ELECTRICITY NOT OVERCOME.
FaVorlte Branch Of Engineering is
Still Drawing Thousands
Of Students,


For some time electrical engineer
ing has been the fayorlte branch Of
engineering of those who look to the
future. The marvellous advance In
the application of electricity to every
part OF the field OF industry has in
duced the student to take up work in
that field rather than in the mechan.
ical, civil, or mining branches. A
census Of the principal engineering
schools Of the United States, taken by
The Electrical World, shows that there
are ninety.six schools giving an ade-
quate course in electricity.
In 1907 there were 1858 graduates
sent out from them to find places in
the world, and there were altogether
1929 students in the different stages
of preparation. From the time that
these schools were started there have
been 10,959 graduates, and the ques-
ton arises whether the set toward the
electrical side of engineering has not
been overdone, and whether 1t would
not be better for the young man who
feels drawn toward the practical side
of life to adopt one of the older
and now less popular departments OF
engineering.
In the opinion OF The Electrical
World, however, electricity has not
yet been overdone. It points out
that 1t may not fall to the lot OF
every graduate TO become a technical
specialist but his college training will
stand him in good stead in whatever
part Of the electrical field he enters.
He may find himself employed in an
administrative world, but II electric
ity is used in his business the knowl-
edge he has acquired as a student
will be Invaluable to him.
In fact, 1t is now generally recog-
nized that the technical graduate Is
ideal raw material from which to re-,
cruit every branch of industry. He
is not an expert until he has faced
the rude knocks of practical expert
ence, but is he is stin at the plastic
stage at the time of his entry into
the workaday world he can be shaped
to fill almost any position in the cleo
trical field.
Unfortunately, however, Of the nine
ty-six electrical schools only twenty
four are Of the highest grade. The
majority, which profess to go beyond
mere elementary instruction, take up
all the time Of the student in tech.
nical work. The result is that the
graduate lacks the breadth of mind
and knowledge required Of the we'll
rounded engineer and receives his
diploma technically equipped indeed
so far as electricity is concerned, but
without the adaptability which will
permit him TO put his knowledge to
use In unexpected fields.
A marked feature of the present
situation Us the zeal with which the
Western universities have taken up
electrical training At present few

the older institutions, but their keen.

EQUALITY WAS
 A FAILURE

Chicago, June 22.-Matrimonial equality, reducing the rights and du- ties of husband and wife to common 4enominator, has been tried and found Wanting in the case of G. Frank Ho- gan. a wealthy envelope manufacture CT, and his wife, the failure being sig nalized by the application of Mrs. Ho- gan for divorce and alimony. At the marriage of the couple in Denver March II, 1905, they obtained a great deal of notoriety by entering into a covenant that there should be but one moral code for both, with equality for each and special privileges for neith- CT. Over his signature Hogan agreed to the following propositions:
 ''That my wife may carry latch key if l do. That my wife may stay out as late as I do. That if I gamble she may do likewise. That if l look upon the wine when it is red, she may also take a peep. That if l should flirt with some pretty young women, my wife will not be taken to task be- cause she views with approval some comedy young youth.
 Tn her suit for divorce Mrs. Hogan alleges that her husband was contin- ually intoxicated and objected to any indulgence on her part; that he beat and abused her, threatening to kill her and was guilty of objectionable atten- tions to other women ,as we'll as num- erous minor misdemeanors.
