taken steps to clean up the streets in
the New York avenue section.
Thomas Martindale, the indefatigable
Philadelphia merchant and sportsman,
has been taking his usual weekend
tramps through the adjacent country.
MI. Martindale told the writer that he
is now working on his Alaskan book
which will be printed this coming fall.
He also noted that the birds of passage
have left this resort sooner this year
than ever before which he attributes
largely to the fact that so much of the
underbrush and foliage has been cut
away from the vast open spots around
Apglesea. Nj. Msrtindale is afraid
that Five Mile Beach will never see the
bird life that it has seen in days gone
by.
Charles F. Tietze and family have

body holds that September weather is
the best enjoyed SO far this year.
Nothing is more beautiful than these
bright balmy days and it is expected
such conditions will prevail for tine
next four or six weeks any how. The
people are coming to realize this and
il it were not for the school bugaboo
when all the children have to be back
at work so early in the month the Wis

same as they did through July and
August.
The commodore's races at the Wild
wood Yacht club last Saturday wer
enjoyed by a bevy of water enthusiasts
and the races, while not over large,
were decidedly spirited. Minor Harvey

1t is understood that the directors of
the club are arranging to keep the
club open during the winter months in
charge of the stewardess, Mrs. Otilla
Hess, through whose efforts and work
the club has been largely successful
this past season. A vote of thanks has
been rendered Jacob Maier, keeper of
the records, who has worked earnestly
for the welfare of the club.

philosophy of the subject and it
would be we'll to include in this
connection course in biology and
practical psychology, for the rea-
son that the true test of scientific !
management is that it improves
and elevates the mental and ply
sical condition of the workman. A
wrong impression has been given
by some of the opponents of scien-
tific management, who claim that |
it tends. to make automatons of |
men. If this has been done in any
of the industries it is because the
true principle has been departed
from and for this reason, if for no
other, the treating of the subject
in a comprehensive way in our en-
gineering schools would be a great
advantage and would tend to pre-
vent mistakes Of this character.
"One other thing that scientific
management has pointed out very
clearly is that the physical condi-
tion of the men should be consider
ed to its fullest extent and that the
men who are overworked and
working in unhygenic surround
ings are in the very nature Of
things bound to be more or less
inefficient. A general treatment,
therefore, of hygienic law is nee
essary as we'll as course in ply
siology and personal hygiene. A
great many men are inefficient
largely because they lack a know
ledge of how to take care of them
selves so that it is part Of the sys-
tenn of scientific management to
conduct campaign of education
along these lines. This, of course,
cannot be done intelligently unless
the men at the head of the organ
ization realize to the fullest extent
what this means.
"It seems to me, in view of the
fact that our engineering schools
are turning out the men who be-
come the heads of our large man
ufacturing concerns, that it is of
the utmost Importance that they
send out their students thoroughly

MOUND PEACH
TREES FOR WINTER
Timely Advice From Horti-
cultural Department

Owners of orchards of young
peach trees should see that their
trees are mounded up with earth
before winter sets in. On some
Of the lighter soils the severe
storms of the past summer and
fall have caused the young trees
to be swayed so much by the wind
that considerable space is open
left between the trunk and the
surrounding soil. Trees in such
condition are liable to winter in
jury of the trunk just at or below
the surface of the soil. Surplus
water is liable to settle in these
places and the freezing of a collar
OF ice about the trunk will often
kill the bark; and if the tree is not
killed outright, it will be severely
injured.
Owners of young trees should
also see that all borers are taken
out before winter sets in. In cases
where borers are removed the trees
should be we'll mounded with
earth. The work of the borer may
have so interfered with the down.
ward flow of sap that a soft sappy
growth results just above the in
jury. This tissue may not ripen
up sufficiently before cold weather
begins and sudden drop in tenn
perature often severely Injuries
trees in such condition. Mounding
earth about the tree for distance
of about four to six inches will
often prevent such injury.
Many trees so injured were
found in Delaware peach orchards
last year.

