A New Stride in Aviation.

XVTHILE the world was amazed by the sue
w cess OF German technical students with
motorless airplanes. doubts were cast upon the
practical possibilities OF the device. at always will
remain a miraculous toy" said aviation experts on
this side OF the Atlantic. And at this point thy
apt to drop the discussion and to lose in
tcrest. The London Daily Mail however throws
light upon the practical side Of the glider
toy it may remain but it will be very cheap toy
in consideration Of the thrills it will afford the
youth of the future. 1t will be within the reach
of everyone. 1t means a future generation which
will take to the air naturally as ducks take to
water.
The glider can be constructed, according to the
Mail statistics, to sell for about SIoo An amateur

for less than $500. Among families OF medium
wealth. it probable, the air "hivver" will become
common its predecessor, the kite. Its mech

years the air will have become natural roadway
not alone for comparatively few trained aviators
but for school boys.
One of the destinations OF the new science is
the scope afforded for individual ingenuity and i'm

But we hesitate to forecast what may happen when

Simultaneously with its revelation regarding
the possible chcapness of the glider, the London
newspaper informs its readers that Herr. Fokker
recent visitor in Washington, is at work on an
"air motorcycle with which he will attempt
flight across the channel. He simply will equip
ordinary glider with small engine the only
purpose OF which will be to enable the glider
20 rise by its own power. And Herr Fokker an
extremely practical in al matters pertaining

will be practical for the average man.

The Need for Schools.

~ FFICIALS of the Bureau of the Budget
have been given an object lesson. The
first two weeks of the school year should
have convinced them of the absolute need Of an
additional appropriation for the education of Dis
trict children. The shortcomings of Washingtons
school machinery never were so obvious. The
dangerous, unsanitary conditions which obtain in
every section OF the city. Conditions bid fair to be
worse than was the case last year. Hardly a
schoohouse in the city is not overcrowded. The
enrolment is not yet complete and the most op-
tmistic school officials do not venture to predict
what Conditions will be when all the children have
been provided with seats. There more school
children in the District this year than last year.
There will be still next year. What will be
the result in very few years if great deal Of
money is not invested in the future Of Washing
tons citizenry at once?
We have no reason to doubt that the men,
bcrs of the bureau far-mnded men. We have
reason to suppose that they would deny the
benefits Of ordinary public school education to
the younger generation of the National Capital
for no other purpose than to make better hnan-
cial showing their annual report. We have no
reason, to suppose that they will pinch pennies at
the expense of American boys and girls. Hence
OF large supplemental Appropriation now that
they have seen with their own eyes the actual
conditions.

revolution is apparent. But until the old order

To the Editor. Ths wsshinstou Herald:

OF roller skstea as a public nui-
sAnce. for the special benefit of

"Leprosy Not the Terrible Disease
1t Is Considered" Says Army
Expert.

Leprosy, one of the Oldest and
most dreaded of diseases, isn't sucn
a terrible affliction at all, accord
ing to Maj. Charles z. Macdonald,
Medical Corps, United States army,
now stationed at Buffalo. He Is
soon to go on a trip arourd the
world, sent by the War Department
for an investigation of tropical dis
eases. 'Leprosy is not Contagious.
1t is infect Gus. and that is all"
said DIR. Macdonald recently. From
the patients point of view, leprosy
is not so bad. 1t is not inherited.
so 1eprot:c parents can have per-
fectly normal children, IL they are
isolated from actual physical con-
tact with the disease, and again,
the leper Is immune from all other
diseases. For some reason, the ;ep-
rosy bacillus life fights off all
other disease bacilli. In fact the
longevity averages of lepers is
above normal.
TT Is my personal opinion that
there are a number of lepers at
large'-that is, living normal lives
in some of the communities in the
United States-entirely unknown to
their neighbors. But there Is moth
.ng to worry about; the leper can
not hurt the healthy man, or can
the healthy, or for that matter. un-
healthy man hurt the leper."
