COOPERATIVE Courses
In Engineering

Perhaps the most important single
Development n Engineering Education
for many years has been the introduc-
tio1 Of what are known az the Co
operative Courses in Engineering"
4 number Of years ago a newly ell
ected instructor at Lehigh gave his
first examination in an engineering
subject, He had done his best in his
lectures to put the subject in a way
that he felt would surely make an i'm
preston, but the result Of the exam
nation was complete failure OF
the part Of almost the entire class. He
took the papers to the head of his de.
partment, aud with them handed in
his resignation. He welt that il he
could not vice the work in such a way
as to make it really mean something
to the class, he was in the wrong pro-
fession.
The old professor looked over the
papers handed them back to the young
man, and refused to accept his resig-
nation; for, said he:
These are really about the average
papers. Most students fail to fully
grasp the meaning OF these things I'M
iii after they graduate and get out into
the practical work"
Herman Schneider, for this was the
instructors name, went back to his
work, but he was by no means salts
fed Three or four of the class hal
seemed to get good idea Of the
subject and had assed vel An
investigation showed that these men
had done some practical work in the
professions that they were studyin ?
He found too that in almost every ex-
aminations given by him, the men who
stood high were those who had prac-
tical work
From this Mr.. Schneider came I,
the conclusion that if practical work
under real shop conditions, could be
introduced into the engineering course
it would make the theory much easier
to grasp. However, there seemed Tn
be NO practicable way to work out 4

There were millions of dollars worth
OF shops, all with the very latest equip
ment. Why not use them and let the
students work part time in the shops
and part time in school?
Needless to say Mr.. Schneider found
much opposition to his plan, but
but this did not daunt him, and in
1906 he started in the University of
Cincinnati the first cooperative course
in Engineering.
The Schneider plan was put in
successful operation in Cincinnati, in
the Georgia School of Technology, at
Atlanta, and in other colleges is brief
~ as follows:
The student to enter must meet the
same requirements as any Other
Freshman, and in addition, some spec
Z ial requirements of physical health
and probable aptitude for the partic-
uiar work.
The Freshmen are registered at as
early a date in the summer as is pos
sible, and are sent out into the shops,
, factories and foundries, to work as
helpers in the various trades.
In the fall the class is divided into
two sections. Each man in Section -.
has an alternate in Section 2. Section
AiSt reports at school for two weeks
Of instruction. At the end of two
weeks it returns to the shops and Sec
ton reports for two weeks of school
work. This alienation is continued
throughout the entire FIVE years of the
course. Two weeks of vacation are
given each section, each fall, but this
does not interfere with the continuity
of the shop work as the vacation time
is taken out of the regular school per-
, iods. In this way the full engineering
course elading to a degree is given
Nothing is omitted, and nothing is

abridged.
The objection might be raised that
the student working only half his
time will not be as efficient in his
shop work as regular helper who
worked continually. But in Atlanta,
and in Cincinnati, where the course
has been in operation much longer and
on a larger scale, the opposite seems
to be true. This is probably due to
the fact that the Coop" student is in
general the better type of young men,
more on the alert to learn all he can,
and having keener appreciation of
the fact that large part of his sue
cass as an engineer depends on how
he makes good" at his present job.
The manufacturers of Cincinnati are
quite enthusiastic about the course
ana many 'Co-Ops" have been advanc
ed to positions of considerable re-
sponsibility even before graduating.
The student is paid at a rate of
from 10c an hour up for his shop work
and, while it is not the chief aim to
furnish means whereby young man
can earn a part of his expenses, yet
this Is very valuable feature of the
course.
The real aim in having the student
do so large an amount of shop work
undue commercial conditions is, that
he may learn to coordinate theory
and practice; and, what is even more
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1915-07-12

important, that he may learn to know
the working man SO that he may later
deal with him intelligently and SYM
pathetically. A special department of
coordination takes care of the outside
work and its relation to theory. and
every effort is made to encourage the
student to get the most possible out

This department also makes a care

Of each job, and by analyzing his sue
cesses and failures, an attempt is
made to form scientific basis for
advice given as to the field of endavo~
in which the young graduate will most
probably meet with success.
On the whole while it is felt that
much can be done to improve the de-
tails fthe cause, it is believtd that
the Coop" is better equipped than
tht regular" to grapple successfully
with tht problems of his profession.

