MISS SCOTT WILL CONTINUE FLYING Aviatrice. 'in Air When Miss Harriet Quimby Was Killed. Still Nervy. The following article was written by ■Miss Blanche Stuart Scott, the only surviving woman flyer in the United States, the day after she had seen her as comrade. Miss Harriet Quimby, fall 1.000 feet to her death at Boston. Mi.-s Scott was in the air when Miss Quimbv took the fatal plunge.. By BLANCHE STUART SCOTT. I have just come back (from Squan tum field, where I made a flight today over the very spot where Miss Quimby and Mr. Willard met death last night. T feel pretty shaky, but I-am going to stick to the game. I flew today simply because I wanted to show them that a woman has the same kind of nerve a man has. None of tis wanted to fly very. much. We all would rather have made this a day of rest In honor of the dead. But we thought it would give people more confidence in the new science if we flew. , It was a horrible catastrophe that T can hardly get out of my mind. I was the. only one flying when Miss Quimby got back from her flight to the Bos ton Light. As I saw her coming I was filled with admiration for her wonder ful pluck. The flight to the Light is one of the most dangerous undertakings. There is no more perilous flight fn this coun try. It has only been done three times before, and then by Grahame-White and "Tommy” Sopwith. It is over twenty miles of territory that is sure death if the aviator falls If the craft is not wrecked in the. shallow water it can only land on tflny rocky islands that would utterly smash a machine Unaware of Tragedy. As 1 saw Miss Quimby skimming back toward the aviation grounds 1 was fervently glad that she was safe. When I saw her circle, over the safe ground of the field I had not the slight est doubt but that she would come down safely. I did not know she would attempt to make another circle of the course. When she was over the field she x had her craft 5,000 feet I was only '2OO feet up and I got away so that she would have plenty of room to land her big craft. I was just turning the west ern pylon with the intention of landing •when I saw the crowd all rushing for the gateway. It looked as If something unusual had happened, but I supposed that It was only the unusual interest of the crowd in Miss Quimby’s mag nificent flight. 1 finished my circle in order to land, without knowing what had happened If by any chance I had witnessed the catastrophe I have not the slightest ■doubt there would have been two ac cidents. I am sure it would have un nerved me completely In the air. , I don’t think I could have stood it. Im agine seeing a man and a woman pitch headlong out of the same kind of craft you are riving? Swoons As She Lands. By some uncanny flash of intuition I seemed to know that she was d»ad when I struck the ground As 1 was looking at the crowd on the beach some one rushed past and shouted, "Miss Quimby is killed.” For a mo ment everything went black before me. I sank back In the seat of my aero plane. When I came to my senses Mr. Martin was fanning me. Miss Quimby was one of the finest fivers in America. She had wonderful nerve. If her ability to handle the par ticular craft she was flying, when she was killed, had been equal to her nerve. 1 do not think that the accident would have caused her death. The trouble is that she had driven the craft only four or five times before she made the flight ■to the Light. It was a Speedier machine than she "as used to. When poor Mr. Willard’s body was pitched out of the craft the balance was upset. The horror of it must have unnerved her to such an ex tent that she forgot to jam her rudder up. I was the first woman in America to drive an aeroplane and I am the onlv "oman pilot left. But I am going to continue to fly.

