Our toch niciil schools aufl colleges luive been mobilized by the war department to turn out brains tor the army. If some of the kaiser's field mar shals could take a flying trip to America and see how American edu cational Institutions are turning out technical men for the army and pre paring to keep up the supply for a dozen years if necessary, a great light migbt begin to dawn even in the Hun mind. I havo just Inspected this work at Jlhe Carnegie Institute of Toc-hnlligy. Aeronautical School of Uadio-.Me-chanlcs Hie only one of its kind in the United States. Six hundred boys in khukl are learning how to place and repair radio installations of our airplanes. OIK) in Training I)y August 10 the number in traiu lng ill this course reached 900. Every select service man whose record shows that he lias had electrical training will bo sent here. Ueneral Pershing has called for more radio mechuuics. Thru a big new steel and concrete building (built in 90 days), 1 went with Director of War Courses Itced. The floor space is covered with Cur tlss model training planes on which the men work. The aerial radio gets its power from a small auxiliary mo tor, fastened to the chassis of the plane, above the right wheel on the landing gear. It looks like a big acorn with an electric fan fastened on the front. When the aeroplane Is flying, the force of the wind runs tiie radio motor. From this motor, wires are carried to the sending set located in the fuselage and operated by the observer. The men learn to make these installations and to set . up ground receiving stations and keep thorn in repair. In Touch Willi Army The school keeps in the closest touch with the army in France. Cabled instructions from General Pershing result in changes in' the course of instruction to keep It up to the minute. "The men are glvci some of the theory of electrical work, magnetism, machine shop practice, code practice some sketching and working out of circuits, and also radio sending.' ex plained Director Meed. "These men are without exception the best class of students we have ever had," said Director Reed. "There will be no better trained men in the army." Tho rchool of radio-mechanics was located at Carnegie, because Pitts burg Is tho center of cicatrical pro duction. PAGE THREE LONDON", Aii.
