School For instruction MayBe Started In Manitowoc. A school for Instruction in the fundamentals of flying will be opened in Manitowoc if the efforts of Miss Lydia Kalishek, licensed pilot and “veteran” aviatrix,” are successful.Miss Kalishek will accept applications for enrollment from all those interested. She has been flying since 1919 and is a' member of the American Women’s Air Council as well, as secretary of the Milwaukee Light Plane club./'There is a crying need for good instructors in flying,” said Miss Kalishek, “so many students are turned out who are incapable of j dbtinihg a pilot’s license from the] department of commerce. The time, Will come when an instructor must be a college trained man and much Progress is being shown along this ■ line now as a result of the Guggen- ! lielm Foundation, which has given : funds for the establishment of ; aeronautical courses in universities 1and colleges.”Ton planes will be available for students who enroll in the Mnito-wos course, which will consist of spven hours in tfye air. Miss Kalishek says that the Wisconsin Civic iUr Service which is sponsoring the Classes in many of the smaller ^cities of the state, does not guarantee to solo” a man in the class of/eight hours because twice that raoy hours in the air does not fit many would-be flyers for solowork..?The seven hours which the course includes, however, are sufficient to convince the student of thef^Ct that he will either “make” a ..flyer or that he has attempted a profession that is not in hisdine.' ¥