The marvelous blind and deaf girl, dumb till now through her deafness, has not only learned to talk, but to speak in public. At the sessions of the American As sociation to Promote the Teaching of Speech in the which just closed in Providence, R. 1.. Miss Helen Keller ad dressed the delegates twice. The first day she spoke she delivered an address of three or four hundred words. It was an expression of exqui site sentiment.- "Through isolation. silence. dark ness." said Miss Keller, "I send forth a winged word: its pinions are crip pled but somehow it flies and reaches another heart." That sentence along from her speech told a story of pride and pathos, one which touched the audience infinitely. The next day Miss Keller recited a poem. She chose for Iter recitation Henley’s "I Am," that breathing of an Indomitable spirit which concludes thus: "I am the master of my fate. 'I am the Captain of my soul.” There was none in the audience but who realized that the lines applied with peculiar force to the blind and deaf girl who had mastered speech at fearful odds. Professor J. W. White, of the New- England Conservatory of Music, who has been giving Miss Keller lessons in speech twice a week all the spring, is delighted beyond words. Speech Now Clear. He, has told friends that Miss Keller speaks so as* to be understood, though at first none but Mrs. John Macey, with, whom she lives, could get her spoken meaning. For years Miss Keller has conveyed her thoughts only by the "finger talk.” She would tap her sensitive, finger tips on Mrs. Macey's wrist and the latter would talk back to the girl the same way. It is utterly impossible, for Miss Keller to hear. So the tremendous dif ficulty of teaching her to talk is ap parent. The girl’s vocal organs are sound and normal. The trouble was that she did not know how to use them. She did not know how to shape her lips and how to enunciate. She could make the vocal sounds, but could not make them rightly. Professor White went down to Wren tham twice -a week. Sometimes Miss Keller came to Professor White's studio for vocal expression in Boston. The lessons were pursued patiently. That is the way she has learned. And she was pitifully eager to learn to talk. Speech Comes at Last. Finally speech came. At first it was "clouded.” so to speak. Only Mrs. Ma cey could really understand her. But the girl overcame that. Her articu lation became more clear and firm. She practiced incessantly. It was felt that her first appearance in public should be before a body of those who have been associated w-ith the deaf. In the first place, they could more readily understand Miss Keller. In the next place, they have a warm and per sonal interest, as teachers of the deaf MAIL TRAIN MAKES RECORD OF 30 DAYS ON SCHEDULE TIME CHICAGO, July 4.—The Chicago.

THURSDAY, *ll LY 4. 1912. and dumb, in the famous Helen Keller. Miss Keller 'prepared carefully her brief speech. Standing on the platform at the Providence meeting the girl talketj to her audience. Here Is what she said in her first public address: Miss Keller’s Address, Dear Friends —I can not tell you what a pleasure it is to me to be with you once more. . Nor can I thank you too warmly for your continued interest in me. I remem ber well the bright June day that I spoke before you at Mt. Airy six teen years ago. How strange and "like a dream it all. seems! That day I used my defective, baiting voice to urge that every deaf child should be taught to speak. Today my voice is still defective and halt ing: but I lift it, imperfect as it is. In praise of the work of the as sociation. Your progress rejoices me. and such progress as I have made is valuable to me because it reinforces and proves your work. It has always been a joy to be able to speak. True, it Is poor speech. True, only a few near friends understand me readily. Nevertheless, whgt speech I hav.e has meant morg to.nye than I can ever say. My words are lame and broken: but they bind me to the world of men and women. Through isolation, silence, darkness, I send forth a winged word: its pinions are crippled, but somehow it flies and reaches another heart. With the first word that unloosed my tongue began a greater fullness of life. Before that I had been happy *" when a flutter of the fingers opened to me a small part of the world I was exploring. But the spoken word —that mighty, thought-quick ening power—flung back the gates and gave me a wider access to the \ world of knowledge and compan ionship.. Praises Her Instructor. It Is a pleasure and a privilege to introduce to this association Mr. White, who is w-orking to improve my speech. I am glad to be the bond that unites his art. his skill to yours. He will explain to you what he has been trying to do for my voice, and you can judge how well he has succeeded; for of that I have no right to speak. I must tell you, however, in his presence that the lessons he has given me have, been, despite all difficulties, a continuous delight and Inspiration. You can judge if my' speech Is clearer. I know that, thanks to him, I am free from much of the discomfort, tension and anxiety that used to hamper me. I wish this association godspeed in its endeavof-s to open the lips of the deaf. Every time I open my mouth I shall think to myself, “I must speak well: I will speak well; for my success will encourage you to go forward, touching silent lips' and setting free mute voices." I am proud to present to the teach ers of the deaf my teacher who has taught many to fill the world with beautiful sounds, and who has now become your colleague In the difficult art of making the speech of the deaf not beautiful, perhaps, but clear.
