war needs and to the demands

essential to the winning of the
war, to the development of our
industries aud commerce, and
to the accomplishment of the
tasks of the civic aud political
life of nation.
Educational institutions
should use every effort to make
the opportunities and privileges
of training for public service
accessible To all suitably prepar-
ed men and women of college
age. In the cases Of many
worthy young men and women
this will require some provision
for assistance in meeting pay
ments for tuition and labora-

expenses of higher technical
training"

In Need of Trained Men.

ing the draft ages IS to 40, with
provision for training of young
er men, is the report of Score,
tnry Lanes special committee
on higher education and indus
try, just made public, wherein
tho nations need for technical
~ trained men is defined and
specific higher education pro
gram urged.
The committee, which con-
sisted Of Fuller e. Galloway, n
iinancier of LuGrnnge, Ga,
Samuel NJ. FELTON,, director gen
eral of military railways for the
war department., and President
T. \. Alderman, of the Univer-
sity of Virginia, seeks to show
how essential il is, if the gov
ernment's far reaching military
plans are to he carried out suc-
cessfully, that the processes of
higher education be maintained
mt the highest possible efficiency
especially those having to do
with the future supply of men
and women trained in scientific
and technical subjects, includ
ing teachers in these fields.
That is impossible to exagger
ate the Importance of engineer
ing knowledge and skill, in the
broadcast sense, is the Judgment
Of Secretary Lanes committee,
not only directly in the conduct
of military operations. but in
directly in the essential war in
dustries, including agriculture.
The report says:
The engineering problems
confronting the United States
are indefinitely greater than
those of any other OF the great
nations. For an average dis
tance of more than 800 miles,
across the continents and the
seas, we must transport all of
the men, munitions and sup
plies which are to represent lis

"Futhermore,the central pow
ers prepared themselves for this
conflict over a long period of
years, and by this means deter
mined its character to their own
advantage in large measure
The loss by our allies of men of
highly specialized training iii
the early stages Of the war, and
the difficulties in the way of re-
covery, leave this nation in the
position of trustee of the only
remaining sources of supply"

partment has already taken
steps, through the establish

educational institutions in train
