BUILDING HIGHWAY
 THROUGH THE SKY
(By United Press]

Washington, Feb. 26.-America's g first model aerial highway will be con- structed early this year, the United States air service declared today.
 The airway will connect Washing ton and Dayton, A., this statement said, and will be provided with land ing fields at 15-minute flight inter- vals. The fields all will be equipped with radio control stations, night na- vigation aids, housing and mainten- ance eequipment-accommodation that will make general travel over the route safer, the announcement said, than auto touring by road
 The primary purpose of the airway will be to demonstrate the value of such routues not only for commercial use but for national defense, and to test whether they should be subject to federal interstate legislation rather than state control.

An instructor to teach vocational az

Orland graduate of the Uni versity of Illinois college of agricul- ture, one of the strongest schools in the entire country, has been assigned at Nilonia and assumed his duties there on February 21 Howard Moore, who is principal Of the school, is cer- tain that the instruction in agricul- ture will mean much to Niionia and that vicinity. The school was already well known for it's progressive facul- ty and citizenship supporting it.
 Instruction in agriculture such has been given tte Vilonia school is under the provisions of the Smith Hughes bill and it without cost to the schools so favored. A. B. Hill of Little Rock, superintendent of education, who re- gently visited the school with Supt. A.. A. Parsons, Jr., and County Agent T. M. Williams, is directly responsible for the good fortune which has fav- ored the school. MT. Hill visited the school on February and was much impressed by the work being done. At the suggestion of MT. Parsons he recommended it for Smith Hughes man and the state department of edu- cation was favorable As a result, Vilonia is the first school in the coun- to to secure courses in agriculture as provided under the Smith Hughes act
 Mir. Orland is putting instruction on practical basis. Farms on which his students reside are the experiment patches. Project work is assigned, the student is told to cultivate a certain crop In certain way, and then MT. Orland makes a personal inspection to check up the results. The grant under the Smith Hughes act also in- cludes $4O0 worth of shop tools for the use of the students. His work will be for F months in the year.
 The high school at Vilonia has an enrolment of 215 students, Mir. Moore said. The addition of Mr Orland gives IS a faculty of five teachers. On ac- count of the excellence of work done. It receives patronage from pupils dis tant from Vilonia, whose tuition adds materially to the revenue.

 Agriculture instruction under the smith Hughes act has been made to count heavily in public school educa- tlon Tn Arkansas, which now has about 70 instructors working in it's public schools.

Walter Hampden ON
Modern Trend i'm
Giving Shakespeare

Ns THERE al any modern trend in pre-
~ senting Shakespeare Is there
anything to the "new" school of
the bard's entrepreneurs? Not if Wal
ter Hampden has anything to say about
it, For you may take it from Hamp-
den that there is nothing modern in
the moderns at all. Nothing, to be
brief, save the lone precept of getting
back to- Shakespeare himself.
"The modern trend" says Mr.. Hamp-
den, "is in various directions, some
supposedly forward, others supposedly
tangential. My trend is back to
Shakespeare. You see, | am trying
merely to go straight to the mark. 1t
was Shakespeare who created the some
thing with the power of eternal repro
duction.. 1t was he, it might be said, /,
who inspires-this is really too obvi-
GUS to mention-his interpreters. And
therefore one can hardly go forward
any more rapidly than by making
Shakespeare himself the stage director.
We talk about direction to-day when
it. is generally recognized that the
author rather. much knows what he
wants. 1t is not such a difficult thing
as it might seem to find out what
Shakespeare intended. The difficulty
is that most. individuals think they're
talking of something old and out of
date and talk of bridging the gap
when there really isn't any gap to
bridge. .------.,. :
"Do i mean that Shakespeare is as
modern as we are? In the sense that
he is the only living dramatist, yes.
The individuals who consider him old
fashioned never get far enough be-
meath the surface to find out that his
human analysis is essentially the same
as similar keen analysis would be to-
day, or a hundred years from now
But they are wrong not only in the
underneath the surface phase, if
might call it that, which escapes them
altogether, but also in the superficial
side. They say that Shakespeare is
oldfashioned because he speaks in
blank verse, whereas l think that
Shakespeare's verse is the music, the
rhythm, the perfected expression of
the being-thc only way to speak at
all. The thing we call real speech is

John Drinkwater-
An Argument for
Historical Drama

~ HE so-called historical novel, of
VI which at one time or another
particularly in the '9Os), there
have been SO many written in our
language, has probably been more
than matched by the historical play
certainly preceded by it. 1t is
a fact that two of the outstand-
ing successes of last season in
New York were historical plays
abraham Lincoln and "Richard Ill"
peare wrote such plays to furnish
popular education to the British
masses. But this may we'll be doubted.
Shakespeare's public didn't probably
care any more about being educated
in the theater than the public of to-
day, which is very little indeed. He
wrote historical plays because the
people of England, including himself,
were coming into national conscious
ness and were interested in their own
history and because history gave him
powerful and picturesque characters.
Powerful and picturesque characters
that is a good part of the story
Why did Drinkwater make play about
Abraham Lincoln? He has himself
told often enough Lincoln fascinated
him. The spiritual qualities of the
man which so profoundly affected his
tory were great and enduring qualities,
which, when shown on the stage, could
not fail of making a profound impress
sion. 1t is probably this richness of
history in the vital stuff of drama
the significant haracter-which caused
Drinkwater to choose another historic
parsonage, Mary, Queen of Scots, for
the leading figure of his second play,
MARY Stuart" which is to be run
again next season. Indeed he has COM
pleted, or nearly completed, a third
play about Cromwell, which we shall
see next season, and has projected
drama about General Robert E. Lee
Looking back through the range of
English poetry and drama, it is rather
striking that the poets who also have
attempted the theater have more often
than not perhaps been drawn to his
tory for their themes, even from the
days of Marlowe. This can hardly be
due to lack of invention on their part
Shakespeare inventive force was at
least the equal of Pinero's. 1t seems
rather due to greater seriousness
among the poets, SO that they are at
once both more greatly stirred by his
tory and more desirous of putting
on the stage som methng which is de-
monstrably real and of significance as
a "criticism of life"
Although the Lincoln" was in prose
and the new "Mary Stuart" is in prose,
John Drinkwater is a poet. He began
his literary. career as writer of verse,
and though for many years past he has
given most of his time to the theater
(both directing and acting in the Br
mingham Repertoire Theater), he has
never ceased composing poetry nor
abandoned the high seriousness" OF
the poets point of view. He has taken
Mary Queen of Scots for his second
character because she lived tensely
suffered greatly and had that in her
nature which has baffled and attracted
men of all races for three hundred
years. After the reverent fidelity and
acumen of the Lincoln" we are not
surprised to find historic probity and
significant psychology in the new
drama.

the beginning of new epoch in the
theatrical history of New York" To our
mind it marked on the contrary, brief
return to bad old day which is gone,
day in which elocution was confused
with the expression of emotion and
actors made faces in order to show
that the vultures were at them. We
are among those who think that Mr.
Hampden is an actor of high power,
but to us his Macbeth seemed decided
ly second rate.
Macbeth itself, although one of the
eternal tragedies of the English stage,
can hardly be as fine play as it was
once upon time. Too many indiffer-
ent actors have walked upon it for US
to expect to find all the original
juices still in its body. Hampden is
now among those who have trodden
heavily upon it. And in our opinion
Mary Hall, the Lady Macbeth in the
present production, has done her tram