SKATING ON THE SIDEWALKS

Nobody likes any better than the
Star to see young folks enjoy them
selves, but in Ocala skating on the
sidewalks is being carried to excess.
It's all right, we think, for the boys
and girls to skate in the residence
parts of town. But the skaters are
becoming prevalent in the business
center, crossing the streets and often
going into the stores.
"A boy or girl on skates is pro-
jertile that can move with considers
Bile force, and, when going in one
direction and looking in another, as
young folks are much given to doing,
on crowded street is not only an in
convenience but danger.
No matter how sl1illful skater
may be, he hasn't entire control of
himself, and in crowd is a potent
threat Of accident.
healthy sport and the Star is glad to
see the children enjoying themselves
on the sidewalks of the back streets.
We are willing to give the entire way
any time TO bunch of boys or girls
careering by on the nimble rollers.
But they should keep away from the
business center, where they interfere
with traffic and expose themselves to
considerable danger. If they are al
lowed to continue skating across the
streets near the square, one of them
will sooner or later get mixed up
with an auto, and funeral will prob
ably result

prominent citizen almost ruined his

short talks. They believed in the
movement and know that It is feasible.
Mr.. MacKay, president of the Board
of Trade for the past two years, is
in favor of the movement and is one
of its fathers.
Mr.. Baxter Carn, whom Mr.. Gary
introduced as probably the original
booster for the canal association and
the man who has done most for the
cause, made fine talk Mr.. earn
has his whole heart set on the build
ing of a canal to Ocala and will never
rest till it is accomplished. He said
that the saving in freight that is
paid out from Ocala would itself
build the canal in a comparatively
few years.
Mr.. Frank Harris of the Banner
made good talk, as did Mr.. David
IS. Woodrow, Mr.. Jake Gerig, Mr..
Colbert and others.
Messrs. w. D. earn, chairman of the
Board of County Commissioners, and
Mr.. ]. T. Hutchins,. of the second dis
trict, both spoke in favor of the can
al and put themselves on record as
believing the county should help f.
nance the matter when it came to the
work of construction, and personally,
too, they were in favor of it.
Mr.. Jack McCully and Mr.. R. W.
Erwin from the west side of the coun-
ty made good booster talks.
Mr.. Ed Carmichael said he was in
favor of anything that would help
Ocala, and while he was not member
of the association he favored the
movement.
Mr.. M. L. Mershon made good ad-
dress on the same line.
There were probably others who
made talks, but the reporter did not
take note of them all.
At the close, Mr.. Gary announced
that Mr.. Rooney, secretary Of the
Board of Trade would pronounce the
benediction" and Mr.. Rooney made one
of his happy, optomistic and booster
talks which was heartily appIauded
and the smoker was over.

COMMENCED THE CANAL
Event of Last Night a Pleasant Pre-
liminary to the Undertaking


The Silver Springs Canal Commits
sion gave its first smoker, last night
at Dewey's Cafe.
The object of the smoker and oys-
ter supper was to get the members
of the association together and to ac-
quaint the guests who were invited
with the objects and aims of the COM
mission and association.
About sixty men attended the smok-
er, some good talks were made and
the two hours from till IL were en-
joyed by them all.
Mr.. Dewey served the guests with
oysters raw, fried and stewed, bread,
crackers, olives, pickles, slaw, coffee
and cigars and there was more than
could be eaten of the good things pre-
pared.
In the absence of Col. R. F. Rogers,
president of the Board of Trade, Mr..
w. T. Gary, one of the original mem
bers and an earnest worker in the
cause, was asked to preside as chair
man and toast master, which he did
in most entertaining manner.
Short speeches were made by differ
ent gentlemen during the evening all
of which were interesting and timely.
Mr.. Gary, very briefly stated the
bjects and hopes of the association.
He also told of the organization and

Springs Canal Association is compos-

VICE PRESIDENT WOODROW

Mr.. David S. Woodrow returned
yesterday afternoon from Jackson
vile, where he attended the meeting
and organization of the Florida Real
ty Association, of which he was elect
ed vice president for this section.
Probably one of the best assets of the
organization is the fact that the

its inquiries to the agents composing
the association, and will cooperate
with the association in its work.

One purpose of the organization, it
is stated, will be the giving of correct
information concerning property in
Florida and protecting the investor
from misrepresentation The meeting
was held in the rooms of the jackson
vile Real Estate Exchange. Appli-
cation will be made at once for letters

Officers were named yesterday as
follows:

George Colburn, Lake City; T. M.

B. j. Butts, Jacksonville, vice presi-
dents, and B. F. McGraw, Jackson
vile, secretary and treasurer.
AS soon as the legal formalities of
securing charter are complied with,
the concern will get down to business.
That there is great interest in this
movement was the statement Of those
present yesterday, as it will be oppos-
ed to land dealers who are unscrup-
ulous in selling to investors. So
called land sharks, it is stated, have

done much harm to the state in the
past. Only lands certified by the best
experts will be handled by the new

In connection with this phase of the
work, competent agent will be main
tanned in every county seat of the
state, and especially in the cities and
towns. 1t is believed that in this
manner ample protection can be Civ

those, who had been invited to the
meeting were prevented from being
present. On this account letters and
kilograms literally poured into the
