 IN THIS CITY
Jacques Neyvattc Opens the First School of Aviation, Has Machine Under Con struction and Three Pupils Already Enrolled

Phoenix has an aviation school Its faculty is Jacques Neyvatte an avia- tor of international reputation. erst- while reporter and proofreader for the Republican. It is the first school of it's kind established or even pro iccted for the southwest, and it's sue cess seems assured for three pupils have already been enrolled, a par tiaUy constructed tractor bi-plane is ready for the finishing touches and the engine to drive the big machine aloft is already ready for shipment.
 The course in aviation afforded by Neyvatte is calculated to fit the stu dent for exhibition flights and for the awarding of Aero Club of Ameri- ca licenses Not less than six weeks will be required to make of the no vice an expert birdman and the pu- pills enrolling at this time will have the added advantage of the eXper- fence gained through the construction of an aeroplane
 The machine now under course Of construction in Phoenix, under the supervision of Neyvatte is of the bi- plane type. with the engine and pro pellor in front eliminating the danger attendant upon some machiens in ef-
 
 ted with the Curtiss type of control and the Farman ailerons or balanc- ing devices. which type is generally conceded to he the safest type of machine in use today.
 The engine will be of siXty-five horse power. capable of lifting the machine with pilot and passenger II has multiple ignition. with all con trol- double wired insuring absolute control at all times and guaranteed to develop speed of seVenty-nEe miles an hour.
 Neyvatte holds a pilots license from the Federation Aeronautique In tcrnationale and besides is known i'm all the countries of the world where flying has been attempt ed Besides the exhibition flights he has made without number he has made in New York Pennsylvania, Georgia. Louisiana and other states. Le has operated warplanes for the United States government on the testing grounds on Long Island He has flown in France, Switzerland England. Ireland. Scotland, Germany, Russia. Australia, Africa and the Phflippines There is a movement now on foot to secure his services for exhibition flights at the State Fair this fall and he was negotiating with the United States government to bring the aerOplane from Tucson to Phoenix intended for use in MeXI co at the time it was stolen from deputy United States marshal and taken into the neighboring republic
 The organizing of a school of avla- ton in Phoenix is something never before attempted here. At the time CaIbraith r. Rodgers made his mem orabIe flight from coast to coast, stopping at Phoenix en route. there was an agitation at that time looking 10 the location of such an institution here. but Rodgers went on to the coast and was about to open school at Pasadena when he met with his untimely accident. Such an accident as befell his machine could not Oc- cur in the \eyVatte machine because of the peculiar type adopted making it practically proof of such mishap. No pupil of Neyvatte's will be per mitted to go into the air unattended until he has demonstrated beyond all doubt his ability to control a machine under all conditions.
