And then tie young fellow whose

of the seemingly useless high school
studies. An engineer, whether cleo
trio, steam or civil, must be we'll
versed in English to enable him to
write out his reports; and to do this
clearly so that they can be readily un-
derstood he must know well Latin,
German, rhetoric, English and Amer
ican literature as we'll as grammar :;
and to do his work with accuracy he
must know algebra, geometry, solid
and plane. as we'll as arithmetic. So
that after all those 'good for nothing
studies,, as the boys sometimes call
them, are very useful even though
they seem very useless now.
