FIFTY-ONE AVIATION
 STUDENTS KILLED
Ten Officers and 29 Cadets Numbered Among Victims at Train
 ing Grounds.

Washington, Feb. 23.-Fifty-on lives have been lost thus far in the training of the big corps of Amer ican army aviators for service abroad. Ten of these were officers and 29 were cadets, all engaged in training flights Twelve men were killed in unauthorized flights and ground &C., cidents. These statistics were made
 public for the first time today in an announcement by MT Baker, secre.
 tary of war.
 The number of fatalities is not con-
 sidered excessive by the military au-
 thorities, in view of the work that has
 been done and the number of men in
 training and the percentage of train
 ing losses will compare favorably, ii
 is believed, with those of other coun-
 tries. The statement of the secretary of war follows:
 Inquiries have come to the War Department concerning the number of fatalities among American aviators in training in this country. The rec ords of the department show that from the beginning of the training, in June, 1917, to date the fatalities at military aviation fields in this
 
 cers and 29 cadets killed in training flights and 12 men killed in unau- thorized flights and ground accidents, Since the training of aviators be. gan in this country our student avi- | ators have flown considerably more l than one hundred thousands miles. l Considering the large number of men ] in training and the number of miles l flown, the fatalities have been re- l markedly low.
 1 While it is regretted that fifty-one l deaths have occurred, it should be ! noted that many hundreds of hith erto l inexperienced men have been learning l to fly. Their early flights are under l the guidance of an instructor, and | prior to these flights two or more | months are spent in preliminary 1 ground work. There comes a time l however, when every student aviato1 1 must take his machine up alone, and | every precaution has been taken to re- l duce the number of accidents anC l safeguard the aviator in his sole | flights.
 Taking into account the ordinary l hazards of their occupations, the de. ! ve1opment of a comparatively new 1 art, and the ratio of accidents in the l everyday fields of endeavor, it is fel | that the fatality record among Amer ] ica's student aviators will compare favorab1y with these of other coun
 tries, and, while distressing, is no | discouraging."

 "The ultimate purpose, l believe,
 of modern education in China should
 be to train young men for the serV- ice of the community. Hitherto the family has been the social unlt to which the activities of the individual . have been restricted. But conditions are now changed, and we have to cd ucate our young men to serve not only their families and their com- munities. but also their country. To this end I give lectures and encour- age the students to participate in the social work of the community. For instance our boys have establi sh ,d two schools for poor children; th3y investigate hygienic conditions and make reports to the local authorities; and recently they assisted in the re- lief of the flood sufferers.
