laying especial stress upon the educa-

Of the organization. The stationary
engineer is really a professional man
today for whom the association has
done much and is in a position to do
still more. The National Association
stands first Of all for education, is not
a labor union, and takes no part in
wage troubles or questions. He showed
how its official publication can be a
vast help along educational lines ia
those who will avail themselves of if,
and stated that the only way for an
engineer to keep abreast Of progress
and changes Of the times was to put
a reasonable amount OF study into his
procession ali the time. SCCn Atten-
ton would result in producing A

He was followed by State DEPUTY
Hastings. who mentioned that Connec-
ticut had about 525 engineers in the
twelve associations in this state. and
he also emphasized the thought that
