THE "GAP BETWEEN REIGNS."

OUR SCHOOLMASTER
(Exchange.)
A proneßH In refer to President Wil
son as a "schoolmaster" la noticeable
ill the debates at Washington.
11 is opponents can cast no odium
on Woodrow Wilson by calling him a
"schoolmaster." Were there no other
reason, the great service President
Wilson has rendered Ids country In one
short year of .administration makes
any epithet applied to him recoil on
those who fling It.
He lias liberated American business
and emancipated the American people
from the inequities and Injustices of
n monstrous tariff. He has freed
American credit from one man domi
nation and restored It to the hands of
the sovereign American people. He
lias given tils country and countrymen
a banking system that by all the tes
•tniony available Is a trumph for a
free people In a free country. It is a
system that parties and conventions
of parties, that congresses and com
mittees of congresses tried 111 vain for
nearly a generation to produce, but
one that for framing nml enactment
had to wait for Woodrow Wilson and
the present Congress.
Hut there Is another reason why any
attempt to make the word "school
master" a term of contempt will be
forever futile. Ten of the twenty
eight president* of the United States
were former schoolmasters. Teaching
was ttic life work of President Oar
field. Others among the presidents
who at one time or another engaged in
teaching were John Q. Adams. James
Madison, Millard Fillmore, Franklin
Pierce. Chester A Arthur. Orover
Cleveland. William McKinley and
William H. Taft.
it Is an honorable roll Woodrow
Wilson has traveled In good company
In passing from the school room to the
presidency.
It Is as honorable to be a teacher as
to be president Every school house is
a temple, and every teacher a toller
for civilisation. To build a school
house Is to construct a fort for the de
fense of the republic. Every school
library is an arsenal filled with weap
ons und ammunition for upbuilding the
nation and its honor.
Let no man point the finger of con
tempt at the grand army of teachers.
Let no gentleman believe that he can
stigmatize Woodrow Wilson by call
ing him a "schoolmaster."

THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA..
One hundred and twenty years ago
today the balloon made its first suc
cessful appearance as an engine of
war. It was at the battle of Fleurus
during the French Revolution. It was
this balloon that enabled the revolu
tionists to win the battle and subs' -
quentl.v establish the French Republic.
At sunrise of this day tile Inigo silken
bag, Inflated with hydrogen, was tug
ging at Its anchor ropes in the French
Republican camp. The opening of the
battle was a signal for General Morlot
to climb Into tile basket. The soldiers
slowly let out the cable until the bal
loon and aeronaut rose high above the
battlefield. Reneatb him lay the ene
my's lines In full view. While the
balloon gently eddied in the breeze,
AFTER THE WEDDING
AN ILLUSTRATED STORY OF THE WAY A HOME
WAS MADE.
Tom walked nervously up and down
In the reception room of the hospital.
Me had been there since daylight,
watting and wondering and hoping
that everything would be all right. Al
ways looking anxiously toward the
door for one of the nuraes to come in
and say that the little stranger had
arrived and that he could go up and
see Jennie at last. There was one
other man in the reception room. Tom
had not noticed him before, but now
saw that this man was nervously fin
gering his hat brim, then he would go
and look out of tt\e window- with his
hand clenching and relaxing. Sud
denly he turned to Tom as ts he was
going to sreak. then thought better of
It and looked out of the window again.
Tom walked up lo him and extended
hla hand. And In that handshake
there was that mutual, silent under
standing that comes to few men and
was the beginning of a Itfe-long
friendship. "The last one we had died,
and ita mother nearly died, too, hut
you'll pardon me, please. I’m a bit
THEN AND NOW
“Oh, I'm so happy”
Morlot drew a sketch of the enemy's
strategic position and then tossed it
overboard in a heavy flag—bedecked
package. Thus every move of the foe
was reported to the. commander-in
chief on the ground below during the
ten hours in which the balloon remain
ed aloft. The commander’s questions,
written out and attached to a cord
that hung from the balloon, were haul
ed up by the aeronaut and quickly
answered. The idea of using a bal
loon in warfare had been conceived,
but not used, twelve years before, at
the siege of Gibraltar. At that time
Joseph Montgolfeir, who later made
the world's first successful i assenger
carrying balloon, proposed “to intro
duce into Gibraltar an entire army,
unstrung and haven’t slept for a
week."
AH this ihe n an said in a very dis
jointed manner, but Tom understood
thoroughly. Finally a nurse came to
the door and beckoned to the man As
he was going out Tom heard the nurse
say everything was fine and that it
was a boy. As the door rinsed again
all Tom could think of was what the
man hud said to him. and he silently
prayed that everything would he ail
right with Jennie.
Then Jennie’s nurse came in and told
hint that now he could go tap and see
his wife. Tom was dazed and hardly
realized what he was doing aa he
walked along the corridor. The nurse
opened the door of Jennie's room, and,
after Tom went in. cloaed tt azatn.
leaving them alone, except for a little
pink face lying curled up In Jenrle’s
arm. As Tom leaned over to klsa her,
Jennie whispered, "Oh, Tin so happy;
It's u GIRI-" —H. C.
To Be Continued
I which borne by the wind and a gas,
will enter right above the heads pf the
j enemy.” But the siege was raised be-
I fore his idea could be demonstrated.
Today airships constitute one of the
i most important factors in modern war
i fare. All the great world powers
have equipped their armies with fleets
of areoplanes and dirigible ballooons,
and scientists are bending every- en
ergy toward Inventing new explosives
and perfecting means of hurling them
from the clouds with greeter accuracy
Some authorities even predict that the
next great war will be fought in the
clouds by squardrons of airships. To
day American aviators are scouting
over the demolines around Vera Cruz,
and are demonstrating their marvelous
utility. Equipped with the latest de
vices the ultra-modern army scout can
fly over the enemy's country, sketch or
photograph the topography of the land
below the frost, cities and troop po
sitions. By wireless telegraph he can
send hack the information to his head
quarters miles away. With the mod
ern rapid fire gun lie ran defend him
self with a stream of bullets. Or tat
can drop high explosive bombs from
his own-raft, scattering death whe.re
ever it strikes—a year ago it was re
ported a Mexle rebel aeronaut dropped
a bomb that killed 52 soldiers instantly.
If at night, the aeronaut cand drop a
star bomb that explodes and shades
a lasting and radiant light on the
spot lie is hovering over. To escape
from the new aerial guns designed
to fight airships, the modern aeronaut
can drop the new German bomb that
spreads a dense, heavy pall of smoke
between north and airship and thus
permit the aviator to escape. Or he
can drop another kind which gives
off a poisnous gas capable of killing
every living thing within 100 yeards.

entitled " How to Write a Moving Pic

a statement of the importance of im
aginative powers in all such work and
tells the following story of an un
imaginative and therefore unsuccess
ful newspaper reporter:
“A newspaper reporter was assigned
to write up a wedding; but when he
went to the church there wasn’t any
wedding, as the bridegroom had not
appeared. So the reporter hurried
back to the office without his ‘story.’
He did not hgve the imagination to
see that a greater 'story' lay back of
the fact that the wedding had been
postponed ”
