Believed Forced Down.

LIE BOURGET. France, August 21 C4)
General opinion among the experts
at this great French airport, from which
the two Swiss boy aviators. Oscar Kae-
sar and Kurt Luescher, hoped on the
first stage of their transatlantic at
tempt, is that they have been forced
down at sea somewhere between the
Azores and the coast of Newfoundland.
There was general pessimism even
when they started the flight, expert
enced pilots being unable to overlook
the inexperience of the youths at long
distance flying. The lateneSs Of the
season also was hazard.
1t was pointed out that Dieudonne
Coste, the French flyer, found winds
heavily against him and was forced to
return to France in July. Late August
is a season of even stronger and more
changeable winds, with the added dam
ger Of fog of the Newfoundland coast.
Absence of radio apparatus also would
increase difficulties, as the pilot could
not pick up directions if he became lost
in the mist. Ships are few and far be-
tween on the route they chose. and II
forced to descend their chance Of rescue
would be slight.

NEW YORK, August 21.-Even
their own countrymen gave up all
but the faintest hope today for
the Swiss boy aviators who at
tempted to fly the suicide air
line" over the North Atlantic from
Europe to America.
All yesterday a group Of Swiss
nationals waited at Roosevelt
Field for their audacious but in
experienced young compatriots,
Oscar Kaesar and Kurt LueScher,
at first optimistic, then anxious,
then frankly alarmed.
The time of expected arrival
passed, the night dragged through
as the beacons blaZed their futile
effort at assistance. The hours of
today licked away without any
word from the rash youngsters
who thought they could conquer
where far better prepared expedi-
tions had failed.
Field Is Deserted.
Today Roosevelt Field was de-
serted Of watchers for the snow
white plane generally believed
sunk in the waves or broken on
some barren coast. At the Swiss
consulate heads were shaken in
diScouragement.
What can we do?" one oficial there
asked. I'VE would not know where to
begin. We have had no word at all
from our government, which is un-
doubtedly in the same predicament as
ourselves, anxious to help, but ignorant
Of any means of doing it,
There was still the faint chance that
the flyers were picked up by some little
tramp steamer unequipped with wire
less, or that they had landed in an iso-
lated region of New Foundland or Nova
Scotia. but even the most determinedly
optimistic found small solace In this
dim hope.

What hare" I said.
"Oh, don't know what hare likely

dogs began their "yo, 20, o, o, OF"

bank and hedge overhang the brook.

my mother, and just then hare wild
with fright rushed by, and made for
the plantation. On came the dogs;
they burst over the bank, leaped the
stream. and came dashing across the
field, followed by the huntsmen. Six
or eight men leaped their horses clean
over, close upon the dogs. The hare
tried to get through the fence; it was
too thick, and she turned sharp around
to make for the road, but it was too
late; the dogs were upon her with their
wild cries; we heard one shrek, and
that was the end of her. One of the
huntsmen rode up and whipped of the
dogs, who would soon have torn her

WILBUR ADVOCATES
STUDY OF BIOLOGY
Receives Too Little Attention,
Secretary Tells Educators
at Conference.

An intensive study of the theory of
evolution may ride into thee urriculums
of school systems throughout the coun-
try on the back of an enlarged study
of biology, If a proposal made by Sec
rotary of the Interior Wilbur to a
meeting of State Superintendents and
commissioners of education yesterday is
carried to full fruition in the halls Of
learning.
Addressing the second annual con-
ference of State superintsndents and
education commissioners at the Interior
Department today, Secretary Wilbur
pointed to a further teaching of BIZ
ology as one of the great needs of edu-
cation in the United States. While he
did not specifically mention evolution
by name, study Of the science of BIZ
ology includes a study of the origin OF
man.
my feeling is that biology is one of
the studies that is receiving too little
attention" DR.. Wilbur said. "Educa-
ton. after all, is not of much use UNI
less It's poSsessor knows OF life itself.
True education lies in the capacity
to see life iself Supersititions, for
example, dog the lives of most peo-
pie. They will not start on a

Where a capacity to understand the
laws that control us is developed, the
handicap of superstition is banished.
The further study of biology would &C
complish this end as well as provide an
understanding that would aid us in
more intelligent living. There should
be more of 1t, as we'll as more study OF
other sciences that help the individual
| to appreciate the world about him.
The genius of the American people
lies in its capacity to organize itself
| along the lines of its own interests.
Doctors. lawyers, business men are doing
| this and the result is that they pool the
| information in their fields that it may
be more wisely and effectively used. 1t
is wise that education should do the
same thing. 1t is matter of pride that
the peas raised by the farmer can be
harvested by machinery and travel all
the way to the sealed can without
knowing the touch of human hands
In education, mechanics should not &c
too far. What the children receive as
individuals is the important thing. II
would be great tragedy if all the peas
were turned out just alike"
Among those attending the confer
ence were DR.. Frank w, Ballou, superin-
tendent of schools for the District Of
Columbia, and nearly twoScore educa-
ton commissioners and State superin-
tendents from as many States and ter
ritories.
