"It has been so with the locomotive and steamship, and it will be so with aircraft. Limitations may be imposed as surely by considerations of economic expediency as by the more rigid restrictions of natural laws. . . .

This is a staggering handicap. Approximately four fifths of the horsepower of a big plane is absorbed merely in maintaining the craft and its load in the air. Air transport can never contend seriously with transport by land and water, where the actual weight is carried by the earth and sea and the engine has merely to push or pull its load along. . . ."

They, like all the others, have been contaminated by the world, by ugly passions, by loud prejudices and sordid ambitions. They remain in their essential nature uninvalidated. Merely to sneer at pedagogues and dryasdusts is dangerous; it is dangerous to youth; it is in the last analysis dangerous to those living representations of the humanities who have done it most."
