...theory. Does our author vociferate that the moderns are right and that the older method of hammering knowledge into resistant minds is the only true one? "The Teacher's Dilemma" never raised its tone above politeness, and yet it is of more value than much arguing. The same genial spiral marks the discussion of such other matters as efficiency, genius, reconstruction, bolshevism, and what not. All this is both to say that we have here a volume of essays in the best tradition, marked by sympathy, quiet humor, and keen judgment, expressed in a style as nearly perfect...
...forward passer, he has few if any equals. In the two games that the Purple has played this fall, he threw a score of forward passes that were caught and only two that were incompleted. It is a common occurrence for him to hurl a spiral pass 30 yards right into the hands of a player running at top speed. Joslyn and Codding, the Williams ends, are experts at catching the pigskin and should prove to be dangerous to the Crimson in an aerial offense. In addition, Hibbard, the fullback, and McLean and Binger, the halfbacks, are clever runners...
...have completely lost sight of the aerodrome. I've lost sight of Tom, also. Engine off, nose down, spiral, look all over the sky for Tom. I see him going down.

...metre Nieuport, single control. This was the last type of machine he had flown at Avord and it is the first type taken up at this school. After a few short flights to demonstrate his ability and to learn the machine, he was sent up for practice in spiraling. For this you ascend to 1,000 metres and from that altitude you spiral down to 600 metres where you stop the spiral and descend to the ground in normal and wide turns. He commenced his spirals normally, but, when at 600 metres, he did not stop. At about this altitude...
...11th have at last been received in this country. As was known, Meeker was flying alone when the accident occurred, but according to the latest report his engine did not stall as was stated at first. After having reached a height of about 3,000 feet he undertook to spiral towards the ground. When a few hundred feet from earth he should have righted the machine and planed down, but either because he lost control of the machine, or became dizzy or ill, he failed to do so and plunged to the ground at a speed of an hundred miles...
