Why do we not capitalize on the absorbing interest of youth in flying? The armed forces want boys who have a thorough knowledge of the fundamentals of mathematics. Such a foundation can be given through a course in aerial navigation. First, it is assumed that boys who are interested in becoming aviation cadets and girls who wish to be future WASPS are intellectually superior pupils; hence they should have completed two years of mathematics, including elementary algebra and plane geometry, and either have completed or be studying simultaneously intermediate algebra. If possible, a term of plane and spherical trigonometry should be a prerequisite. With such a background pupils are eligible for an elementary course in aerial navigation, which will prove to be a magic carpet transporting both pupils and instructor to the enchanted realm of planes, flights and pilots.

Elementary algebra, plane geometry, intermediate algebra, plane and spherical trigonometry, solid geometry, and advanced algebra are all being studied in the same room at the same time. Sounds something like a one-room country school, doesn't it? This is being done by a group of mentally superior pupils in two ungraded classes (taught by the writer) at Monroe High School.
