The announcement few years
ago that workers college had
been founded at Katonah, N. Y.
for the purpose of teaching among
other things, the Importance and
dignity of work with the hands al
most startled the so-called educa-
tors of the world. Today it is no
surprise when from every corner
OF the globe folks are admitting
that one can build better on ex-
perlence than on book exercise.
The so-called classical education
is truly giving room for the af-
falrs OF more practical nature.
The world changes much more rap
idly than our system of education.
Or. Hart, head of the department
of government at Harvard voices
this sentiment when he says in
part. american schools are not
giving the youth of the country a
sufficient knowledge of the prac-
teal affairs of life"
We join the Post-Intelligencer
IN the new crusade to eUse Your
Hands," and combine both mental
and physical training. Some day
the small high schools will pattern
after the more fortunate city
schools and offer such courses that
will insure better interest in ed
ucation.
The school officers for this
years work have been elected and
we can depend on this being the
best year. as our new officers have
already taken firm hold. They
are as follows:
President, Arno Krouge: vice
pres, Edith DeRigio; Sec, Elsie

WANAMAKER long
AVIATION DEVO7EE.
Today Ends Thirteen Years Of
Preparatory Work

New York. June - R-Behind
the flight OF the America that began
today are thirteen years Of plan
ming.
Rodman Wanamaker, wealthy
merchant, in whose mind the idea
Of = trans-Atlantic nonstop flight
first took shape, founded the Ameri-
can Trans-Oceanic Co.. hackers of
the flight, in 1914. But the idea
never included plans for a race
across the sea. nor competition OF
any sort.
The first postponement came when
war broke out. But In 1915 Wanna
maker was still busy with his idea,
for in that year he incorporated his
company.
In 1914 a Curtiss plane was con-
structed for the flight. Lieutenant
John Cyril Forte was selected as
pilot. The plane was turned over
to the government during the war.
After the armistics plans for the
flight were definitely resumed, with
the idea still being to demonstrate
the feasibility of a transatlantic
fight and to promote international
good will and peace. When the plan
was made public in 1913. construc-
ton Of a plane already was under
way at the factory Of the Atlantic
Aircraft Corporation in Hasbrouck
Heights, N. j.. In making his 1918
announcement. Mr.. Wanamaker said.
''The crossing Of the Atlantic by
air Is not = matter merely Of initia-
tive. nor daring, nor even skill: 1t ID
a problem Of science. Much will be
learned on the trip Of flying condi-
tons at sea: meteorological data will
be gathered and 1t is probable that
1t would be the first step in q system
of gathering such information ~ to
make air navigation safe from
weather conditions"
With further knowledge Of this
kind. and the building Of large air
planes. 1t will be possible to predict
regular trans-Atlanuc air crossings
in a reasonably short time.'
After this announcement. the
hangers at Roosevelt field were ac-
quired and the Fokker plane Ameri-
ca was completed.

EMERGENCY MEASURE
Byrd's Message To Stand By While
He Pumped Gasoline Indicates
Trouble With Compass.

Roosevelt Field, N. Y, June 20 R
Informed by the Associated Press
at 1850 a. IN. today that Commander
Richard E. Byrd had wirelessed
from the America the request for
all stations to stand by. while he
pumped" gas. Grover A. Whalen,
vice-president of the company back
ing Byrd's fight to Paris, explained
a pre-arranged plan to meet the
emergency which has developed in
the difficulty with the Americas
compass.
The Associated Press message
means that Commander Byrd Is
emptying into his main gas tanks
the gasoline he carried along In II
extra five gallon tins. This pumping
is being done by hand, and the cans,
which Commander Byrd reported
were interfering with the compasses
will be dumped overheard. While
this pumping is going on. there
would be a serious menace Of fire II
Lieut.. Neville attempted to send
wireless messages. l think 1t will
require an hour or more to complete
this pumping. During that time, We
shall probably not receive MESA es
from the America. However. the
planes automatic call, W T w, win
be sent out.

receiving bulletins coming from
Commander Byrd, and reports OF his
progress relayed from ships and
shore stations.
Wives OF the fiiers at the Garden
City Hotel received tho bulletins =

radio cupola Of the hotel. Mrs.
George O. Neville. wife Of the flight

word Of cheer from their husbands
by radio.

tins at intervals to appraise officials

pany Of Its progress. These bulle-
tins were flashed over United Press
wires from the hangar to readers
throughout the world.
"Why really now. 1t seems hard to
realize that the men actually are
gone from U.s." said Grover Whalen,
after reading one Of the bulletins at
the hangar. ''Such = short time they
