AVIATOR HAS
 SPORTING CHANCE IN PARACHUTE

Washington, Oct. 1.-The mechan- ism for parachute jumping from air planes, described in statement of the Army Air Service, discloses the hazards of the jumper and wherein his feat has a sporting chance of ending in death.
 The parachute used by aviatorS,' ,' says the Services statement, ''is fold ed snugly inside a pack carried on the back. The operator steps off the plane, allows himself a couple of sec onds to fall clear of his machine, then pulls a wire depending over his shoulder. This wire opens the spring doors of the pack and releases a small pilot chute some couple of feet in diameter. This pilot spring opens automatically and catching the rush of air, draws the main chute from the pack.
 'In the top of the main chute is an automatic vent which, opening to a width of five feet when the big paraSo1 first unfolds, gives the air compressed within a chance to escape and leSSens the danger of blowing the chute apart. When the fall has been checked, rubber springs or shock absorbers in the vent close it in until but a small hole remains.
 At the atmospheric pressure wherein most parachute drops from ordinary attitudes are made the speed attained by the operator in his couple of seconds falls is sufficient to create enough pressure under the pilot chute to cause it when released to yank the big one at once from it's pack. Us ually the operator is descending at normal speed after falling less than 200 feet. However, at high attitudes the atmosphere has not sufficient eff feet on the pilot chute until the oper- ator has fallen a great distance and attained a terrific speed. The shock when the parachute does open is ac- cordingly severe and there is quite sporting chance of the silk flying into ribbons.''

ject of the plan, Labor Department heads explained, is to get the immi- grants away from the metropolis to the capital and western parts of the state. State employment bureaus have been established n this city and most of the large upstate cities.
 A large billboard with notices in many languages stating that "no fees are charged and all classes of labor, technical, skilled and unskilled are handled' has been posted at the inn migrant station. The sponsors of the plan declare they are particularly anxious to get immigrant labor for farm work. They say that there is a great deal of land in this state that is idle because of the dearth of agri- cultural workers.

AS is THE SUPERINTENDENT

Some one, j. NJ. Rice, | think, has
said that city has good system of
schools when it has a good superin-
tendent and poor system of schools
when it has a poor superintendent.
No matter who said it, it is essential
ly true. A good superintendent is an
educational leader; he is not good
superintendent if he is not. An edu-
cational leader, either in city or coun-
ty, will have much to say about who
shall teach and who shall not in the
schools under his supervision. He
must be at least fairly skillful in Sc
lecting good teachers. He will man
age in some way to get rid of the poor
est ones already in the system, and
will pay little more than the aver
age salaries so that he can have his
PICK from among the best instead of
the mediocre. He will develop an
esprit de corps that will make teach
ing in the city pleasure and stimu-
lus to greater educational proficiency.