A course describing the methods
IN use in making motion-studies
might be added. as this is as i'm
portant part of scientific manage
ment. AS an illustration of this,
there is one large pulp manufac-
turing concern that was able to
save over 5000 per day in freight
paid to the railroad companies,
by careful study of motion-study
to eliminate lost time in the opera
tion of it's hydraulic press equip
ment for pressing moisture out of
the pulp. There should also be in
cluded course describing the var
ious methods of rewarding men for
their increased efficiency. This
must be gone into very carefully in
order to point out the danger of at
tempting any kind of piece work
or bonus system, without scienti-
fically determining in advance the
best methods to follow. Mistakes
made by imitators Of scientific
management might have been
avoided if a more thorough know
ledge on these subjects had been
available. The methods for reward
ing foremen and department heads
so that they will be stimulated to
their best efforts, should also be
studied, as we'll as those used to
determine the departmental eff
ciencies.
Another important subject is the
use Of graphical methods for ana
lying the results Of investigation
and keeping track of operating
conditions.
Considering the extreme simpli-
city of this method and the impos-
siblity of obtaining intelligent re-
suits in any other way, it surely
seems that this subject should be
given a great deal more attention
in our technical schools. There is
nothing new, of course, about
graphics, but it's general applica-
tion to business is new and should
be studied. All of this, of course,
involves experience and it is high
ly desirable that the subjects pre-
viously referred to in this paper be
taught by men who have had ex-
perience in putting these princi-
Piles into operation. In my judg-
ment it would be improper and
might be productive of harm
rather than good if college in
structors simply took up the sub
ject by textbook and attempted to
teach it. The true principles OF
scientific management cannot be
comprehended in this way alone
as the practicable conditions car
only be learned by actual contact
with the work and have a great
bearing on the final conclusions
If this subject must be taken up by
the regular instructors in the Ell
gineering schools. they should b,
given permission and time to gt
into the manufacturing establish
ments now operating under thu
system, to become thoroughly ia
miliar with it. After having done
. this they will be in a much bette
? position to teach the subject in al
authoritative and interesting way
after having acquired know
| ledge of the mechanism of scien
: tifc management the studen
{ should also be taught the genera

Growing Reputation AS
Efficiency Engineer

In the report of the Society for
the Promotion of Engineering Ed
ucation, there appears a paper by
Robert B. Wolf, alumnus of Della
ware College, on Teaching Scien-
tifc Management in Engineering
Schools" Among other speakers
at the" Boston convention were
Harrington Emerson, H. K. Hatha-
way, Sanford E. Thompson, and
' other efficiency experts of interna-
tional reputation.
Mr.. Wolf for the last few years
has made a special study of the
science of efficiency as applied to
the work of the engineer. On Mon
day evening, December 18th, he
will lecture at Delaware College on
individuality in Business"
The paper read at the Boston
convention follows: "It is not my
purpose to go into an elaborate dis
cussion of the principles OF sclen-
tifc management but simply to
give briefly my reasons for believ-
ing that it should be taught IN our
engineering schools. In this day
of keen competition no manutac-
turing establishment can be con-
Quoted successfully by the old
rule of thumb methods. This IS
especially true in that class OF
manufacturing which has been es-
tablished for some time and Where
competition and increased cost OF
raw materials have reduced the
margin of profit. There are quite
a number of establishments, such
as machine shops, foundries, etc
where the principles of sclentlnc
management have been worked out
to very fine point by DR.. Taylor
and others. Any one startlng ou.
in this line of work need not be put
to the trouble and the expense OF
conducting a long series OF cosby
experiments to determine such
question for instance, as the pro
ner method of cutting metals. A
thorough course outlining these
principles can we'll be added to the
curriculum of our enqulrlne
schools. This course shoulo oe
scribe in detail the methods useo
in up-to-date machine shops, gong
into the subject of "time STUDY
work, story system, and genera
accounting, which will undoubteo

ground already covered by others
He could then devote his energies
to extending the field still further
