Of work. The of the coun.

Much information is needed to make

Wisdom of the Course.

Problems of Great Importance.
Steam turbines could be studied ex-

To the country at large, such expert

as the agricultural experiment stations,
because We come into competition with
foreign countries more in our manufac-
