but rs per cent of the boys and girls
were not identified with any sort OF
school whatsoever.
The man of the hour was found In
the person of Col. William Winston
Seaton, who had served nine terms as
mayor of Washington. He led and
directed the clamor for reform. He Sc
cured the assistance of such men as
John Quincy Adams and Edward Ever
EFT Hale. True. it was not until years
later that legislative relief was Sc
cured. and emergency measures such
as the establishment of schools in
churches were resorted to temporarily.
but the plans for a competent school
system. assured of financial stability
through per capita taxation, began to
take shape shortly after Col. Seaton
arose to champion the cause of the
Districts public school children.
Difficult as it may be for us to con-
ceive, it was from such disheartening
beginnings that our present-day. city
wide, up-tc-date system of schools
evolved. a system which, In most re-
spects is worthy of the city and the
confidence placed in it by public Of
ficials.

rally risky to load land plane to its
full pay load and with from six to
ten times its designed load of gas and
oil and start off for some other con-
tinent. The motor may be willing but
is weak The reason these pioneers
in long distance travel do this is be-
cause there are no landing fields
along the way. Roughly speaking
there are only two landing spots in
the world that are larger than neces-
sary for seaplanes-the Atlantic and
! the Pacific oceans. There are no land
ing fields in the United States too
large for land planes and there never
will be.
If those interested in aviation here
will find a field anywhere within a
few miles of Flagstaff, and get the
spot cleared, they will have accom-
plished the first step in getting Flag
staff on the air maps. Then work fol-
a hangar, service station, and landing
lights later. The field should be a
mile square if possible, or runways in
eight or six or even four directions
from smooth central point would do
for while. AS ship must land and
take off against the wind, it is better
to have eight runways. Then the land
between the runways could be
smoothed up later.
The army air service has very will
ingly cooperated with Tucson, furnish
ing two steel hangers, one at each OF
the present fields. A sergeant and
mechanic of the army air service are
stationed there to service ships at all
times. Flagstaff will have the same
help no doubt. when it has its field
Suitable land for field might be
found on the mesa northeast of town
or south of the Santa Fe tracks be-
tween here and Cliffs station. Even
Doney Park would not be too far
away. A small valley between two
hills is not suitable, as there will oft
en- be descending currents of air flow
ing down over the hills that will make
it difficult to gain sufficient elevation
to clear them in leaving. The land
does not necessarily need to be level.
1t should be smooth, and not slope up
ward toward the south and west where
the prevailing winds are from.
By all means build as good a field
as possible as soon as may be, and
then tell the world about it. Then
when a plane is sighted heading this
way see that it lands here. If it tries
to pass over, put up a barrage as q
last resort. Get the cooperation OF
the local national guard unit if neces-
sary. 1t would hardly be right to do
this until there is field however.
And then when Flagstaff has become
air-minded even the little kids and the
old timers will recognize the various
types of planes as far as they can
see them; the army Douglas trans
port and observation, the D-H, the
C-2, the Naval O-U Vought ship, the
Ford IL passenger cruiser, the Ryan
monoplane, Travelair, Eaglerock,
Waco. international, Lincoln, Stand
ard, Hamilton, Boeing and the count
less other makes. Let's get airminded.

The Man Who Talks Through His
Neck.
On display at the exhibition is the
latest invention-a telephone for use
in noise-fflled rooms. The speaker
fixes, the nicrophone not in front of
his mouth, but as tightly as possible
to his neck. Sound is produced by
mechanical and not air waves.
The words that come from the
speakers mouth are. drowned by the
noise in the room, but the invention
catches the metallic vibrations in the
throat, and the sounds and words
are conveyed to the person at the
other end of the line
The result is that although there
might be sosmuch noise in the room
that a person two feet away could not
hear the man speaking a listener 200
miles away could.
