The policy or bringing up pilots in the way they should go has led to the establishment of a full educational organization. It is devised primarily to secure those Air Ministry certificates - which may add to the dignity and au- thority of the full-blown officer and also to relate the acquisition of knowledge to its application in the type of work the company undertakes. If, for instance, the Jife_of_the_candidate for a ground engineer's licence is considered, it appears that he mixes lectures with practical instruction and with hard labour as member of a shift in the workshops; he goes for a few days to the works where the engines and airscrews are made;

TWO GROUPS

Gases are divided into two mai

"Non-persistent" and Groups "Persistent." When liberated int the air non-persistent gases form clouds of gas or arsenical smoke which drift along with wind, gradually mixing with larger. quantities of air, and so becoming less dangerous. "Persistent" gases are usually liquids which evaporate slowly, giving "off vapour.

That qualification is one which demands a great deal of preparu- tion. The second-class certificate is usually to be obtained after three months study; the first class may not be taken until a pliot has 300 hours', flying to his credit, and the school work may
