Long Leap from Plane
At Rantoul, Ill.

RANTOUL, H., March ga
worlds record parachute drop of
24,400 feet from an aeroplane was
made BY army aviators in para
chute experimental test here today.
The drop was made by Lieut.. Ar
thur G. Hamilton. Hamilton landed
eight miles from the point at which
he started.
The machine from which the drop
was made left Chanute Field at
1I:47 and climbed steadily up to q
height of 24.400 feet when Lieut..
Harry waddington. driving the
plane, became so cold he could
scarcely read the alimeter.
As the aeroplane reached this
altitude Lieut.. Hamilton, in the rear
cockpit, apparently fell asleep. He
was awakened by Lieut.. Wadding
ton and prepared for the jump-off
with the alimeter reading 24,40o
feet.
Hamilton jumped clear of the
ship and the parachute opened i'm
mediately. There was but little
wind when he jumped, and indica-
tions were he would light in the
center of Chanute Field. About
$4,000 feet up, however, he struck
a strong air current, which carried
him beyond the field and eight miles
north of Rantoul.
Lieut.. Waddington in the mean
time landed. boarded another plane
and was almost at the scene before
Hamilton finally landed.
The record of the drop is official
Immediately authority was granted
for the jump, the commandant Of
the field issued instructions that the
paragraph be adjusted and sealed
by two other officers, and as soon
as the ship landed the instrument,
was recorded and II showed an ofti-
cial altitude of 23.700 feet above sea

PUPILS TO RECITE
WISE SAYINGS TO
HONOR EDUCATORS
Observance of Birthdays
Of Mann and Come
MUS Planned.

Bits of wisdom from the lips and
pens Of Horace Mann and Johann
Comenius, famous educatorS. will
feature the celebration in the public
schools throughout the nation CT
their birthday anniversaries March
2S and May 4.
The Bureau of Education, of the
Interisr Department has sent out to
all Instructors suggestions for pro-
grams and numerous quotations for
pupils to memorize,. The sayings OF
these great men. Mann, OF Massa-
chusetts, and .Comenlus, of the Old
World, are to be voiced in responses
at roll calls in schools and col
leges throughout the country where
the suggestions of the Bureau of
Education are adopted.
Bits of Wisdom.
When the name of pupil lis
called out by the tutor the pupil. in
stead of responding with the simple
word present" will say at the Co
menus observance, which will be
March 2S:
"He by whom many things mus,
be done must express himself in a
few words"
The next pupil:
BLESSED Is the home where voices
resound with music"
Another:
THE foundation of all knowledge
consists in correctly representing
sensible objects to our senses, so
that they can be comprehended with
facility"
Some Mannisms.
At the celebration of the birthday
of Horace Mann May 4 some of the
quotations for roll cali follow:
Nothing can ever ALLEVIATE me
from my sworn love Of the young
nor divert my wishes and exertions
from what 1 believe will best pro-
mote their welfare.
IF there are momentous questions
which, with present lights, we can
not demonstrate and determine, let
US rear up stronger and purer and
more impartial minds for the solemn
arbitrament."
"A moderate degree of intelligence
diffused through the mass OF the
people, is more than an equivalent
for all the prodigality of nature"
Educators Heretofore sIighted.
In announcing the date for these
observances to superintendents
principals, and college presidents
throughout the nation, Commission
er Claxton of the Bureau of Educa-
tion, said in rart:
Possibly to a greater extent than
in any other thing the schools have
failed to make the people Intelligent
about education itself. Special at
tention is given to the work of war
riors. statesmen. authors and others.
The anniversaries of their birthdays
are celebrated with special pro-
grams and exercise. But no such
attention is given to great educators
whose works have made possible or
given form and spirit to our sys-
TENS of education. l am therefore
suggesting that the 32sth anniver-
sary of the birth of Comenius and
the 125th anniversary of the birth of
Mann be observed fittinglY March
2S and May, respectively" ". ?

States voted against it. At that
time these Senators. of course, had
not the faintest apprehension that
their action would ever come back
faintest notion that the same bill
would be revived again. What
these Senators will do now is a sub
ject of acute and painful considera-
tion for them. IL they voted

going to veto 1t, what excuse will
they have to vote in favor of II al
a time when there is a Republican
President who wants to sign it,.
On the whole subject of the tariff
the Democrats feel that they are In
a better position for opposition than
in any of the historic debates on
previous tariff bills. Under the new
conditions of the country the Demo
Gratis will have the advantage OF
friendly support from sections OF
the business community that they
never had before.
Not So Sure on Tax Action.
AS to what the democrats Will uo
about taxation. they are less thor
oughly crystallized than on the sub
ject of the tariff. On taxation they
will leave decision until later, but
they have not the least doubt that
when the Republican program on
taxation is made public the Demo-
Gratis will find a satisfactory open
ing for effective opposition.
They know that for ten or twenty
years after a war 1t is likely that
the great political issues will be
fiscal and will turn in broad way
on how to pay the cost of the war,
and what sections of the commun-
ity are to be made to pay it. Some
angle of this question, indeed, is
likely to be the chief issue in the
next Presidential campaign.
