AIR FAILURE

The recent nonstop transcontinental air race
from New York to Los Angeles an admitted fizzie
1t was supposed to be nonstop flight and every
plane entering the contest stopped on the way Only
one arrived of the fine fleet-the pick of the countrys
aircraft-and it was disqualified by failure to meet
the conditions.
Fortunately there tragedy. Yet in view
of the expectations raised such fizze was almost
tragic.
To tell the plain truth. aviation has not been doing
so we'll lately, far and other spectacular
efforts concerned The year has been full Of fail
ures, many of them involving loss of life After last
years achievements, this year to be year of
derful progress. 1t has not lived up anticipation.
Many skilled pilots and many fine planes have been
lost. Many hopes have failed of realization.
All this, however, has been in the realm of mara
thon racing and other competitive and spectacular ad
ventures. In the regular, humdrun work of general
aviation, in the carrying of passengers. mail and
freight by air. in the spread of the art of flying
and of all classes, there has been remark
able progress.
This progress, it should be observed, has been
made mostly without any blare Of trumpets, and with
out taking abnormal avoidabe risks. The airplane
vehicle soberly doing the days work in the hands
of careful and competent pilot has proved its
fulness. And this is the main thing.

Dairy Indu stry
Thriving; High
Prices Prevail

According to Secretary Hays, of
the chamber of commerce, butter
fat with the local premium added,
brings the local dairymen 5412 cents
per pound, an almost unprecedented
high price for the month of Septem.
Der. The price this year has been
consistently high, running generally
four or five cents over that of last
season.
Manager f. w. Lott, of the I'm.
pcrial Valley Milk Producers, has
2iven Hays some interesting his.
tory on buttcrfat prices. September
prices during the war time and dur.
ing the succeeding reconstruction
period averaged, as follows:
1917, 1913 cents; 1918, 5399
cents; 1919, 69.sl cents; 1920, 72.30
cents; 1927, 47.6l cents.

TALKING IN SCHOOL

The pupils IN the st. Louis schools this year
expected to do most of the talking If the supern-
tendens plan is applied literally, they will do 80 per
cent of it The teacher is to be allowed only 20 per
cent of the class period for vocal instruction.
This sounds like good pedagogy. Nothing is more
futile than talking to- children for hour at
time Every intelligent person knows that, though
intelligent teachers full of their subjects sometimes
forget it. Lecturers sound fine, but don't often put
much from the speakers mind to the hearers.
Discussion, in which both sides take part is better
making minds alert and subjects more interest
ing Facts brought out by give-and-take process are
likely to be remembered
Making pupils play teacher is also good. What
a person tells somebody else he at least usually gets
clearly in mind.

and a hundred who have listened and see what they
have preserved of the evenings instruction and amuse-

to ask that the amount recently al

allowed the band $500, which is
S263.50 less than the three mill tax
provided in the charter. The past
year, however, the council included
the three mills in the budget and for
