Washington-"Where you going to

exploit In the recent fighting In France
In which the private, single-handcd, af-

veloped since the war began. This
system is entirely novel and Distinctly
American. Under 1t no outside talent
has been required to provide instruc-
tors and no student not q citizen has
been given instruction.
When the wal began the board pro-
ceeded on the theory that there was
plenty of material In the country for
an adequate supply of marine engin-
GERS. 1t estimated that there were sew
eral thousand men In the engine rooms
and firerooms of existing merchant
ships-oilers. water tenders and fire.
men-who could be made into engin-
GERS by a little encouragement and in
struction. 1t estimated also that there
were many hundreds of marine en-
gineers following other pursuits ashore
when the war began, who could be in
terested by the government In a propo-
sition to return to the sea.
Finally It estimated that there were
thousands of stationary engineers, To-
connective drivers and machinists who
had worked on marine engine construc-
tion or repairs ashore who could be
quickly trained to become marine en-
gineers. These smen were known to
have the groundwork OF knowledge
necessary for handling marine en-
gines. 1t remained merely a question
Of teaching them the things they should
know about saltwater practice In en-
cheering and to give them their "sea-
legs" before starting them of on voy-
ages In the new merchant feet.
college Stuff" Makes Its Bow.
OF the many revolutionary training
practices growing out of this war, none
was more striking than the shipping
boards plan for giving these men tech
nical drilling. The plan originated In
Boston with Henry Howard, the
boards director of recruiting. Mr..
Howard, Is a graduate of the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology and a
firm believer In the value of technical
training to every kind Of mechanical
worker.
His idea was to give the men needed
as marine engineers a short, intensive
curse of training at the best techni-
cal colleges before sending them to
sea.
The idea was so novel that the
grfmy-handed mechanic was a little
inclined to shy at 1t. college STUFF
seemed too '~hifalutin'" to be worth
much. The old-fashioned engineer got
his knowledge In the same way as the
boys In the Dotheboys hall, by manual
demonstration. He was showed" by
his superior ON the job. That had be-
come the accepted way Of training en-
gineers on American ships.
But the new method had not long
made Its bow before mechanics SEEM
ed to see something in It. The firemen
and oilers took to 1t; and they came
out with second or third assistant en-
gineer's licenses in such q surprisingly
short time that the method of their
advancement commanded respect.

70 Stop Death Under Fifty.

London.-Death under fifty must be
prevented. Sir George Newman, In
making a health report to the board Of
education, lays down this aim. All
medical education. he argues, is build
ed primarily ON the curing Of disease,
not its prevention. Examination OF
records shows, says Sir George, that
most fatalities under fifty are more OF
less directly prcventable.
