WARSAW, Ind, Feb. 1 (U. P.)— The only religious flying school in America was opened today at Viotory field, thrée miles north of here,

by the Rev. Paul C. Hartford, “the flying preacher,” with his first class of 35 composed of divinity students. The Rev. Hartford, better known as “Flying Paul,” a non-denomi-national preacher, décided when he was in the West Indies on Pearl Harbor day that he would establish a school “so missionaries, ministers and Christian workers could fly the Gospel to the ends of the world in their own tiny ‘grasshopper ships.’” Although civilian students will be permitted to enter the flying school, “Flying Paul” said he would give preference to religious workers, and, at present, has more than enough Sppliostiops from the latter for! wo

classes. Many of these are from foreign points, such as Mexico, where he has ‘flown to make contacts. However, his first students were all registered from nearby Grace seminary. The unique air school was established at Victory field because of its nearness to Winona lake—worldfamous religious conference grounds and site of two seminaries for training ministers—and because the airport there was ready except for a dormitory which he had built. The school is being supported by churches throughout the nation, who

project, and who intend to finance the planes for their missionaries, “the flying preacher” said. He added that he would do most of the teaching, aided only by two instructors.
