Charles A. Lindbergh in flying from
New York to Paris without q stop,
av1ators in this country are now
seeking new air worlds to conquer.
strangely enough there are not a
great many new flights left-that is,
flights that would appeal to the
imagination az has Lindbergh's and
that would 90 down into history as
epoch-making accomplishments.
But, just the same, new air adj
ventures are being conceived, and at
no distant date one, several or all Of
the following may be attempted:
4. A flight from the Pacific Coast
to Honolulu.
2; a flight from the Pacific Coast
to Japan.
9. Pacific Coast to Philippine
Islands.
4. Pacific Coast to Australia.
8. A nonstop flight over the North
Pole. between Spitzenbergen and
Alaska, In heavier.than-air ma
chine.
9. A flight over the south Pole.
z. A transcontinentaI nonstop
flight to lower the record OF Mac
ready and Kelly, established in 1921.
3. An attempt to break the endur-
ance flying record recently estab-
lshed by Chamberlin and Acosta.

SUPT. HOLMES DISLIKES
TO USE "OLD BURRITT"
Believes It Is Not Suited Even For
Temporary Occupancy For
Daily Classes

That the old Burritt school at the
corner of Main and East Main
streets has long outlived its useful
ness as an educational center, and
that it is not satisfactory even for
temporary use were some Of the
facts brought out by supt. S. H.
Holmes in review of school condi-
tons today.
The school is one of the Oldest in
service little or no improvements
the city and despite its length of
have been made on it since it was
constructed in 1870.
This makeshift system will not
help US accomplish much in caring
for school needs and in bringing
back the old Burritt school we do
not deserve congratulations for ap-
parent economy" he said referring
to the school boards recent decision
to hold classes in the school which
was once abandoned.
Mr.. Holmes feels, that conditions
at present have shown improvement
especially in the elementary school,
but the junior high school situation
is worse than it has been for some
time.
The worse situation is in the
Northend and Monroe school Sec
tons but with the completion of the
Robert J. Vance school only the
Northend school will be in a bad
way, Mr.. Holmes believes.
