Training the Mechanical In

Francis A Wal,er says excessive

tive faculty. One -lde Of the mind can
not be trained without lujury to the rest,
The imagination. the memory, the tastes,

yeloped exclusively without Weakening
tie Judgment and the will Herein lies
the explanation Of the contempt ot

men. Civil engineers are rarely good
mechanics, and most frequently do not
understand the methods of using their
material i'm the most economical way.
They may have been well trained IN the
mathematics and theories OF their pro-
fessions, but they have never actually
worked on wood or iron, and acquired
Il practical acquaintance with their quai.

they are timid sometimes in the pres

They hesitate and are lost. Ask new
