that the only proper and safe way to become an
engineer is te obtain a thorough training in one
of our engineering schools. There are many
things that the great majority Of men will never
learn unless they learn them in professional
school; and nowhere else can man gam so
well or SO quickly the breadth of view and the
adaptabilitv which will enable him 10 meet
new problems. Moreover, the young man who
aims to become an engineer should secure
broad training. not devoted entirely to technical
subjects but covering those subjects OF gen
eral nature which are necessary for every thor
oughly educated man, such as the English IAN
guage, one or two foreign languages, history
economies and literature. The time has ar
rived when engineering should take its place
as one OF the learned professions, and when II
should be considered necessary for an engineer
to be as broadly cultured as a doctor law
yer or a minister. Indeed, the engineer has not
yet been given a station in the business or pro-
fessional world. and does not yet receive the
financial remuneration to which his RESPONSE
bilties and achievements legitimatey entitle
him. He has too often been looked upon as
high class mechanic or builder This is due
partly to the fact that some engineers deserve
this designation, while many more have been
narrowly trained, and have too few interests
and too little information outside of their spe-
ciaIties But ell this is rapidly changing, and
the engineer of the future will take nOsition
in society and business as a cultivated and
highly trained man. on a level with men in any
of the other professions.
AS the manner OF obtaining this broad and
thorough education differences of opinion will
be found among even those best qualified to
judge. Probably the advice of the majority
would be TO go through college and then 10 take
a course in a professional school. My own ad
vice however would be to lay out such course
OF five or six years in institution, studying
some general subjects and professional
subjects in each year with increasing pro
portion of the latter the student progresses
There are serious objections. well some ad
vantages, in the plan of getting ones educa-
tion in layers-frst a general education and
then a professional education. Professional and
ron-professional subjects encountered and
pursued simultaneously III after life, and why
should they be separated in the schools, and
studied tandem instead Of abreast? The
great fault with the ordinary college course
is that IL fits man for nothing in par
ticular and that while pursuing 1t most men are
working with no definite aim. Perhaps IL is not
exaggerating TO say that the average college
student (as distinguished from the professional

period of passive enjoyment. This spirit is in a
