PITCHES INTO CRANE
Sterens Head Upho!ds Carnegie and
Technical EducatiOn.

At the seventh annual dinner OF the alumni of
the Stevens Institute of Technology at the Hotel
Astor last night DR.. Alexander c. Humphreys
president of the institution took up the cudgeIs in
favor of Andrew Carnegie against r. 7. Crane
the manufacturer and philanthropst, who some
weeks ago tried to discredit the value of technical
training in an address before the Western Railway
Club. of Chicago. His was one of many speeches
at the dinner. for which nearly three hundred
plates were laid.
Henry Morton Brinkorhoff. class Of 90 presided
At the guest table, among others. were President
Humphreys. DR. II. S. Pritchett. president of the
Carnegie Foundation; Robert =. Porter. former
Chief of the United States Census Bureau and now
connected with The London Times" and James Z.
sague of the upstate Public Service Commission.
President Humphreys particularly referred Mr.
Cranes attack Mr. Carnegie for esta bshing tho
Carnegie Institute In Pittsburg. which Mr.. Crane
referred ''Carnegie's s2oonooO blundcr." fol
lowing this up by the statement that If Mr.. Carne-
gle had taken that S12.01Q.N1 and added another
s1200.eoo to it and dumped the whole amountsin
the this country would be better off.
The speaker drew attention to the fact that the
four great American societies of mechanical civil
mining and electrical engineers. together with the
Society for the Promotion of Engineering Educo-
ton, were, through joint committee taking
measures to support the engineering schools In
their efforts to improve and StandardiZe their
ricula, and that this in itself a sufficient an
to Mr. Cranes more extreme criticisms.
AS whole, President Humphreys address was
an appeal for broader but at the same time a
more practical and specifically thorough edu-
cation for the engineer student. the fundamentals
OF engineering science to be taught with the great
est thoroughness, the ability to analyze data and
correctly to reason therefrom to be cultivated
rather than the memoriZing of data and formulas
Commissioner Sague, who is a Stevens graduate
class of 49, spoke of the public service commits
sons and their work.
President Pritchett discussed college modesty
and college efficiency. He said in part:
We Americans have had some illustrations of late
that American belief that have i fine
system of college efficiency, and modesty may not
lie infaliibe Our critics declaring that edu
CHtional systems not training men properly,
and point Germany, France and England as doing
better having something better. They say our
tack technical instituuons-even our public
tShools-and declare they faulty institutions
jhls much is true. at least, that In the last TWO
decades We have been good borroWerS--not
nearly so good a Germany and Japan. 1t is a
.r,lsfn that the best thing to being able To do
"a thing well yourself is to become a good borrower
o. "a better method than your own There are. We
must admit. some foreign methods that are better
than our own--methods of technical training broad

Carpenters. meet in regular
session tomorrow evening as do
also the painters.
The Typographical union held
their regular meeting last Saturday
night with good attendance and
transacted routine business.
DON'T forget to ask for the union
store, bar or shop card. Mention
1T some way or other, no matter
what craft the card represents
that it will start the boss to think
Ing that the moral worth of that
little sign means financial worth to
him. Keep on looking, especially
IN those places where the card has
always been displayed. Some.
times it is necessary to remove the
card.
For some time past it seems to
be utterly impossible to get some
OF the delegates to attend the
meetings of the Trades Assembly.
Ii they have any reason for acting
thus they should appear before
the Assembly and give it. Put
aside petty jealousies and work
for the best interest of the cause.
There is no reason why Charleston
should not have a central body as
strong as any in the country.
Delegates come out next Monday
evening and lets take fresh start.
All other cities throughout the
state are hustling and will all have
Labor Day celebrations. Don't
forget your obligation.

ECONOMIC
PROBLEM
Discussed by a Wealthy PhiladeI-
phia Man--Idle Rich Do the
Workingman's Thinking-Great
Game of Graft.
Philadelphia, June %, 1908.
Editor Labor Arms

Philadelphia, June %, 1908.
Editor Labor Argus,
Dear Sir:-
A very wealthy young fellow of
Philadelphia the other day got in.
terested in economic problems.
Said he to me: 81 have an income
of about 100000 a year. 1t comes
to me like mamma from heaven. I
spend 1T all. l produce nothing;
neither do work. 1 can do this
all my life and when my children
have grown up the principal of my
income will have grown automat-
ically SO that each of them will
have at least $4,000 year to
blow in.''
How is it done? "The simplest
thing on earth," said he. ssI con
troll by inheritance several special
privileged investments. You see,
my grandfather came to Philadel-
phia in the early days. One lot
down town he nailed for a mule, a
pair of boots and "a bottle of
whiskey. Our family hung on to
that lot every since; and today I
would not sell it for a hundred
thousand dollars. You see,
grandpa kept on buying lots just
as the people kept on COMING to
Philadelphia; and in proportion
as their numbers increased the
value of the lots went up. They
raised the value and 1 and nv
kids got it.''
