full of saving the lives of many student
flyers, are backing a plan, 1t was an
nounced to-day by the Aero Club of
America, to furnish athletic coaches who
will advise the men and forbid them to
ascend unless they are in perfect ply
sical and mental condition.
The air division of the United States
signal corps has expressed a desire that
trainers be assigned at once to the
camps, but an act of Congress Is neces-
sary, 1t is said, before money for the
purpose can be appropriated. The idea
OF introducing trainers In the camps is
credited to Walter Camp. the veteran foot
ball coach. who has been asked to en-
gage at least ten, and not more than
Is, such trainers at Alaries of $3.50 a
month. A fund Of $22,5OO for paying the
trainers salaries for six months. or until
Congress can act. has been started.
The statement Is made by the Aero
club that each student flyers death means
loss of $4,000 to the government, divided
as follows: Cadet insurance $4,000: cost
OF training 5000; cost of machine $s,0o0
