
consisting Of sort of great sound lens
gether in the same phase at the centre
of the lens near the bottom of the hull
This was presented and discussed at
length in the conference. A full official
report Of the device was sent by the
French government to the Anti i-Subma-
rine Board of the navy, and at q meet
ing of that board the writer requested
to be allowed to take this report to the
group of scientists at New London for
the sake of a thorough analysis of it.
for he felt confident, and so stated at
the time, that through such an analysis
we would obtain variants of the device
which would be an improvement upon
it. This procedure was followed, and for
two days ten men assembled at hotel
in New London and studied that report
drawing up four or five different va
RANTS Of this device to develop and try
out. The most successful and effective
detector which actually got into use in
the war was one of these variants of
the original French device.
Its Peace Use
Many of our submarines and destroy
ers which went across during the SUM
mer of 1918 were equipped with it, and
now it is being still further dey ell
oped for peace use, rather than for
war, for it is possible through it to
eliminate the chief terror of the sea,

Vertical Bombing

Throughout the whole of the wal
bombing was done in very inaccurate,
a very hit-or-miss way. At Langley
Field group of able scientific men were
set upon that problem-and there are
only few men in the country who have
the requisite training for handling the
difficult problems of stablization which
are here involved. That group, headed
by DR.. Duff. improved the accuracy in
bombing so far as the main error was
concerned, which is in the determination
of the vertical, by more than threcfold,
and when it is remembered that three
fold increase in the accuracy of placing
bombs is exactly the equivalent of a
threefold multiplication of the produc-
ton Of bombing planes, it will be real
lied how important it is to devote the
small funds necessary to get scientific
men to solving these problems, and not
to confine attention merely to the prob

Bootleggef Arrested
While Out With Girl

Frank Bell, notorious bootlegger,
having already served many terms in
Jail, was arrested last, night by Dep
uty Howard Adams, who, is getting
famous on his lunches. Adams had
another bunch that Bell had whiskey
about him, and sure enough a pint
was discovered in his pocket. Bell
was out walking with his girl and
was right in the middle of a very po-
etical sentence when he was rudely
torn from her side. The young lady
didn't stop to argue about it but kept
right on going said Adams this morn
ing.
Bell will stand a hearing sometime
today. He is known to have made
several trips between this city and
Clarksburg and it is expected that
some of Bells hiding places will be
discovered soon by Adams.
