NIISS SCOTT WILL
CONTINUE FLONG
Aviatrice, in Air When Miss
Harriet Quimby Was Killed,
Still Nervy.
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
air comrade. Miss Harriet Quimby, fall
1,000 feet to her death at Boston. Miss
Scott was in the air when Miss Quimby
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 us 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 I
can hardly get out-of my rrtind. 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 In this coun
try. It has onfly been done three times
before, and then by Grahame-White
and ‘'Tommy” Sopwlth. It is over
twenty miles of territory that is sure
death If the aviator falls. If the craft
1s not wrecked In the shallow water it
can only land on Wny rocky islands
that would utterly smash a machine
Unaware of Tragedy.
As I saw Miss Quimby skimming
back toward the aviation grounds I
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 ehe was over the field she had
her craft 5,000 feet high. I was only
200 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-,
'em 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
es the crowd in Miss Quimby's mag
nlfloent flight.
I finished my circle In order to land,
■without knowing what had happened
Ts by any chance I had witnessed the
catastrophe I have not the slightest
•doubt there would have been two ac
cidents. I am sure 1t would have urn
(nerved me completely in the air. I
udowl think I could have stood It. Im
laglne seeing a man and a woman pitch
theadlong out of the same kind of craft
<vou are flying?
Swoons As She Lands.
By some uncanny flash of intuition
I seemed to know that she was dead
when I struck the ground As I 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
fliers tn America. She had wonderful
nerve. If her abiMty to handle the par
ticular craft she was flying, when she
was killed, had been.equal to her nerve,
I do not think that the accident would
have caused her death. The trouble is
that she had driven the craft only four
" r five times before she made the flight
'to the Light.
It was a *peedier 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
onve an aeroplane 4nd I am the only
-oman pilot left But lam going to

HELEN KELLER AMAZES
TEACHERS’ GATHERING
BY A PU BLIC SPEECH
MISS HELEN KELLER—PubIic
Speaker! 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 Deaf, which just closed 10
Providence, R. 1., Miss Helen Keller ad
dressed the delegates twice.
The first day she spoke she delivered
an address of three or Jour hundred
words. It was an expression* of exqui
site sentiment. .
"Through isolation, silence. dark
ness," said Miss Keller. "1 send forth
a winged word: its pinions are crip
pled but somehow it file? 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 her 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 Jias 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 hereto 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 JVren
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 with 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

and dumb, in the famous Helen Keller.
Miss Keller prepared carefully her
brief speech. Standing on the platform
at the Providence meeting the girl
talked to her audience. Here Is what
she said in heY first public address:
Miss Keller’s Address.
Dear Friends —I can not tell you
what a pfeasure it is to me to be
with you once more. Nor van 11
thank you too warmly for your
continued interest in me. I remem
ber well the bright June das’- that I
spoke before you at Mt. Airy six
teen years ago. How strange aqd
like a dream it all seems! That
day I used my defective, halting
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 1 have
made is valuable to me because it
reinforces and proves your work.
It has always been a Joy to >e
able to speak. True, it is poor
speech. True, only a few near
friends understand me readily.
Nevertheless, what speech I have
has meant more to me 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 working 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 mu<W of the
discomfort, tension and anxiety
that used to hamper me.
I wish this association godspeed
in its endeavors to open the lips of
the deaf. Every time I open my
mouth I shall think to myself, "1
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.
