The | United States Naval Academy has be- come the largest aeronautical school || in the world. By the time its four (| classes are fully enrolled next Autumn | roundly 1,500 midshipmen will be un- dergoing training in the science of fiying. The Navy has now adopted the fixed principle that every one of its officers shall bg “air-minded” and || air-taught. i Annapolis does not seek to qualify || its students as actual aviators. It is rather bent upon inculcating in naval graduates an understanding of the fundamentals of on as a part of their general na ucation. What || the academy is aiming to do, in fact, || is to ground Uncle Sam’s future ad- || mirals in the A, B, Cs of the flying game in precisely the same way as Byrd perfected himself in them be- fore he flew across the North Pole |! and the Atlantic. i Summarize “Byrd System.” The academy authorities summarize the “Byrd system” of aviation educa- || \ tion now in vogue as follows: \ " “No attempt is made, or intended, "to qualify any individual as an avia- tor any more than to make an ensign || the navigator of a battleship because he has had a course in navigation. | The aviation course at 'Annapolis bears similar relation to a geueral service foundation as do the courses || in gunnery, engineering, navigation, || stc. There is included in the academic course certain theoretical work in con- | nection with the fundamentals of avia- | | tion both from the point of view || of material and operation, but thiy is only preparatory in the same way that trignometry is preparatory to astronomy and navigation. Course Is Outlined. The course consists of the follow- ing subjects and number of hours | +in each with an additional hour of study preparatory to every hour of recitation: Aviation history, 3 hours; theory of flight, 8 hours; structure and rigging, 20 hours; aviation engines, 34 hours; radio instruments, 20 hours; alvcraft ~communications, 3 hours; aerology, $ hours; navigational in- struments, 3 hours; aerial navigation, 26 hours; aerial gunnery, 16 hours; aerial bombing, 10 hours; range gun- nery, 24 hours; scouting, 27 hourgx: practical work in the air in observer's duties respectively as mechanic, gun- ner, radioman and navigator, 2% hours each. There is radio, code prac- tice, and the student officer must learn “procedure” and spend enough time on this subject to receive code 49c Dryad Napkins With This 26 c Coupon and 69¢c Bath Salts With This 39¢ Whisk Brooms With This Coupon and 35¢ Cold Cream With this ‘oupon and 10c Rinso With This Coupon and Dryad Sanitary Napkins, wupeor Sreder roll e : . with this couron only.— 1y soluble: ‘one dozen in jar.

Nothing could show more graphical- ly the absorbing interest the Navy now takes in aviation than the cur- rent July “United States Naval In- stitute Proceedings.” Almost the en- tire contents are devoted to fiying matters, There's no trace of the Navy's alleged jealousy of the Army because of recent epoch-making fly- ing ‘achievements by Army-trained aviators. Whole pages of pictures and comment are given Col. Lindbergh and | Clarence Chamberlin. It's evident that in August the “Proceedings” will be no less enthusiastic over the feat of Lieuts. Maitland and Hegen- berger in accomplishing for the Army what the ill-starred Comdr. Rodgers tried and failed to achleve for the Navy on the California-Hawali flight. The Navy realizes, perhaps more fully than others, what Lindbergh had to overcome and what made his trans- atlantic flight successful. Naval ex- perts declare that *he most striking thing in “Lindy's" epoch-making achievement was his “dead reckoning navigational ability” On this score i the “United States Naval Institute |, Proceedings™ say: 1 “Enthusiastic air companions have || testified that Col. Lindbergh has a sixth sense, likening it to that of the || homing pigeon. Be that as it may. || naval officers the world over read with sympathetic understanding Lind- bergh’s account of his land-fall and his hail to the fishing boats asking |i if he ‘was on the right road to Ire- land’ and his subsequent thoughts to himself that in making up his mind ‘it was Ireland . . . rather than Spain or some other country, the rest was child’s play.'” (Copyright. 1927.) seat.
