Industrial Engineering.

From the Engineering Magazine.
The progress of each year equals that
achieved in the preceding two years.
Throughout the entire range of engineering
activity the same process is apparent-the
process Of bringing higher units OF force
under more absolute control Of the indi-
vidual will.
On the material side the advance Of the
era is strikingly evident. 1t shows first,
perhaps, in the vast manufacturing estab-
lishments and in the parallel rise of huge
central power and lightning stations, swift
steamships, fast railway trains, extended
traction systems, great office buildings.
Next it shows in the change in the me-
chanical equipment of all of these - a
change amounting to revolution, espe-
cially in the tools of production used in the
mill and machine works. Surely it must
be apparent that there must be an equal
progress in the system of coordination by
which these tremendous agencies are made
to work in internal and external harmony
in other words, in methods of manage
ment. The development of works manage
ment into a specialized branch of produc-
tive activity is indeed the great coordinate
of the mechanical progress Of the last few

AGAINST PAID COACHES
froposttton to Dispense With Pro-
fessfonal Trainers in College. smart.

From the Chicago Tribune
President Draper and the trustees or
the University of Illinois have taken ,
ocmmendable step in sending out a circular.
To the leading western colleges urging that
after 1901 there shall be no more maid
coaches employed IN foot bail or other col
lege athletics. The University OF Chicago
has given prompt Endorsement to tho
suggestion, and the Universities of Wiscou-
sin and Iowa are In sympathy with tb,
movement. The Idea is one that ought To
recommend Itself strongly to the other five
OF the nine colleges concerned
The point made by the authorities Of tho
University OF Illinois is that th,. pr.vaiIin,r
usage is unwise, because ii is destructiye
or university self-dependence because ~
encourages extravagant expenditure and
invites professionalism: because IL makes
the game a battle between rival coaches
who become Indifferent to the hazards az
the contests. and because ii results I'm. the
overtraining OF the men to an extent which
Is hurtful physically and which untits them
Tor regular university work" IL is pro-
posed that after the coming season all foot
pan ana other athletic teams shall he
coached by none hut regularly emnIoye,I
instructors in the university
This is the policy that has been followed
ID! the University Of Chicago from the be
ginning, and 1t undoubtedly is best The
trouble with employing ont stders is that the
intercollegiate games become personal bat
ties between rival coaches. The profess
slonal coach strives to make a reputation
for himself and often forgets the interests
OF the college or the personal welfare of
the men. In his desire to win at all haz-
ards he is tempted to introduce profess
sional players into his team under more or
less transparent disguises. thus injuring the
good name of the college in attempting to
bolster up his own reputation
Inc whole tendency is to make the games
too desperately in earnest Instead of mere
sports they become battles in which every
thing is staked, almost including the lives
or the players. The evils complained of
can be corrected 70 large degree by keep
Ing athletics under the control of an in
strhctor or director connected with the fac
ulty of the college. Such an instructor IS
not likely to sacrifice the interests of the
institution to his own interests for the
two are combined, If not identical Ath-
letlcs have become so important a feature
of college life that every large institution
Is almost compelled to assume control over
them and not to leave them longer I'm the
hands of irresponsible hired professionals
President Draper's suggestion is timely and
practical.

War Balloons.

From the Philadelphia Times.
The London war office, II IS stated, is
about purchasing DR.. Barton's balloon for
military purposes. 1t is cigar-shaped and
has platform and machinery suspended
underneath. a high-speed motor drives the
propellers, and IT is provided with two
aeroplanes, one horizontal. by which the
balloon is made to ascend and descend, and
another vertical at the rear, which does
the steering from right to left Water
tanks arranged at each end, into which
the water is pumped automatically from
one TO the other, overcome the difficulty
arising from the necessity of moving the
center of gravity. The opinion is expressed
that by the end of the summer the balloon
will be able to carry three persons at the
rate of twelve miles an hour
