WASHINGTON SYSTEM OF
FAIRGROUNDS IN CHINA.
Oriental Kingdom Interested in Capi
tai Physical Education
Methods.
(Capital News Service.(

Capital News Service.)
Washington, Sept, 4.-Mr. Ming
Chao Lut, attache of the Chinese
Legation in the Nations Capital, has
written to the Supervisor Of Wash
ington, D. C.'s Fairgrounds, asking
for information regarding physical
educational facilities provided for
Washington's children, with view
to introducing the same methods into
his own country. He said, in part:
"I shall be much obliged if you will
kindly advise me how much you have
paid for the different sort Of physical
apparatus, what is your management
of the playground, and whether there
is the necessity of providing the
youngsters with a specialist or In
structor in play. I shall also be very
grateful if you will be good enough
to give me some pamphlets or speci-
fication plans, if you have any, for
shall like to introduce your best sys-
tenn like this to young China whenever
I have chance to get in touch with
some of our progressive educators
or those who promote the welfare OF
the young folks in the Orient"
+ Educational authorities interested in
the spread of modern ideas in the
Orient see in this request the opening
wedge for dissemination of play
ground knowledge in the East. Su-
pervised play, very modern addition
to primary education, has proved so
successful as an introduction to, and
a furthering of school work itself,
that it is believed it would vastly in
crease the possibilities of moderniz-
ing far eastern thought could it be
successfully planted on Oriental soil.
Incidentally Washington playground
authorities, who tug vainly at Con-
gressional purse-strings in an en-
deavor to get more and better play
grounds for city as yet ill-provided
with them, hope that this interest
from a far country may arouse Con-
gress to a better realization of the
needs of American children in what
should be the greatest educational
center in the country, the Nations
Capital.

SEA-PLANE CATAPAULT
SUCCESSFULLY TESTED
Modern Plane Launching Device
Reminiscent of Earliest
Wright Method.
(Capital News Service.)

Capital News Service.)
Washington, Sept, A sea-plane
has been launched by the new navy
catapault device from the battleship
Maryland off West Ninety-Six street,
New York.
The carriage of the catapault device
attains a speed of between so and 60
miles in so feet. When the plane
reaches the end of the catapault rails
it has sufficient velocity to rise at
once in the air.
The improvement in the catapault
is that the running carriage does not
drop off into the water, but despite its
speed of close to a mile minute
comes to an abrupt stop at the side
of the ship.
Aviation experts in Washington, the
cradle of Government flying, recall
with interest the first Wright Broth
ers experiment in 1908, at Fort Myer,
Va, across the Potomac from Wash
| ington. At this time the Wright
biplane was helped into the air by
catapault, in which falling weight
pulled rope which jerked the little
flying machine into the atmosphere.
1t is considered odd that in view of
the difficulty experienced in persuad-
;; ing the Wrights that wheeled fusil-
ages must be designed in order that
airplanes by independent Of launching
devices, the most modern develop
ments in aviation should return to the
oringinal idea. Long before Wright,
DR.. S. P. Langley, then Chief of the
Smithsonian Institution, designed a
flying machine which also was launch
ed by catapault.
The new navy device makes sea-
planning, to a large extent, independent
of the weather, since planes may rise,
regardless of waves, although COM
pletely protected landing device for
high seas has yet to be perfected.
