George |. Lander has written prize essay, puBlished in The Electrical En- eineor, on how to become an electrical engineer It is full of hope and enoour- agement for those bright, ambitious lads whose souls long to be in tho midst of volts and ohms and dynames and sparks
 Mir. Lander supposes the case of a youth of IS who is without means to take him through school and who must, besides, earn his living as he goes along. He has, say, common school educa- tion, nothing moro. Let him first get employment with firm thatIdoes wir- ing for electric lighting In 1.-two years he will bo an expert wireman, and will be 20. Then he should hire hdmself out i'll the power house of somei electric lighting company, where he may learn of dynarnos, switchboards, arc lamps, meters, connections, etc. Meantime he must be reading and studying in his spare hours elementary works on e9eo- trictty.and must take q solid course in mathematics. He should stay with the electric company till he is 24, learning all he can about everything connected with his business. At the ageo 94 it is essential that he tal1o a course in 6 sci entifo training school, where he must study chemistry and mechanical en- gineering, among other branches 3 three years course if possible, but two years at the least. After that a year or two of actual work in machine shop are wanted, he still studying books on steam, mechanics and, electricity.
 By this time hewill be about 28 years old. Let him thenspend two years work ing In largo electrical manufacturing establishment Atthe end of this time he is 30 and entitled to call himself an electrical engineer, and not till then.

 The child took this equipment, and first removed tho cover of the box. She lighted the candle and placed it inside the box and then tried to fasten the paper ever the box with the twine She was awkward and embarrassed. She could not fit the paper around the box.
 A juror asked her what gave her SC much trouble.

All good citizens hay recognized the urgency for such re- form the past several years, but the counter pressure has been so strong, owing to conflicting conditions in different parts of the state, that they have refrained, per haps longer than they should from bring ing this matter to climax. But the time is now here for definite action, when to procrastinate longer would be a ruinous policy The standard of the ballot, and of education must be raised. else pernicious results will follow. Give us that constitu- tional convenient
