college men, often holding degrees.
But today more and more high school
students are making the grade"
Requirements for applicants with
two years of college training and for
high school graduates differ in only
one respect, according to Colonel Tai
bott. College men are exempt from
scholastic examination while the 9TH
ers must pass tests in United States
and general history, English grammar
and composition, geography, arith-
metic, higher algebra, geometry, trig-
onometry and elementary physics.
Most high schools offer these subjects.
Other requirements, according to
Colonel Talbot, are that applicants be
unmarried, physically fit, male Amer
ican citizens at least 20 years old and
not yet 27. Details may be obtained
at all Army recruiting stations.
Once accepted, the flying cadets
take a nine-month training course.
Living expenses are furnished free by
the Army, including living quarters,
meals and medical and dental atten-
ton. In addition, cadets are paid $75
every month, until they become air
corps reserve officers and draw $205
month on active duty.
