About seven years ago the air mail
in the United States was inaugurated.
At present there are s. planes being
used and 40 or 30 pilots flying and
carrying some 600 persons and CO.,
100000 pieces of mail.
The service began with the trans
continental airplaDe in 1917.
The plane service was originally
under the joint auspices of the War
and Postoffice Departments. Now 1t
is under the exclusive management OF
the Postmaster General, Mr.. Harry 5.
New.
The regular service over the New
York-San Francisco route began July
/. 1924, and since then there has been
no serious interruption TO the daily
service.
Some time ago a flyer who was ap.
parently obeying instructions struck
a mountain on bis regular trip TO
Chicago and was killed.
This does not prove the failure Of
the service, but it shows that it is yet
in its infancy.
The ordinary time required for the
flight is "a hours and 45 minutes go
ing west. and 81 hours and five min
utes coming east.

San Antonio Schools
Holding Interest
of Boys

4 CCORDING to the October enrolment more bows
n than girls are attending San Antonio public
schools
This situation is not much the result of decrease
IN the attendance of girls is of increase in the
attendance OF boys, Superintendent Marshall Johnston
explained to reporter for The Light.
In the elementary grades the boys outnumbered
the girls by GAL in the junior high schools by 321 and
in the senior schools by three.
Sometime ago San Antonio educators announced
that they endeavoring with the cooperation of the
school board and with the consent of the taxpayers in
the Independent district abandon the outworn aca-
demc idea of education and to revise the curriculum
and methods of instruction to accord with the most
advanced practices. The announcement although not
made In the exact language used above was to that
effect
Attention was called 30 the fact that the public
schools not holding boys especially in the higher
grades. admitted that something should be done
not only to hold boys in school but to give them the
maximum of practical education during their public
school years.
San Antonio public schools have been working
steadily toward that end The curriculum has been made
very flexible in order that it may best serve the needs
OF the individual No attempt made TO force children
into rigid academic mold regardless of their aim in life
and their individual talents and potentiaities
Within recent months the San Antonio public
schools have attracted nationwide attention in educa-
tonal circles. The amount of publicity that San An
tonic has received because of its public schools is fully
appreciated only by those who read the publications of
the profession
1t is gratifying to learn that success has attended
the efforts of San Antonio educators Although the con-
dtion shown by the October enrolment may have been
partly attributable to other causes such as the general
prosperity of this section and the feminine invasion of
the business world there doubt that can be ac-
counted for in main only by the fact that the San An
tonic public schools holding the interest of boys by
adequately serving their needs.
The boy is being guided toward the life he antici
pates. He sees the purpose of an education that is
purposefu.

slashing, tearing injuries, but also for
the care of persons who have diseases
from infections due TO carelessness.
You run a silver in ,our finger. That

pital care you think. With an unclean
knife blade you remove the splinter,
but insert in the wound something far
worse. The pus germs put into your
tissues by this careless act produce re-
suits which send you to the hospital
and possibly to the graveyard.
Nobody can afford to be careless.
Whether you have at stake your
money, your reputation or your health,
you must give thought to self-preserva-
ton.
Observation-Disclosures is the excuse Civ
en- for many an accident. Undoubted-
ly it is the real reason for many unfor-
tunate events.
Who is to blame for the habit OF abb
sent-mindedness? guess you can call
it habit. At least it is habitual with
too many.
is the parent at fault for the pro-
duction Of a mental state which is de-
scribed as Observation-Disclosures Is it
the fault of the teachers who have
failed to correct this mental habit?
II must be admitted that chronic d.
gestive trouble, kidney and liver dis
turbances and other physical causes,
may operate to create a sluggishness
of body and mind which may be a
factor in developing absent-minded-
ness. But, in my opinion, early train
ing, or rather it's neglect, is the chief
cause.
The child immersed in his book, au.
tomatically answers "Aha" when asked
a question. He is hardly conscious
Of what is said but he knows some
response is required. The same thing
happens, over and over again. After
a while the child goes about in a sort
of trance, doing his tasks more or less
unconsciously.
Here is type Of habitual careless
ness. 1t helps TO keep the hospitals
busy.
The child should be taught alert
ness Of mind, quick and intelligent re-
Spouse. He should not be INDUCED
softly. He should be trained TO use
his head on every occasion.
Then when every person is given I'M
derstanding Of how to care for the
body, there viii be fewer victims of
carelessness.

Some Air Mail Facts
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

The distance is 26S0 miles. The
fastest express trains require more
than four days for this trip, while
the planes fly at 100 miles an hour.
The route is well marked and there
are beacon lights at every 20 miles
with extra powerful ones every 200
miles.
All flying is still dangerous, but the
record of the air service is compare
lively free from serious accidents.
1t was five and half months be-
fore the first pilot was killed.
At first only souvenir senders and
similar persons used the air mail,
but now it is used by business men,
bank officers and for movie films.
1t will not be long before the en-
tire continent is linked by air lines
and it is entirely possible that the air
service will take the place Of the pres
ent postal service.
Two-thirds of the air transport
routes Of Europe are operated by Ger
many. All Of the large cities of Ger
many are linked by regular air line.
The above summary of facts con-
corning air planes is taken from Loose

Something to Think About
By BRUNO LESSING

A young Mexican sailor was ar
rested in New York recently for smok-
ing a cigarette made of hasheesh.
Hasheesh is drug derived from the
plant which produces Indian hemp
ICannabis indica). When asked
where he had obtained this drug the
sailor said that be had found a field
Of Indian hemp growing along a rail-
road track in Long Island City.
The police investigated and found
that he was telling the truth. Close
by the track were several factories
which manufacture rope and hawsers
of all kinds and import Indian hemp
in the raw. Pieces of hemp, thrown
away upon a vacant field. had taken
root. The living quality Of the plant
had survived. the long journey from
India and had, at the first oppor-
tunity, sought a friendly soil in order
TO grow.

can not make them so he observed to one performer
and in the Mikado he put the funny man of the stage
