STUNT FLYER DIES
IN TAIL-SPIN CRASH
Herb Bassett, Substituting for
Italian War Ace, Killed in
Mississippi.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
JACKSON, Miss, March 23.-Herb
Bassett, 26-year-old former Colorado
cowboy who traded his chaparejos for
a parachute in 1927 to support his
widowed mother, plunged to death
today while substituting for a fellow
"stunter" in an air circus.
A small crowd Of spectators watch
ing the aerial transformers saw Bas.
sett fight in vain to escape as the
plane went into a tail spin and
crashed. His parachute became en-
tangled In the struts Of the ship
and failed to open.
The stunter's body, badly broken,
was found near the demolished plane.
Bassett was filling in for Lilo Ben
venuti, Italian war ace, who was too
Ill to perform.
The plane was flying at an altitude
of 1000 feet when the crowd saw
the right wing suddenly snap as Bas-
sett pulled out of a spin. The motor
was cut of and many spectators be-
lleved that it was only a part of the
show. Utterly out of control, the
small plane rolled over and over be-
fore 1t crashed.

eight-room brick structure, on o
street between Wisconsin avenue and
Thirty-third street, which was erected
In 1875 at q cost of nearly 500, 900.
And this, too. when q dollar had q
purchasing power several times what
it has today. From the beginning

for the Peabody Library and the
Linthicum Institute, and the prop

school was named for w. w. Curtis,
an early president Of the Board Of
Trustees Of the Georgetown Public
Schools.
TEACHING school in the District
Of Columbia in the distant past
sometimes had its unusual require
ments without its just compensation,
and many Of the school masters had
to perform other duties on the side
to make ends meet. One Of these.

his hand at inventing, and carried
on as . farmer. . shoemaker, a

and so, in September. 1888, according
to Jackson's Chronicles of Georgetown,
We find this principal, a Mr.. Craig.
who taught boys, being allowed S. to
purchase instruments for pulling
teeth.
THE extraction Of teeth" we are
, told, was notta punishment. but
the toothache was such q common
excuse for neglect Of lessons and
for non-attendance at school. that
Mr. Craig came to the conclusion that
the removal Of the offending member
was the best way Of maintaining
discipline And it was astonishing, >
said the trustee who explained this
entry. to see the business he did!
Odontalgia became so contagious or
fashionable that Mr.. Craig soon filled a

Wisconsin Avenue Manual Training
School. To the writer this site has
its particular charm, since here was
located, in 1896, q large, two-story log
house with frame attached. unto which
his great-great-grandfather, John
Hines, and family moved about six
years after they came to the District
of Columbia. This property he sold
in December, 1899. to Mr.. Kalden-
bach. and temporarily moved to F
street northwest. between Twenty
third and Twenty-fourth streets, in
Washington City, and shortly aft
erward to the block bounded by D and
E and Twenty-first and Twenty-sec-
ond streets. Prior to selling his
Georgetown residence he had pur-
chased of william Thompson, Esq.
in 1898, building lot on the south
side of F street between Tenth and
Eleventh streets northwest. Here he
erected dwelling in 1900 and occupied
it the same year. 1t being the first
house erected In that block. Oppo-
site where his home then stood Is
now the department store Of Wood
ward g. Lothrop.
Today Georgetown can boast Of the
oldest school house In the District Of
Columbia, erected in 1911 as a result
of the introduction in New York, in
1906, of the Lancasterian system OF
education, which had its inception
with DR.. Andrew Bell, Scotsman. in
1887, and perfected by Joseph Lancas-
ter at later date.
This early school house. now and
for many years past q private resi-
dence, at 1926 o street, was built as
q result Of a memorial to the Corpora
ton of Georgetown, dated October
20, 1910. 1t is of further historic
interest since on November 10, 1917,
a meeting was held here for the
purpose of organizing a new Episcopal
church, which became Christ Church
Parish, Georgetown. The meeting was
attended, among others. by Francis
Scott Key, author Of 1.-THE Star
Spangled Banner; Thomas Henderson,
a distinguished naval surgeon, and
ScU. MCIOIlU, tiicil VIC CoihuldAuAA6
general Of the Army.
Here George Dashiell became the
first teacher and, as shown in
report published October 8, 1911, he
proved a very successful and COM
petent instructor, and 1t was he who
suggested a similar school in Wash
ington. However, for some obscure
reason, Mr.. Dashien was succeeded
by Robert Ould, who was sent out by
Mr.. Lancaster to take charge Of this
school, and it was not long before he
had as many as $50 pupils, all in q
single room, although q few years
later, in report dated November 8,
1915, it was stated that Georgetown
has built commodious and COM
Portable house for the Lancasterian
School, in which more than 500 chill
dren are taught, and from which in
structors have been sent forth and
are now disseminating education from
this alma mater throughout the United
States"
But Georgetown was not without
its fine school buildings in days gone
by, such as the Curtis School, an
