HONOR FOR HOTEL ENGINEER
To Be . Professor at Columbia Uni
versity and Establish New Course.

| versity and Establish New Course.
]. G. SJnrgenson, who for seven and
half years has been hotel engineer,
admitted the other day that he had re-
signed his job at the st. Regis hotel,
In New York. to take the chair of engi-
neering plant instruction at Columbia
university, In New York. He said he
would begin bis duties next fall upon
his return from visit to bis native
home, Copenhagen.
Mr.. Jurgenson tilis a farm at Tap
pan, N. T., when got busy overseeing
firemen, oilers. electricians, mechanics
and licensed engineers.
Il am going to Columbia ut the So
licitation OF the trustees to start and
conduct classes In plant measurement"
he said. 1T Is a new branch of prac-
teal study. My students will work in
the boiler room of the college and get
accustomed to coal dust. oil and the
working side OF practical engineering.
1t won't be mere book lore. They can
rudimentary knowledge they desire. 1t
will be real work with shovel at the
furnaces and with wrench and oil can
at the engines.
Everything that pertains to the prop
er working of an engine room or plant
will be impaired; electrical, oil and
coal burning engines will be running,
and the up to date boilers will be in
stalled for drilling students to become
trustworthy engineers. 1t Is not easy
work, this training Of engineers. In
six years | have given certificates to
only two men out of class of sixteen
apprentices.
1.-The engineer of the future has to be
different from the one met with TO-
day. said Mr.. Jurgenson. 1.-THE need
of better men In plants In New York
Ii plainly seen every day. There is d
great deal Of money to be saved, espe-
ciaily In coal bills.
1--WE have come to the question of
economical engineering, and It can be
accomplished through apprenticeship,
education and cooperation between
engineer and employer. Inefficiency in
the engine room causes loss, and the
only remedy is proper education.

DECISION UNEXPECTED

Louisiana Democrat: AS the SUI
preme Court--and we must confess
quite Unexpectedly to tls--has dismissed
the application for writs. of prohibition
and certiorari filed by Attorney Smith
IN behalf Of the Shreveport violators OF
the prohibition law, the effect Of which
Is to sustain the decision of the District
Court sentencing about a dozen of this
class OF gentry to- the chain gang for
thirty days, they will probably conclude
that prohibition does prohibit sometimes
and occasionally, even if administered
in homeopathic doses.
