...Merrill began his lecture with a brief history of the development of the aeroplane, which is the only practical method of the three employed to elevate a heavier-than-air machine. The other two the use of vertical screws and the oscillation of wings, involve almost insoluble questions of stability. No progress was made in aeroplanes until Langley showed that the estimation of power necessary to lift a given weight was erroneous. Maxim took up the Work of Langley and contrived to lift 8,000 pounds by the proper balancing of horizontal planes. Lielienthal, a German scientist, attacked the problem...
...warp the ends of their planes in such a way as to apply a downward force on the elevated side. To minimize the danger of pitching forward and thus gain fore and aft stability, the horizontal rudder, rigged either in front or behind the machine, is the most effective method which has up to the present time been found...

He places the responsibility on the player; each man must work out for himself the rules which Haughton gives him--each man has his own method for accomplishing the desired effect, but he is, at the same time, carefully watched by the coaches to see that this end is accomplished. The work...
