with the result that about 1000
students were enrolled in aviation
mechanics and other closely related
courses for the year which ended
June 30. 1899. and approximately
25.000 for the year which ended last
June 80. Even more have been en-
rolled for the school term just be-
ginning.
Vocational and technical training
in aviation has largely been limited
to secondary and junior college
levels. with courses in such subjects
as aircraft blueprint reading. air
craft drafting. aircraft Sketching
and designing. aircraft sheet metal
work. aircraft servicing and main
tenance. aircraft welding, aircraft
engines, aircraft lofting, sheet
metal layout and template making
aero engineering layout. trade
mathematics, aircraft stress analy-
sis, aircraft inspection. aircraft ma
chine shop work, aircraft engine &C
cessories and top overhauling.
At college level courses are pro-
vided in such subjects as aero
dynamics. airplane design practice
aircraft structures. aeronautical
laboratory work, details of construc-
ton of aircraft, aircraft produc-
ton methods. aircraft shop work
aircraft instruments. advanced air
plane engine design. aircraft pro-
peller design and vibration measure
ments.

No Loans, Roosevelt Says.

House admission that military planes
already in service here might be
made available to the British in
the manner so over-age Navy de-
stroyers were transferred recently.
And at a press conference late yes
terday, President Roosevelt also as
serted without qualification that he
has made no recommendation. and
expects to make none, for mOdiflca-
