slant danger Of It. It strikes alike
at the Office worker, in whose daily
task there IS not the slightest ele-
ment of physical danger, and at the
shipyard worker rishng his life high
up on platform. The more he gets
to know his Job the more he is IN
clined to do his work automatically,
as matter Of habit.
"The shipworker may be stag
gered' by stepping on loose board
and having a nasty fall. When he
gets out Of the hospital and goes back
to work he makes sure that there are
no loose boards in his platform. He
will not have another fall from that
cause for some time. He has been
staggered Or he may get the same
result from another, a foreman or
fellow workman who notices that he
is endangering his life and perhaps
the lives Of others because he has be-
come a victim Of habit. If talk
won't do it punch on the jaw will.
But the ideal method is for the
worker to do 1t himself by mental
effort.

Airplanes Of the Future

forward motion were it allowed to
remain extended below the wing. An
airplane with such retractile chas-
sis has already been built by
French manufacturer, and another
type has been designed by an Ameri-
can aeronautical engineer.
The tail Of the future airplane
will be spread out like that of bird
in flight, and it will carry the same
kind Of control surfaces that the or
dinary airplane uses-a rudder to
turn the machine right and left and
elevators to control it's climbing or
descending flight. The ends Of the
wings will be equipped with ailerons
to control 'banking," or inclined
turns.
In the rear or trailing edge" of
the wing will be the propellers that
drive the machine forward. They
will all be Of the pusher type and
there will be one to each engine fitted
into the wing.
Such in general way will be the
external features of the future air-
plane. The internal aspects will be
even more remarkable. The wing
will be internally braced. In other
words, it will be just as though a
streamline cover had been built over
the two wings Of the modern biplanc
completely covering all the struts
and bracing wires that strengthen
the wings.
Two solid decks will be construct
ed inside the wing, and all the per-
manent structures inside it will be
carefully balanced along it's length.
The engines will be equally spaced,
so that the wing will take up their
weight equally. Their shafts will
protrude through tunnels to the out
side OF the wing, where the propeller
Will be attached, exactly in the same
manner as those in steamship. The
fuel tanks carrying gasoline and oil
will also be distributed along the
wing in such manner as to give bal
erce. They will be connected to each
other by pipes. Air-driven pumps
VIII enable the trimming" Of the
fuel tanks.
For the passengers and crew the
decks will be divided into suitable
New-York tribune., 1920-06-27

rooms. One room will be for the
pilots and will contain all the con-
trolls Of the machine, together with
the necessary instruments. Connect
ed with this will be the navigation,
chart and wireless room. Each Of
these two rooms will be equipped
with triplex non-breakable glass Win
dows in the floor, sides and roof, so
the officers of the airplane can get
an unrestricted view all around
The passengers quarters will be
similarly equipped wherever possible.
The theory upon which this air
plane is based has arisen from
knowledge gained in the gradual de-
velopment that has already taken
place in aeronautics. 1t has already
been conceded that the ultimate
limit in large airplanes of present
type equipment has practically been
reached. There are several reasons
for this, chiefly the followng: The
extra bracing and struts required to
give strength to the giant machine
greatly retard its speed in fight. due
to the increased added resistance.
Overcomes Difficulties
In the future airplane these two
factors are completely overcome,
first by the fact that the wing is in
ternally braced, and therefore. be-
cause of its perfect streamline form,
offers the minimum of resistance; :;
second, because the load is evenly
distributed along the whole length of
The wing there is no theoretica
limit to it's size, any moro than
there is any theoretical limit to the
size of ocean steamships.
The only limit to the size of steam
ships IS that imposed by the harbor
facilities existing at the ports where
the ship Is compelled to trade. Land
ing fields are to the airplane what
docks and harbors are to steamships,
roads to automobiles and rails to
the railroads. Without these facii-
ties none of these forms of transpor-
tatlon would be of value to man. For
the same reason there can be no avi-
alton in this country until landing
fields are built in every city, village
and hamlet.

he isn't, and he knows that from the
start. He digs in to become a win
ner. He comes in contact with a
man Of the type Of Tom Sheldon or
Percy Haughton, both successful
business men. Every college in the
country has called back such men to
coach football and track teams.
They have made good on the teams
for the same reasons they have made
good in business. Boiled down to it's
essentials, they have learned to ap-
peal to the instinct that makes US all
worship heroes and long to emulate
or surpass them. I do not need to

their own front doors. It IS partic-
ularly applicable to the technical and
professional schools because students
in these lines are more likely to be-
come grinds. They pay less atten-
tion to social affairs than the man
taking the collegiate course. The
latter also gets in touch with a wider
range Of human effort and achieve
ment through his studies than the
man confning himself to one profess
sion.
"When every student in a college
is taught by object lesson and expe-
rience the power Of human associa-
tions as we'll as the few who go in

will have been made. I graduated
from Massachusetts Institute of
Technology in 1901 with the idea
that most of the country's famous
bankers and big business men wore

human beings. If such men were

Athletics and Success
"Now, let Us see whether this sys-
tenn Will work. Everybody knows
that some Of the biggest successes in
America to-day are the famous ath-
letes Of other days. This is because
men taking part In athletics have
been taught how to analyze and
handle men. Nobody has told them
in so many words that they were
getting this instruction. They have
been staggered now! In the
first place, they have come In con-
tact daily with the trainer. He is
generally a two-fsted individual of
the type described as a 'he-man,'
probably an ex-pugilist, a man who
has worked and who has mixed with
all classes, rough and ready. He
talks Of them in a language they
never heard In the classrooms. And
the point to bear in mind here is that
the man who wants to handle men
has got to understand this language.
| do not mean that he must be slangy
or uncouth. But If he wants to get
in under the skins of workers he
must be able to use the kind Of Eng
lish they understand.

