Twenty students tnilny jjUicd a new
course In oointnereinl nvintlon hmiisur
flteil nt Ponnnylvnniii Military College,
Chester, Pn. This course includes
nctunl flylrj; in n Curtiss blplnne.
This is the first college in the United
Stales to include the science rtf lljiiiR I"
its curriculum. A landing field has been
secured two miles north ot Chester, near
the Spring Haven Country Club. The
biplane is one of the latest tpes used
for training purposes, The cotire w 111
be conducted by Lieutenant Theodore
II. Cowee, of. the nlu service, I'nited
Stairs army.
Many Itciitoiis for Course
Hensons for giving the course nr
summed up as follows by the o!legc
officials:
That the world has entered upon a
genuine era of air transportation, both
freight and passenger, and that the
science of acronuutlcs can no longer be
neglected by the higher Institutions of
learning.
That, if America hopes to compete
Jn the world -air commerce of the
almost-immediate future, she must train
a host of men to become iiitimutely
ni'ouainted with conditions aloft. I
That the great explorations of the
near future lie along the air i-hnnnelo
riielrt-llne the clobe. and that no col
lege can afford to be behind in this
field,
TJAt in a comparatively short time
aerial passenger service will demand n
lnrgn number of trained (I'ipis.
That in a brief time Europe and
America will be connected byt several
swift lines of planes and airships.
That airplane-shipped goods will be
common enough In two or three years
hence.
Careful Fliers Needed
That the recent war trained a num
ber of good tilers, but not a sufficient
number to meet the demand of the near
future. Also, these men trained under
war conditions. The demand now is
for careful fliers, who can meet the
commercial need of the pence era.
In the course students will be given
practical work on the machine, as well
as observation. The study will include
the nomenclature, care, operation,
construction and repair of the modem
airplane. Kach will reccic two hours'
actual flying time.
Later in the jear a course in pilot
ing the machine will be instituted. Then
students will be given a thorough train
ing in the control ot the airplane,
milking flights in company with Lieu
tenant Cowee. This training will mean
study of aerial navigation, meteorology
and the actual functioning of the ma
chine. Roth courses will be conducted
in a conservative 'manner, thereby en
tailing a minimum risk for students.
Lieutenant Cowee will personally
serve as pilot for all flying in the pri
mary course.

No matter how sore and tender your bun
