Some 800 private pilot li censes have been issued to Stephens students, Newland said: That number represents about 10 per cent of the wom en pilots in the country. The man who turns stu dents into fliers is chief pilot Tower Creasy. "Women make smoother pilots than men after they get the knack of flying," Creasy said.

Then the girls learn about controls, instruments, and starting and third lesson covers principles of flight and gravity. After that, the student goes up in a plane, and practices tusns, gliding, . climbing, spins and stalls. Take-offs and landings usually are included by the eighth lesson.