dent would get line on handling
men that he doesn't get now for
years. do not pretend to assert
that any amount of talking by any
number Of experts can make later
experience unnecessary, but it can
and will prevent the student from
being a human sliding rule. OF
course, some men are so deeply ab-
sorbed in abstract research work
that what | have said does not ap-
ply to them. They are what has
been called the non contact type"
Value of Shop Work
Every attempt Of an industry to
draw specifications for men that has
been submitted to the educational-in-
dustrial committee so far has laid
emphasis on the necessity for shop
work. What they are all seeking is
better knowledge of human nature
on the part of the student. Most of
them try to reach it by providing for
contact between the students and the
men who are actually doing the work
of industry.
But the big idea of having success
full executives talk to the students
already has been put in practice. AS
the first step toward convincing in
dustry that it is necessary, DR.. God
frey inaugurated the system a year
ago at Drexel on q scale even great
er and more revolutionary to educa-
tional methods than that suggested
by Mr.. Brush. Prior to that he had
built up DreXel from q school of
few hundred students to more than
two thousand in the night courses
alone in less than six years. All of
these students work during the day,
some at hard labor, and many come
from distant suburbs to attend the
classes.
To-day the teaching force for the
DreXel night school is made up al
most solely of men whose names are
unknown to educators generally but
familiar in professional circles
throughout the world, in some in
stances. To get these men Drexel
combed the industries and public
utilities of Philadelphia. 1t obtained
PERMISSION from the heads of cor
Dorations to hunt for successful men
IN their organizations who had had
enough teaching experience to know
how to teach.
And in finding them it demon

in the world. Her spe-
cialty is not diamonds or Pekingese
pups or silver mesh bags-but peo-
pie. And these she finds at the
ratio Of several hundred a month.
AS head Of the Personal Service
Bureau of the Near East Relief,
Miss Dwight locates and reunites
the missing members Of Armenian
families whose relatives here have
had no word Of them since the de-
portations, and Armenian -Ameri-
cans in this country for whom their
lIinsmen in the old have sent in
inquiries.
That this IS no simple task may.
be guessed by the fact that of the
hundreds Of letters which come to
Miss Dwight each month at her Of
flee, at l Madison Avenue, all too
few of them give any further in
formation about the persons to be
located than the name. Scores of
letters come from Armenians in this
country, asking the assistance of
the Near East Relief in finding the
whereabouts Of sister or nephew
who was last heard from back in
Harpoot before the massacres-or
Of mother who was seen years ago
in Turkish home in Marsovan by
woman who had shortly after made
her escape from the town. Or
the letter may ask help in locat
ing little son or daughter who was
known to have been taken, in 1915,
to Der-e Zor, a place since evacu-
ated by the few Armenian exiles
who were left alive after the de-
portation--no more data than that
on which to base a search.
Tracers Sent Out
In these cases Miss Dwight gets
rs much information as possible as
to the age and appearance Of the
persons in question, and then dis
patches it to Constantinople, from
where tracers are put on the trail
of the missing relatives. No matter
how useless the quest may seem, an
effort is made to follow it up
through the records kept in the
American orphanages and soup
kitchens and sewing rooms and
through careful inquiry among the
refugees arriving every day at the
various relief stations. In many
seemingly hopeless cases discovery
is made.

Advantage of Analysis

s"The student who can sit down
in his freshman year and take an
inventory of himself to determine
where he wants to go and how he
can get there in the shortest possible
space of time has an immense ad-
vantage over his fellows, even those
who are giving tremendous concen-
tration to the theory and practice
of the subjects they are studying.
By self-analysis, by the process
which | call Staggering he learns,
for one thing, that the shortest cut

who has done the things he wants
to know; in other words, the utili-
zation of the experience of others.
eve are all, consciously or other
wise, hero worshippers. l think the
first essential for educational insti-
tutions that want to teach their stu
dents the human qualities is to
bring in the heroes in specific lines
Of industry and the professions; the
men who have conquered, who are
leaders in their own lines. There is
not a big man in America to-day
who could not be induced to speak
twice or more a year at his alma
mater, or at some institution if he
is not college man. The younger
he is, the better. For then he is
more likely to be still in the thick
of the fight, in daily contact with
men.
The younger executive, the man
who has not reached a position of
wealth that makes it unnecessary
for him to think as hard as in other
days, is certain to be more keenly
alive TO the immediate present. The
older man is more likely to be re-
Prospective. OF course, there are
exceptions. But it is fatal to trv
to teach young men anything by the
kind Of advice that deals in condi-
tions rs they were a quarter of G
century ago--or even last year.
What the youngster in college wants
is the why and the wherefore of
now. AS general rule he has heard
all the platitudes and generalities.
