Teaching by Post! ...
A progressive college in America is said to have inaugurated a sya- tem of teachng its students by cor respondence how to fly.
England, apparently, has not yet reached such a state, for although the title of Mr. Preston's book sounds somewhat alarming, no at- tempt is made to initiate the be-. Rinner in the mysteries of flight, Rather does the book explain how the embryo pilot should set about learning.
