Simultaneously it was learned here that Uw British Air Ministry "proposes to build two new airships fifty per cent, larger than' any existing and capable of carrying 200 passengers at speed of 90 miles an hour. The proposed dirigibles would be 1.000 feet long and carry 7,500,000 cui.ic l>et of lifting gas. Th? Air Ministry's plans caused little surprise, in view of charges that the R-100 and its recently completed sister ship, the R-101, would not ful- fill expectations.

But the street, a few bedrooms and a living room provide poor school- ing for working-men's children. In- deed, unless unusual care is taker, small homes, ignorant parents, and unhealthy streets provide just the kind of schooling to teach unintelli- gent and intelligent children to mud- dle along with habits which recognize no delight in order or in discipline, in clarity or expression or in knowledge.
